amount 同時具有可數名詞、與不可數名詞的性質。它自己可以用單數，也可以用複數。後面接的名詞，可以是可數名詞、不可數名詞、集合名詞。請參考下面兩本字典的用法說明與例句： (1) Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English amount noun [uncountable and countable] 1. a quantity of something such as time, money, or a substance amount of They spend equal amounts of time in California and New York. a considerable/large/enormous etc amount a considerable amount of money a small/tiny etc amount a tiny amount of dirt Please pay the full amount (=of money) by the end of the month. 2. used to talk about how much there is of a feeling or quality a large/considerable etc amount of something Her case has attracted an enormous amount of public sympathy. a certain/fair amount of something Dina encountered a fair amount of envy among her colleagues. 3. no amount of something can/will etc do something used to say that something has no effect: No amount of persuasion could make her change her mind. 4. any amount of something used to say that there is plenty of something, and no more is needed: The school has any amount of resources and equipment.
