Sonnet 130

My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;

Coral is far more red than her lips' red;
If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;

If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.

I have seen roses damask'd, red and white,

But no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And in some perfumes is there more delight

Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks.

I love to hear her speak, yet well I know

That music hath a far more pleasing sound;
I grant I never saw a goddess go;

My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground.

And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare

As any she belied with false compare.

——William Shakespeare

主谓一致是一个很容易弄错的问题，有时候连母语人士也会搞错，比如The Economist最近有一个句子：

For America’s indefatigable consumers, and for its workers, the good news is that competition—combined with an almighty shock—have led to a more innovative industry, rather than the end of the world.

句子主干相当于the good news is that competition have led to... 这里have应该改为has，不然就出现了主谓不一致问题。

麦克米伦词典里面有一个例句也可以佐证：

Her intelligence, coupled with her experience, makes her a perfect candidate for the job.
