- m/ n; \4 a$ d! v* P/ o most + 名词,如:most people, most Indian tribes;) E. j: J. S5 h4 H
most + of + 限定词 + 名词或代词,如:most of his paintings,most of us, most of the modern artists
9 l' V# v/ a; R: g6 o: O, T2. most有时意思等同于very, 此时most之前用不定冠词,如:+ | ]9 j1 p# }$ ~) n: w
a most lovely girl, a most impressive proposal 2 `: o. r# N! ?" r `
