vocabulary扩展 The word million comes from the Italian milione, which literally means "a great thousand.” It’s great to have a thousand, but it’s awesome to have a million! A million is a big number but not so big that you don't see it used frequently. In fact, being a millionaire isn’t even a big deal anymore. An online video might be watched by a million viewers, and there are millions of people in big cities like New York City and Chicago.
柯林斯解释
The plural form is million after a number, or after a word or expression referring to a number, such as ‘several’ or ‘a few’. 在数字或several, a few等表示数字的词或短语后,复数形式为million。
