有位坛友发了一个帖子“看到一个 a+复数 的句子,有点不解” (https://www.pdawiki.com/forum/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=31035&pid=1019424&page=1&extra=),“will be taking an incredible three and a half strideS per second”。已经在原贴下作了解答,因为这个现象与一般的语法教材的说法相悖(未讨论到),但又常可发现,故此专发一贴,以资参考。

意义:这种用法多多少少有强调、惊叹的意思。强调、惊叹的意思表现在那个形容词上面,而强调、惊叹的原因是那个数字,或数字与名词之间的形容词。
