網友評論: 1 Joseph19969 2011-07-30 14:03 | 回復 還有: BrE:The committee meet(s) tomorrow. AmE:The committee meets tomorrow.
2 Joseph19969 2011-08-03 07:58 | 回復 對1樓進行說明: 在BrE中,有些單數名詞(或可數名詞的單數形式)也可以和複數動詞連用,這類詞往往是人的集體(例如family、team、committee)、機構或地點等,既可視為一個整體,也可視為許多個體。 在AmE中,這類名詞後面必須接單數動詞……
3 Joseph19969 2011-08-03 08:00 | 回復 不過呢,實際使用時: BrE中習慣運動隊後面接複數名詞,例如Norwich were disappointed with the score.
4 Joseph19969 2011-08-03 08:03 | 回復 做運動:BrE——do sport AmE——play sports 運動:BrE——sport AmE——sports
5 Joseph19969 2011-08-03 08:13 | 回復 我查了,fit(身體健康)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為不可數名詞,在AmE為可數名詞。 發燒:BrE------get a temperature AmE------have a fever 身體不適:BrE------be (taken) ill/feel unwell,AmE------be/get sick 感覺噁心:BrE------feel sick,AmE------sick to your stomach
6 Joseph19969 2011-08-03 08:14 | 回復 be taken ill是「突然病了」,be ill純粹指代「病了」……
7 Joseph19969 2011-08-03 08:18 | 回復 另外我要打破一個傳統觀念:不可數名詞後面接單數動詞。 事實上,whereabouts(行蹤)、scampi(炸大蝦)、headquarters(總部)、personnel(全體人員、人事部門……)這幾個不可數名詞後面也可以接複數動詞。
