Amount这词儿啊，说白了就是"数量"、"总额"的意思，表示某样东西的总数或者总量。
当动词用的时候呢，就是"总计"、"相当于"的意思，比如说"These expenses amount to 1000 yuan"就是"这些花费总计1000块钱"。
常见搭配有：
1. 一大笔/一小笔钱（a large/small amount of money）
2. 全额（the full amount）
3. 相当于/意味着（amount to something）
4. 再多...也...（no amount of... can...）
小贴士：amount一般跟不可数名词搭配，可数名词得用number。比如说"a large amount of water"是对的，但"a large amount of books"就不太地道啦！
