2. Then it has no choice but to lie down and sleep. 于是,它別無選擇,只好躺下睡覺。

have no choice but to do是一固定短語,意為"除......之外,別無選擇"。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.這里除了我以外沒有別人。

They had no other choice but to surrender. 他們別無選擇,只好投降。

but用作介詞時,后面還可接動詞原形。這種情況常出現在but前面出現實義動詞do / does / did作謂語或固定搭配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。

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.它把大量的堅果藏在樹里面。

a (large) quantity of修飾可數或不可數名詞均可,作主語時采取就近一致的原則,其謂語動詞通常與短語中of后面的名詞的數保持一致。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后跟復數名詞或不可數名詞構成的短語作主語時,謂語動詞通常用單數。例如:

The quantity of books in the library is amazing. 圖書館里的藏書數量驚人。

The quantity of heat in the office has not been increased. 辦公室里的熱量沒有增加。

(large) quantities of后跟復數名詞或不可數名詞構成的短語作主語時,謂語動詞通常用復數。例如:

Quantities of food (nuts) were on the table. 桌子上有許多食品(堅果)。
