For a long time people believed that the only way to learn a language was to spend a great deal of time in a country where it was spoken. Translate this part into Chinese:有很长一段时间，人们认为要学好一门语言，只有去使用那种语言的国家待上一段时间 a great deal可单独使用，也可以用在形容词或副词的比较级前，表示“大量；许多”； a great deal of只能用在不可数名词前，表示“大量的”。 如： We learned a great deal from them. ?我们从他们那里学到很多东西。?He ran a great deal faster than I. 他跑得比我快多了。?He has given me a great deal of help. 他给了我很多帮助 [拓展] 英语中有很多短语表示“大量；许多”，根据性质可分为以下三类：修饰可数名词的有：a good / great many, a large / great number of等，谓语动词用复数形式。如： A great / good many words and expressions have come into the language from American English. 这门语言吸收了美国英语中的许多单词和短语。修饰不可数名词的有：a large amount of, a great dear of等，谓语动词用单数形式。如： He has spent a large amount of money on his new house.他在新房子上花费了许多钱。 既能修饰可数名词，又能修饰不可数名词的有：a lot of, lots of, plenty of, some, a quantity of , quantities of等，谓语动词根据被修饰的名词是可数还是不可数来决定单复数形式。如： There are a lot of / lots of people in that room. 那个房间里有许多人。  Of course it is clear that students who go to England to learn English have a great advantage over others, but a larger number of students cannot afford to do so.
