用法
(1)When majority refers to a particular number of votes, it takes a singular verb:
當majority 指特定的選票數目時， 其動詞用單數：
Her majority was five votes.
她的票數是五票。
His majority has been growing by 5 percent every year.
他的票數正以每年5%的速度增長。
(2)When it refers to a group of persons or things that are in the majority, it may take either a singular or plural verb, depending on whether the group is considered as a whole or as a set of people considered individually. So we say The majority elects (not elect ) the candidate it wants (not they want ), since the election is accomplished by the group as a whole; but The majority of the voters live (not lives ) in the city, since living in the city is something that each voter does individually. · Majority is often preceded by great (but not by greater ) in expressing emphatically the sense of 「most of」:
當它是指處於多數地位的一組人或事物時，其動詞既可以用單數也可以用複數，取決於把這個集體當作一個整體來看待還是當作個別的人的組合。所以我們說大多數人選舉了 （不用 elect ) 他們所想要的候選人 （不用 they want )， 因為選舉是由一個作為整體的群體所完成的；但是大多數投票者住在 （不用 lives ) 市區， 因為住在城市裡是每個投票人作為個人所做的事情。Majority 的前面往往加一個 great （但是不加 greater )， 用來強調指出「大多數」的含義：
The great majority approved.
絕大多數同意了。
(3)The phrase greater majority is appropriate only when considering two majorities:
詞組greater majority 只是在兩個多數作比較時才適用：
He won by a greater majority in this election than in the last.
他比上一次贏得更多數的選票
