一、the number of1. 表示数量:即the number of表示“……的数量(指总数量)”,这是大家比较熟悉的用法:There has been a steady decrease in the number of visitors. 访客数量逐渐减少。We have managed to increase the number of patients treated. 我们已设法提高了收治病人的数量。The birth rate is the number of births compared to the number of the people. 出生率是出生人数与人口总数之比。The last ten years have seen a dramatic fall in the number of adoptions. 过去十年中收养孩子的人数明显减少了。这类结构若用作主语,谓语动词用单数:The number of people in the crowd was underestimated by 5,000. 这群人的总数被少估计了5 000 人。The number of new cases of the illness appears to be declining. 这种病症的新发病例数量呈下降趋势。The number of people with diabetes is growing, partly because of an increase in levels of obesity. 患糖尿病的人数不断上升,部分原因是肥胖人数增加。2. 表示号码:即the number of表示“……的号码”。如:What is the number of your latest requisition? 你最近一次订购单的号码是多少?Slot told Natalie the number of his suite. 斯洛特把他套间的号码告诉了纳塔莉。The policeman demanded the number of his driver’s license. 警察要他说出驾驶执照的号码。I’ve marked down the number of each item sold. 卖出的每件东西的号码我都记下来了。I can’t see the number of that bus without my glasses. 没戴眼镜我看不清楚那辆公共汽车的号码。二、the numbers of1. 表示数量:与the number of的用法相同,也是表示“……的数量(指总数量)”,有人说用复数的numbers语气更强调,但没有在相关权威资料上找到依据。如:There was a rapid growth in the numbers of private cars. 私人汽车的数量增长很快。(牛津英语搭配词典)There is a large increase in the numbers of young people going to college. 念大学的年轻人增加了不少。(牛津中阶词典)Look at the numbers of small businesses that are being hammered unmercifully. 看看有多少小企业正在遭受无情的打击。(柯林斯词典)The growing popularity of the subject is evident in the numbers of students wanting to study it. 从想修读的学生人数就可以明显看出这门课程越来越受欢迎。(朗文应试词典)The numbers of people involved have been grossly inflated by the media. 涉及的人数被媒体严重辱大了。(朗文应试词典)The last ten years have seen a twofold increase in the numbers of deaths on the road. 过去十年里死于道路交通事故的人数增加了一倍。(朗文英语写作词典)The union is pressing for higher pay but has made no stipulations about the numbers of workers to be employed. 工会在努力争取提高薪酬,但没有明确规定应雇用多少工人。(朗文英语写作词典)另外,若指多个群体各自的数量或同一群体在不同阶段的数量,则宜用the numbers of。如:The numbers of visitors in different seasons vary greatly. 不同季节的游客数量差异很大。比较下面两句:The report highlights the decline in the number of native plants and insects. 报告强调当地植物及昆虫的数量有所减少。(用单数的number,指植物和昆虫的总数量)The report highlights the decline in the numbers of native plants and insects. 报告强调当地植物及昆虫的数量有所减少。(用复数的number,指植物和昆虫各自的数量,相当于the number of native plants and the number of insects)再比较下面两句:The number of football players and basketball players in our school are constantly being swelled. 我校足球队和篮球队的队员在不断地增长。(用单数的number,指足球队和篮球队的总数量)The numbers of football players and basketball players in our school are constantly being swelled. 我校足球队和篮球队的队员在不断地增长。(用复数的number,指足球队和篮球队各自的数量,相当于the number of football players and the number of basketball players)注意,与the number of...作主语时要接单数动词不同,the numbers of...作主语时后面要接复数动词。如:The numbers of the unemployed are still increasing. 失业人数还在增加。(《张道真英语用法》)The numbers of people involved have been grossly inflated by the media. (D125) 涉及的人数被媒体严重夸大了。(《朗文考试词典》) 2. 表示号码:与the number of(表示“某个”事物的号码)不同,the numbers of通常表示“多个”事物各自的号码。如The numbers of the houses on this side of the street are even. 街道这边的房屋的门牌号是双数。(摘自L.G.Alexander的Right Word Wrong Word)网友举2019年天津卷的例子也属类似用法(这里的number表示“数值”):To calculate biological age, Professor Levine at Yale University identified nine biomarker that seemed to be the most influential on lifespan by a simple blood test. The numbers of those markers, such as blood sugar and immune (免疫的) measures, can be put into the computer, and the algorithm (算式, 算法) does the rest. 为了计算生物年龄,耶鲁大学的莱文教授通过一项简单的血液检测,确定了九种似乎对寿命影响最大的生物标志物。这些标志物(各自)的数值(如血糖和免疫指标等)可输入电脑,其余工作则由算法完成。

原句没有错,这里的复数名词是被作为一个整体看待(不定冠词的这类用法尤其见于表示时间或金额的短语前面)。如以下例句均摘自英语词典: It’s a full four miles to the station. 到车站有4 英里。She’s been writing the book for a full ten years. 这本书她已经写了整整10 年。Annette stood for a full five minutes, lost in thought. 安尼特站了足足五分钟陷人沉思。又如下面的例子,摘自《葛传椝英语惯用法词典》:a further five minutesa mere two hoursa very busy six weeksa whole three yearsa pleasant spring holidaysan additional ¥60

你的两个句子,第一句是对的,第二句不对: 正:Many employers seek diversity in their staffs. 误:The manager sent an email to all staffs. staff 表示“全体人员”,是集合名词,a staff 不是指“一个人员”,而是指某一个单位的“全体人员”;two staffs不是指“两个人员”,而是指某两个单位的“全体人员”。 1. Many employers seek diversity in their staffs.本句之所以对,是因为句中的staffs 是指不同雇主的“员工”,Many employers 是指多个雇主,所以其针其对应的员工也应该是多个,故用复数形式的 staffs。 2. The manager sent an email to all staffs.本句之所以不对,因为常识上看,一个经理,他不可能给“所有公司的员工”去发邮件。 顺便说一句,要表示“一个职员”“一个工作人员”,可说成a staff member或one of the staff;用作主语时,其谓语动词可用单数(视为整体)或复数(考虑其个体): On every trip a staff member brings musical instruments. 每一次旅行时,一个工作人员都会携带乐器。 The school’s teaching staff is [are] excellent. 学校师资很不错。

你可以把 more so than 看作是固定搭配,也可以不看作固定搭配,因为其实它也可以作进一步分析:so 是替代前面出现过的形容词或类似形容词的词。2020全国卷1中的这个 so 用于替代前文的of particular interest,即:The far side of the moon is of particular interest to scientists because it has a lot of deep craters (环形山), more of particular interest than the familiar near side. 又如:She feels relaxed here, even more so than at home. 她在这里感到很放松,比在家还要放松。He’s quite bright—well, certainly more so than his brother. 他很聪明——嗯,比他弟弟还要聪明。Of all the careless people no one is more so than Bill. 在所有粗心的人当中,没有一个比比尔更粗心的了。The choir sang sweetly, and none more so than the Welsh boy. 唱诗班唱得很悦耳,尤其是没人比得上那个威尔士男孩儿。再如下面的句子也属于类似情况,so 代替的是前面提到的情况:Many people are concerned about education, but nowhere more so than in France. 很多人都关心教育,但没有任何一个地方比法国更甚。There has always been an interest in genetic cloning, but never more so than in recent years. 基因克隆向来引人关注,近年来更是如此。

look past 表示“不关注”“不注意”“忽视”。句子大意:Customers today look past the fact that something is secondhand and focus instead on the fact that they have something unique to wear and are not overstuffing their own wardrobes(衣柜) or contributing to landfill.如今的顾客不再在意东西不是是二手货,而是关注自己穿的衣服是否有个性——他们不会把自己的衣柜塞得满满的,也不会给垃圾填埋场添乱。附注:look past 的基本义为“目光扫过”,可引申指“跳过”“不关注”“无视”“不注意”“不在意”等。如:He looked past me with no sign of recognition. 他的目光从我脸上扫过,好像完全没有认出我。He looked past me to the next customer. 他跳过我去招待下一位顾客。Burke's article was a cheap shot (= unkind criticism) at teenagers that did nothing to look past stereotypes. 伯克的文章是对无视传统观念的青少年的无情抨击。(摘自《朗文词典》)

是的,网友的句子确实欠妥,英语通常不以间接宾语作为强调的强调成分,遇此情况通常是要把间接宾语前补上合适的介词(to或for):欠妥:It’s her girlfriend that he lent his money.通常:It’s to her girlfriend that he lent his money.如果不在间接宾语前添加介词,在原句末尾添加介词也可以:通常:It’s her girlfriend that he lent his money to.

你的句子应用复动词 live。What friends she has live abroad.=The (few) friends she has live abroad.what后面接的是单数名词,则用单词动词。如:What money he has is yours.=The (little) money he has is yours.
