umpteen

釋義：“不少”，絕大多數(shù)情況下指的是一個不知道精確值，但估計在10到20之間的數(shù)量，本身是作為一個數(shù)量詞使用。對應(yīng)的序數(shù)詞是umpteenth。

例句：
If I'm spending umpteen dollars on a little plant like this, am I going to get enough tomatoes out of it to make it cost effective?
There are umpteen examples of revisionist historians employing documents out of context, citing them only in part, or ignoring or omitting evidence contrary to their theses.

There is a great deal of difference between an eager man who wants to read a book and the tired man who wants a book to read.

---G.K. Chesterton
