老师答疑
刘老师：
As one of Britain's largest winnings, Nigel Page and Justine Laycock got their ￡56 million ______ on Saturday.
我认为，此题答案应为 prize，而非 money。
从逻辑上讲，money 本身就是“钱”，其定语不应再使用“具体的钱”修饰。不说：$ one thousand money, ￡56 million money，￥100 money。而 prize 是“奖项”，虽然也是“奖金”，但它是一种奖励形式，可以用“具体的钱”修饰，说明奖金的具体数目。例如：

支持，money 更多是指概念，很少和具体的数量放在一起。
