Many’s the tree that has been cut down. 已砍了不少树。
请问这是一种什么句式?怎么样理解?谢谢!
▲依据《牛津高阶英汉双解词典》:many’s the sb / sth who / that...是一个句式,意思是there are many people / things that...有不少的……人[事物]。如:
Many’s the promise that has been broken. 违反诺言的事常常有。
Many’s the time that I heard him use those words. 有不少次我听到他用那些词汇。
▲比较有关表达 many a … 的使用方法(两者意思基本相同):
Many a promise has been broken. 违反诺言的事常常有。
I heard him use those words many a time. 有不少次我听到他用那些词汇。
