2 Joseph19969 2011-08-03 07:58 | 回复 对1楼进行说明: 在BrE中,有些单数名词(或可数名词的单数形式)也可以和复数动词连用,这类词往往是人的集体(例如family、team、committee)、机构或地点等,既可视为一个整体,也可视为许多个体。 在AmE中,这类名词后面必须接单数动词……
3 Joseph19969 2011-08-03 08:00 | 回复 不过呢,实际使用时: BrE中习惯运动队后面接复数名词,例如Norwich were disappointed with the score.
4 Joseph19969 2011-08-03 08:03 | 回复 做运动:BrE——do sport AmE——play sports 运动:BrE——sport AmE——sports
5 Joseph19969 2011-08-03 08:13 | 回复 我查了,fit(身体健康)是BrE,physically fit和in shape才是AmE。 保持健康:BrE------keep fit,AmE------stay in shape backache、stomach ache、toothache、earache在BrE为不可数名词,在AmE为可数名词。 发烧:BrE------get a temperature AmE------have a fever 身体不适:BrE------be (taken) ill/feel unwell,AmE------be/get sick 感觉恶心:BrE------feel sick,AmE------sick to your stomach
6 Joseph19969 2011-08-03 08:14 | 回复 be taken ill是“突然病了”,be ill纯粹指代“病了”……
7 Joseph19969 2011-08-03 08:18 | 回复 另外我要打破一个传统观念:不可数名词后面接单数动词。 事实上,whereabouts(行踪)、scampi(炸大虾)、headquarters(总部)、personnel(全体人员、人事部门……)这几个不可数名词后面也可以接复数动词。
