一、lots of 和 a lot of 意思一样,意为“许多”,表示量很大,但是没必要指明量的多少,多用在比较不正式的谈话或是写作中(正式的用 mang 或 much),后面跟可数名词和不可数名词,谓语的单复数根据后面接的名词来变化,例如: A lot of people went to the game.Lots of people went to the game.A lot of computers are needed at schools. ----> computers 为复数,谓语用复数Lots of computers are needed at schools.A lot of snow falls in winter.---->snow为不可数名词,谓语用单数Lots of snow falls in winter.A lot of water is wasted.一般情况下,lots of 和 a lot of 可以通用,相比于 a lot of,lots of 更为不正式 二、a lot 当作副词,意为“经常,很多”,例如:She's a lot happier now than she was.I don't go there a lot anymore.Mum and I used to fall out a lot. 三、为避免句子冗长,通常把 lots of 简写为 lots,相当于 plenty,例如: She didn’t bring anything to eat but we’ve got lots anyway. = She didn’t bring anything to eat but we’ve got lots of sth (sth edible) anyway.A: I haven’t got any money.B: Don’t worry, I’ve got plenty. (plenty of money)
