1. 我們是法國人,他們是德國人。
誤:We are Frenchmen, and they are Germen.
正:We are Frenchmen, and they are Germans.
析:Frenchman(法國人)其復數形式是Frenchmen,而German(德國人)的復數形式是Germans。
2.王教授給我提了一些好建議。
誤:Professor Wang gave me some good advices.
正:Professor Wang gave me some good advice.
析:advice是不可數名詞,不可在其后加s變?yōu)閺蛿,也不可在其前面用不定冠詞an。如說“一項建議”,可說a piece of advice.
注意:help雖然無復數形式,但常見有不定冠詞。如:Computer is a great help in research.
3. 我們學校有九百多孩子。
誤:There are more than nine hundreds students in our school.
正:There are more than nine hundred students in our school.
析:dozen,hundred, thousand等詞前面有數詞表示明確具體的數目時,后面不管有沒有of都不用復數形式。如:
I have collected over three hundred Chinese stamps since I came here.
4. 昨天她買了幾十個雞蛋。
誤:She bought dozen of eggs yesterday.
正:She bought dozens of eggs yesterday.
析:當dozen, hundred, thousand等詞的前面沒有數詞,表示籠統(tǒng)的數目時,則用復數形式,后面接of,如:
Thousands of years ago, the kings of Egypt built strong tombs for themselves.
5. 她長著棕色頭發(fā),藍眼睛。
誤:She has brown hairs and blue eyes.
正:She has brown hair and blue eyes.
析:hair作“毛發(fā)”總稱,是集體名詞,用作單數。但是,當hair被看成是“毛發(fā)”總體的每一根的個體時,則是可數名詞,有單數復數之分。比較:
My mother has grey hair
我母親滿頭白發(fā)。(頭上全是白發(fā),沒有黑發(fā))
My mother has grey hairs.
我母親有些白發(fā)。(頭發(fā)絕大多數是黑的,只有少數白發(fā))
