  中英文量词的区别
  measure word: 量词
  Chinese meansure words are very specific, i.e. many can be only used to describe a certain type of thing: 中文的量词比较特定,不同的量词对应不同的东西
  Measure words in English aren't as specific as Chinese: 英语的量词没有中文那么特定
  But because they're more general, using them appropriately might be challenging: 但是因为比较宽泛,所以要恰当使用也不那么容易
  美国人最爱用的量词:a dozen
  A dozen: 一打
  A dozen means 12:一打表示12个
  Eggs are most commonly bought by the dozen: 最常用来形容鸡蛋
  A dozen eggs: 一盒鸡蛋
  We wouldn't call it a box of eggs: 英语里不会说一盒蛋,而是说一打鸡蛋
  You can also buy half a dozen eggs: 也可以买小盒的,半打
  Half a dozen or a half dozen?
  Both are correct: 两种说法都是正确的
  Dozens can also be used in the plural 1 form: 打还可以变成复数
  Dozens of people: 好多人(几十个)
  Dozens of options: 许多的选择
  Dozens究竟是多少?
  Since English doesn't really have a word for "tens", dozens is used to express the idea:由于英语没有一个词表明“几十”,所以dozens用来形容几十这个数量
  "Dozens" is the next step down from hundreds: “dozens”代表几十个,再上去就是几百个
  最浪漫的量词:a couple
  现在常说的“CP", 就是couple. 不过美国人可不会说“CP", 这是有亚洲特色的英语。
  A couple
  A couple: 两个,也是一对恋人、爱人的意思
  A couple到底是几个?
  Strictly 2 speaking, "a couple" means 2: 严格来说,a couple是两个
  A couple of pens: 两支笔
  A couple of cups: 两个杯子
  But in everyday conversations, it could also mean several, a few: 但是日常口语里,它也能指几个、多个
  Let's get a couple of tomatoes: 我们买几个番茄
  Let's get a couple of apples: 我们买几个苹果
  It really depends on the context 3: 具体的数量,还是要通过语境分析
  A few
  This is a word everyone learns early on: 这个词大家应该是最早学到的
  注意语法
  A few___ 不是 a few of ___
  Most measure words are followed by "of" but "few" is an exception 4: 量词通常都用“of”链接后面的名词,但“a few”是个例外(few同理)
  "a few pens", not "a few of pens": 是 few pens,而不是a few of pens
  但是有例外
  The only time you use "a few of" is when you're not being specific: 当 a few后面跟的不是具体事物时,要加of。比如:
  a few of these
  a few of those
  a few of us

  A tea spoon of: 一茶匙
  形容大数量的量词
  A ton of: 美国人最爱用
  Americans love using the word "a ton": 美国人非常爱用“a ton"这个词
  An actual ton is 1000kg: 这个词确切的重量是一吨、1000公斤
  Canadians spell the word as "tonne": 加拿大人的拼法是tonne
  In spoken English, a ton means "a lot": 口语里,a ton的意思是很多、大量的
  A ton of homework": 很多作业
  A ton of work: 很多工作
  Ton in the plural form: ton也能当复数
  Most common use of "tons": tons最常见的用法
