在英语句子中,作谓语的动词应在人称和数两方面与句子的主语保持一致。在处理这一问题时可从不同的角度着眼,采取不同的原则,“意念一致原则”就是其中一种。它是根据主语所表达的意思确定其单复数,进而确定谓语动词所需采用的相应形式。这样的主语通常是集体名词、名词化的形容词、数量名词等等。 In English sentences, verbs that are predicates should be consistent with the subject of sentences in both person and number. In dealing with this issue, we can take a different perspective and adopt different principles. One of them is “the principle of consensus of ideas”. It is based on the meaning of the subject to determine its singular and plural, and then determine the appropriate form of the predicate verb. Such subjects are usually collective nouns, nominalized adjectives, number nouns and so on.
