英语名词复数的思维规律,及与汉语名词复数的区别
名词的可数与不可数这一区分反映了中国人与英美人在看待客观物质世界时所持的两种不同的世界观。在本栏目接下来的几期内容中,笔者就要和大家一
起来探讨“老外”看待物质世界的四大思维规律
,帮助大家从英语思维的高度来理
解并区分英文名词的可数与不可数。下面笔者首先来分析第一个规律:不可分隔
的物质与可分隔的个体物品。该规律包含四个方面的内容,本期先着重讨论第一、
二方面的内容。
物质名词表示个体物品时转化为可数名词在英文中,一个名词若表示无法分隔的物质,或者说被分隔之后各个部分与原
先整体没有本质差别,我们就无法用数目来计量它
,只能将其看作一个整体
,此时
周瑜和诸葛亮该名词是不可数名词。但如果在特定的语境中
,这个名词表示能够分隔的个体物
品,则转为可数名词。比如说我们每时每刻都需要呼吸的
“空气”(air),是无法被分隔
下雨天作文
成个体的,或者说被分隔之后的各个部分的空气与原先整体的空气没有本质差别,
依然还是空气,我们无法用数目1、2、3等来计量它,因而air 表示“空气”时是不可
表示动作状态的单位词
fit (如活动、笑、咳嗽等的
)
一阵)
, peal ( (声音大而持续或重复的)洪
亮的响声;隆隆声,如钟声,雷声等), flash, display (展示,显示,展览,陈列等),等,通常只限于某些固定搭配:
A fit of anger/coughing/laughter/fever A peal of applau/ laughter/ thunder A flash of hope/ light/ lighting
A display of courage/ force/ power/ skill/ fireworks
表示成双、成组、成群的单位词
pair, group, flock(畜群, 鸟群), herd(兽群, 牧群), litter(一窝), swarm, bench, troupe(剧团, 艺术团体), pack(一群; 一伙; 一堆,一组;一套;一伙), shoal(鱼群,一大群鱼), school( 群)等,只限于某些固定搭配---a pair of shoes, a flock of birds/chickens, a herd of elephants, a litter of kittens(小猫),    a swarm of bees/flies/incts, a  shoal of fish, a school of whales, a group of people, a bench of judges, a troupe of actors, a gang of hooligans(小流氓, 街头恶棍)/criminals(罪犯), a pack of hounds, a team of players, a fleet of ships, a cluster of hous, a collection(作品集) of paintings/poems, a staf
f of employees(全体职员; 教职员,大、中、小学的)管理人员,行政人员,辅助机构(或咨询机构等)的工作人员), a crowd of people, a grove (树丛, 小树林)of trees, a suite of rooms, a band(乐队, 乐团,一群, 一伙) of musicians, a library(系列丛书(或磁带等),(书、激光唱片等的)个人收藏,图书馆) of books, a squadron(中队) of aircraft
