most與most of的用法比較

most與most of的區(qū)別在許多情況下與所修飾的名詞是否帶有限定詞（如冠詞、指示代詞、物主代詞、名詞所有格等）有關(guān)，具體說來，應(yīng)注意以下幾點(diǎn)：

1. 若所修飾的名詞前沒有限定詞，通常要用most，不用most of。如：

Most people agree with me. 多數(shù)人同意我的意見。

Most cheese is made from cow’s milk. 奶酪大都是用牛奶做的。

Most people work from nine to five. 大多數(shù)人從9點(diǎn)工作到5點(diǎn)。

但是，在習(xí)慣上不帶冠詞的專有名詞（如人名和地名等）或抽象名詞（如學(xué)科名詞等）前，要用most of，不用most。如：

Most of George seemed to be covered with hair. 喬治身上好像大部分地方都長(zhǎng)毛。

Most of Wales was without electricity last night. 昨天夜里，威爾士多數(shù)地區(qū)都停電了。

2. 若所修飾的名詞前帶有限定詞，則用most of，不能只用most。如：

Most of my friends live abroad. 我的朋友大多數(shù)住在國(guó)外。

Most of the people here know each other. 這里大多數(shù)人互相認(rèn)識(shí)。

He’s eaten two pizzas and most of a cold chicken. 他吃了兩張比薩餅和大半只冷雞。

Most of those workers have still been unable to find jobs. 這批工人中大多數(shù)仍未能找到工作。

注意要不按漢語(yǔ)思維電影，將限定詞放在most之前。如：

誤：My most friends live abroad.

誤：The most people here know each other.

誤：He’s eaten two pizzas and a most cold chicken.

誤：Those most workers have still been unable to find jobs.

對(duì)于可數(shù)名詞來說，如果是單數(shù)形式，不能直接在其前使用most，而應(yīng)使用“most of+限定詞+單數(shù)可數(shù)名詞”的形式。如：

Narrative makes up most of the book. 記敘文占書的大部分。

You’ve got most of the bed as usual. 你跟往常一樣占了大半張床。

The hen sits for most of the day. 這只母雞整天大部分時(shí)間都在抱窩。

It was wet and windy for most of the week. 一周大半時(shí)間都是又下雨又刮風(fēng)。

3. 若直接用在代詞之前，要用most of，不用most。如：

Most of us thought he was wrong. 我們大多數(shù)人認(rèn)為他錯(cuò)了。

Most of them probably eat too much meat. 他們大多數(shù)人都吃太多的肉了。

He has a lot of free time—he spends most of it in the garden. 他空閑時(shí)間很多——大都消磨在花園里了。

注意，在關(guān)系代詞前也只能用most of，不用most。如：

The buses, most of which were already full, were surrounded by an angry crowd. 公共汽車大多數(shù)都已經(jīng)擠滿了人，它們被憤怒的人群包圍著。

I have a number of American relatives, most of whom live in Texas. 我有一些美國(guó)親戚，他們大都住在得克薩斯。
