Question

considerable 可以加可数名词吗 比如 considerable apples

Answer 1

Considerable牛津词典里给出的解释是：great in amount ,size ,importance ,etc.而科林斯词典中给出的解释是Something that is considerable is large in amount or degree.不难发现considerable能用来形容数量,大小和程度.所以你可以说 the number of apples is considerable.但没有什么程度可言的单词如apple就无法用了,当然以上是取了considerable：相当大（多）的意思,
p.s.
considerable 还有“重要的,重大的意思 ”如：“a considerable man in the scientific world (科学界的名人）”或“a considerable achiement重大成就"
说了这么多不知道帮到你没,多多体会语境,至少considerable apples 是行不通的
