用法

(1)释义1的majority时常以形容词great加强其语气:

The great majority approved the policy.

(大多数的人赞同该政策)

较随便的讲法时,亦用以指量,如:

We spent the majority of the day there.

(那天大部分的时间我们在那里度过)

但这句话一般的讲法是

We spent most [the greater part] of the day there.

如用作[大部分]解时,通常用

most (of)或the greater part (of),

而majority则用于含有与minority(少数(派))对立的观念时为宜。

(2)释义3的majority只有与其他多数派比较之下,表示彼此数量的大小时,才与形容词great, greater, greatest连用。

(3)定义3的majority用以加强语气时,可随意地与great, greater, greatest连用:

Mr. Smith was elected by the greatest majority.

(史密斯先生以最高票差当选)。
