“many a man” 这个看成复数还是单数、?
单数
“many a+单数可数名词”形式上为单数,但意义上为复数(意为“许多”),若用作主语,其谓语通常与形式一致而不与意义一致(即谓语用单数).如:
Many a student has seen the film. 许多学生看过这部电影.
Many a fine man has died in that battle. 许多优秀的士兵死于那次战役.
Many a ship has been wrecked on those rocks. 许多船只毁于那些礁石之上.
Many a young man has tried and failed. 很多年轻人都试过,而且失败了.
Many a successful store has paid its rent cheerfully. 许多成功的店铺都非常乐意地付了房租.
注:“many a+单数名词”是一个十分正式的结构,在口语或非正式文体中一般都用 many+复数名词”代之.
