There are many thousands of them.这里有个many那么thousands不是应该不加-S吗?就像这句;there used to be twenty million of them.million就没有加-S啊. 为什么?

thousands of是表示 数千的...(主要是形容东西,事物很多,数以千计)它已经不是确切的要表示“千”的意思了,若果是表示量词,比如一千(one thousand/a thousand,两千two thousand)就不用加s
而twenty million是表示 两千万是一个量词

也就是说,当表示量词的时候要加s,否则不用

thousands of: 数千的...
