常见错误：
Learners sometimes confuse "mound" with "mount". "Mound" is a noun (and verb) meaning a small hill or pile, while "mount" is usually a verb meaning to climb or to fix something onto something else, or a noun used mainly in names of mountains (e.g., Mount Fuji). Learners also sometimes use "mount" when they want to say "a pile of"; in that case, "mound" or more commonly "pile" is correct.
含义

Learners sometimes say *"many mounds of work"* when they just mean a lot of work. In everyday speech, people usually say "mounds of work" or simply "a lot of work". Learners may also overuse the singular "a mound of" for this figurative sense; for a strong meaning of "a very large amount", the plural "mounds of" is more typical in modern English.
含义
a very large amount
搭配
mounds of money
|mounds of work
|mounds of paperwork
|mounds of data
