several的用法详解
众所周知，several是一个习惯用语中的重要成分，它的意思是“几个、若干”，在英语中多用作形容词。一般来说，several通常用于修饰可数名词，它表示超过两个但少于许多的数量，具体多少可以根据上下文来判断。
例句1：I have read several books about astronomy this month.
译文：本月我已经读了几本关于天文学的书。
例句2：We are going to discuss several topics during the meeting.
译文：在会议上我们将讨论几个话题。
例句3：The patient has several diseases.
译文：这个病人有好几种疾病。
例句4：He has several friends in the neighbourhood.
译文：他在附近有好几个朋友。
最后，several通常可与a few、many、a lot of、a great number of比较，表示“几个”的含义，但a few强调少数，many强调较多，而several强调超过两个数量，较多但又不是很多。
