詞語(yǔ)辨析:a variety of 與the variety of的區(qū)別
a variety of 意為“各種各樣的”，the variety of 意為“……的種類或多樣性”，兩者均可修飾可數(shù)或不可數(shù)名詞。如：

The variety of his writing was astonishing. 他作品的多種多樣令人驚訝。
The love of money produces an endless variety of misery. 貪財(cái)會(huì)引起無窮的不幸。
注意：the variety of后接復(fù)數(shù)名詞作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞要用單數(shù)；a variety of 后接復(fù)數(shù)名詞作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞原則上要用復(fù)數(shù)，但有時(shí)也可用單數(shù)。如：
