4个回答

  • 这是学习英语大难题之一.有时候"a"是强调用的,连native speakers都不是很清楚是为什么,就是这么说的.也许就是因为 "a" + "part" sound like a third word,"apart" 分开的意思.

    part 一般不加"a" when we're talking about:

    1.indefinite (unquantifiable) portion/amount

    2.quality/attribute

    给你下文:

    Local TV broadcast part of the interview.(no adjective)

    Local TV broadcast a crucial part of the interview.(+adjective)

    Part of the trouble is that I can’t afford it right now.

    (如果说 A part of the trouble is .听起来不自然)

    We’ve only done part of the work.

    (意味着 vague and undefined amount of work)

    We’ve only done a part of the work.

    (amount of work we can quantify)

    We are glad you have chosen to be a part of our community.

    (we look to you as a pillar of the community)

    We are glad you have chosen to be part of our community.

    (we're glad you're one of us)
