 abun·dance /əˈbʌndən(t)s/
 大量,豐富,充裕

 A·bun·dance n.  An overflowing fullness; ample sufficiency; great plenty; profusion; copious supply; superfluity; wealth: -- strictly applicable to quantity only, but sometimes used of number.
    It is lamentable to remember what abundance of noble blood hath been shed with small benefit to the Christian state.   --Raleigh.
 Syn: -- Exuberance; plenteousness; plenty; copiousness; overflow; riches; affluence; wealth.
 Usage: -- Abundance, Plenty, Exuberance. These words rise upon each other in expressing the idea of fullness. Plenty denotes a sufficiency to supply every want; as, plenty of food, plenty of money, etc. Abundance express more, and gives the idea of superfluity or excess; as, abundance of riches, an abundance of wit and humor; often, however, it only denotes plenty in a high degree. Exuberance rises still higher, and implies a bursting forth on every side, producing great superfluity or redundance; as, an exuberance of mirth, an exuberance of animal spirits, etc.
