Remember from Lesson 20, uncountable nouns cannot be counted as separate objects. 请记住,在第20课中,不可数名词不能算作单独的对象。
For example, you cannot say "I had 5 homeworks" or "We need 3 lucks". 例如,您不能说“我有5个作业”或“我需要3个小袋”。
Instead, you might say "I had homework 5 nights last week" and "We shall need luck in the next 3 games". 相反,您可能会说“我上周有5个晚上的作业”和“接下来的3场比赛我们需要运气”。
Here are some common uncountable nouns. We say that they are "generally" uncountable because some of them may have homographs that are countable. 这是一些常见的不可数名词。 我们说它们“通常”是不可数的,因为其中一些可能具有可数的同形异义词。
For example, "bail" is payment made by an accused criminal to stay out of jail until the trial, and is uncountable. But a "bail" is also a part of the stumps in a cricket match, and is countable. 例如,“保释金”是指被指控的罪犯为在审判前一直不入狱而支付的款项,并且是不可数的。 但是“保释金”也是板球比赛中树桩的一部分,并且是可数的。 |
