An estimated 13,400 consumers sought hospital treatment in 2005 for a nail-gun injury, up from 4,200 in 1991, the report found.
請問
上句話為何會有an?
13,400 consumers不是複數嗎？
謝謝

An estimated 13,400 consumers sought hospital treatment in 2005 for a nail-gun injury, up from 4,200 in 1991, the report found.
這句話是一個精簡版.
原版的句子是這樣的:
An estimated number of 13,400 consumers sought hospital treatment in 2005 for a nail-gun injury, up from 4,200 in 1991, the report found.
至於母音之前的冠詞要用an, 我想版主應該原本就知道了吧.

An estimated 是指一個預估值
13,400 consumers是用來註解這個預估值
所以 estimated 前面還是得用單數
再來 estimated 中的 e 是母音
所以要用 an

有An是因為後面接的是estimated母音發音的字母
事實上An是給treatment用的......

所指的是13,400 consumers這個數值的意義
而不是指這些人
