What do you think her father is? 你認(rèn)為她爸爸是干什么工作的?(不能說(shuō)What do you think is her father?)

2. Then it has no choice but to lie down and sleep. 于是,它別無(wú)選擇,只好躺下睡覺(jué)。
have no choice but to do是一固定短語(yǔ),意為"除......之外,別無(wú)選擇"。but在此句中是介詞,作"除了......以外"(= except)解,往往用于含有否定意義的句子中。例如:
There is no one here but me.這里除了我以外沒(méi)有別人。
They had no other choice but to surrender. 他們別無(wú)選擇,只好投降。
but用作介詞時(shí),后面還可接動(dòng)詞原形。這種情況常出現(xiàn)在but前面出現(xiàn)實(shí)義動(dòng)詞do / does / did作謂語(yǔ)或固定搭配can not but / can not help but(不得不)中。例如:
I can do nothing but wait here. 沒(méi)有別的辦法,只能在這兒等。
I can't help but feel sorry for her.我只能為她難過(guò)。
I can not but admire his courage.我不得不佩服他的勇敢。

3. It hides large quantities of nuts inside trees.它把大量的堅(jiān)果藏在樹(shù)里面。
a (large) quantity of修飾可數(shù)或不可數(shù)名詞均可,作主語(yǔ)時(shí)采取就近一致的原則,其謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞通常與短語(yǔ)中of后面的名詞的數(shù)保持一致。例如:
A large quantity of beer was sold out. 大量的啤酒被售出。
A large quantity of blouses were on sale. 大量罩衫有售。
the quantity of后跟復(fù)數(shù)名詞或不可數(shù)名詞構(gòu)成的短語(yǔ)作主語(yǔ)時(shí),謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞通常用單數(shù)。例如:
The quantity of books in the library is amazing. 圖書(shū)館里的藏書(shū)數(shù)量驚人。
The quantity of heat in the office has not been increased. 辦公室里的熱量沒(méi)有增加。
(large) quantities of后跟復(fù)數(shù)名詞或不可數(shù)名詞構(gòu)成的短語(yǔ)作主語(yǔ)時(shí),謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞通常用復(fù)數(shù)。例如:
Quantities of food (nuts) were on the table. 桌子上有許多食品(堅(jiān)果)。
