关于number和amount的区别(Merriam-Webster)：
Number is regularly used with count nouns
eg:a large number of mistakes; any number of times
while amount is mainly used with mass nouns
eg:annual amount of rainfall; a substantial amount of money
The use of amount with count nouns has been frequently criticized; it usually occurs when the number of things is thought of as a mass or collection
eg:glad to furnish any amount of black pebbles New Yorker
a substantial amount of film offers Lily Tomlin
or when money is involved
eg:a substantial amount of loans E. R. Black作者: tongxun 时间: 2002-10-7 09:04
