可數(shù)名詞，dozens of的意思是幾十；很多。dozens of后接可數(shù)名詞的復(fù)數(shù)形式，of不能省去。例句：Dozens of villages have been razed.幾十個(gè)村莊被夷為平地。

Dozens of servants had catered to his every whim.

幾十個(gè)仆人迎合他所有稀奇古怪的念頭。

Dozens of miles of railway track have been torn up

好幾十英里的鐵軌被毀壞了。

Dozens of reporters camped out on her doorstep.

許多記者在她家門口露宿。

He said there were dozens of economic plans in the works

他說有幾十項(xiàng)經(jīng)濟(jì)計(jì)劃已經(jīng)開始實(shí)施。

Dozens of people have been injured and many vehicles set on fire

很多人受了傷，多輛車起火。

1. 當(dāng)dozen與具體數(shù)字連用時(shí)，既不加復(fù)數(shù)詞尾-s，也不后接介詞of。

2.當(dāng)dozen不與具體數(shù)字連用，而是表示不確定的泛指數(shù)時(shí)，則不僅要加復(fù)數(shù)詞尾-s，而且要后接介詞of，此時(shí)可將dozens of(許多，幾十)視為習(xí)語。如：I’ve been there dozens of times. 我去過那兒幾十次。She’s got dozens of boy-friends. 她的男朋友很多。下面一例中的dozens加了復(fù)數(shù)詞尾-s也屬為似情況：Pack them in dozens. 按打裝袋吧。
