一、dozen表示“ 打,十二个”的意思,而score表示“二十”的意思。
二、两词与数词,a,many,several连用修饰名词复数时,都要用单数,其后的介词of有无均可。但是,习惯上score多与of连用,而dozen很少与of连用,如:two score(of)workers,three score and ten people,several dozen children,many dozen books。
三、两词与of连用(of不省略)时,可用于人称代词宾格(us,you,them)或指示代词(these,those)修饰的名词前,表示所属关系。如:a dozen of these/those pelple,two dozen of them/us,a score of these/those workers.
四、 两词的复数形式与of连用时,表示不确切的数量,意为“许多……,大量的……”。如:dozen of people,dozens of times,scores of people.而some dozen people是“一打左右的人”(大约十二人)与some dozen of people同义。(some)dozen of people是“若干打的人”(几十个人,许多人)。
五、除了上述用法之外,还要注意下列习惯用语:(pack)in dozens〔成打(包装)〕,(sell)by the dozen[论打(出售)],in scores(成批的)
