语言是如此复杂,以至于几乎每一条语法“规则”都有例外, 或者说简单的规则都有例外。
不定冠词A(N) 一般至于单数可数名词连用,但是有时候是可以与复数可数名词连用的。
I'm a good twenty years younger than my wife. [ MY DREAM, oh God bless me]
I ate a good three hefty steaks this morning.】
I took a marvelous eighty points in the game.
They allowed us only a skimpy two days of vacation.
(I gave her another twenty minutes to finish her typing.)
...an incredible three and a half strides... [as in your example sentence]
形式:a(n) + adjective + number + plural nouns
意义:这种用法多多少少有强调、惊叹的意思。强调、惊叹的意思表现在那个形容词上面,而强调、惊叹的原因是那个数字。
【注:a good twenty/three... 中的good是个强调词(又如 a good many... 参见nice), 与上列其他的例子又有所不同,因此其后的名词前面仍可以有形容词,这个形容词才对应于上述“强调、惊叹的意思”所表现在的“那个形容词” , 例如上举‘’hefty‘’.】
这种用法虽说是“例外”,但也不算很罕见。
Incidently, I'm afraid that there is a mistake in one of the sentences in the picture: the 'unawares' should have been 'unaware'.
