有时我会很困惑该使用哪一个the number of people还是a number of people 。两者有什么区别?

好的! a number of people指一个随机数或一组人。 a number of people意味着相当多的人,除非特别说明为一小群人。所以可以说类似于说a few people或quite a few people 。 The number of people是我们谈论特定事物时的数量,通常是特定数量。就像在这里,就像我们在谈论一定数量的可以提供帮助的人。示例: A number of people stopped by and asked when the shop will open. (有人路过问店什么时候开门。) => 不定人数,随机人数 例子: The number of people who stopped by to ask when the shop is opening was quite big. (有不少人路过询问商店何时开门。) => 一定数量的人路过。示例: There was a number of people at the shop. (店里人不少。) => 很多人例子: The number of people who have commented on my outfit is fairly large. (有不少人评论我的衣服。) => 人数
