Did you have a
nickname growing up ?
Yeah.
I had a number of them.
【A number of】
(1)正式用法 好幾個 several 例 He has written a number of articles for
the school paper.
(2)好幾個但不很多 More than a few, but not many
「很多」與「沒有」之間,以遞減的方式排列,英語的用法:
Many(很多)> a number
of(不很多)> a few(幾個) > few(幾乎沒有) > none(沒有)
若被問起有沒有異性朋友時,建議在同儕面前用“ a number of ”- 不致被人看扁;在有意替自己牽紅線的人前要用“
few ”- 牽起來才帶勁。
