many / a lot of / lots of

Many is used only with countable nouns. It is used mainly in questions and negative sentences. * many 只与可数名词连用，主要用于疑问句和否定句中：◆Do you go to many concerts? 你常去听音乐会吗？◆ How many people came to the meeting? 多少人来参加了会议？◆I don't go to many concerts. 我不常去听音乐会。 Although it is not common in statements, it is used after so, as and too. 该词在陈述句中不很常用，但用于 so、as 和 too 之后：◆You made too many mistakes. 你犯的错误太多了。
In statements a lot of or lots of (informal) are much more common. 在陈述句中 a lot of 或 lots of（非正式）常用得多：◆I go to a lot of concerts. 我常去听音乐会。◆'How many CDs have you got?' 'Lots!' “你有几张光盘？” “多着呢！” However, they are not used with measurements of time or distance. 不过，上述词语不与表示时间和距离的量词连用：◆I stayed in England for many/quite a few/ten weeks. 我在英格兰逗留了许多周/好几周/十周。◆I stayed in England a lot of weeks. When a lot of/lots of means 'many', it takes a plural verb. * a lot of/lots of 意为 many 时，谓语动词用复数：◆Lots of people like Italian food. 许多人喜欢意大利食物。 You can also use plenty of (informal). 亦可用 plenty of（非正式）：◆Plenty of stores stay open late. 许多商店都营业到很晚。 These phrases can also be used in questions and negative sentences. 以上短语亦可用于疑问句和否定句中。
A lot of/lots of is still felt to be informal, especially in BrE, so in formal writing it is better to use many or a large number of in statements. * a lot of/lots of 在英式英语中尤被视为非正式，因此在正式的书面陈述句中较宜用 many 或 a large number of。
