dozens

dozens of這個短語是屬於可數名詞，dozens of的意思是幾十；很多等等。dozens of後可以接可數名詞的複數形式，但是of不能省去。例句：Dozens of people have been injured and many vehicles set on fire。

Dozens of servants had catered to his every whim.

幾十個僕人迎合他所有稀奇古怪的念頭。

Dozens of miles of railway track have been torn up

好幾十英里的鐵軌被毀壞了。

Dozens of reporters camped out on her doorstep.

許多記者在她家門口露宿。

當dozen與具體數字連用時，既不加複數詞尾-s，也不後接介詞of。當dozen不與具體數字連用，而是表示不確定的泛指數時，則不僅要加複數詞尾-s，而且要後接介詞of，此時可將dozens of(許多，幾十)視為習語。
