2. 集体名词的单复数
集体名词有时可以做单数看,有时做复数看。集合名词被视为整体的时候作单数看,突出成员的时候作复数看。一般情况下,集体名词单复数动词都可以用,区别不大。但是,也有特殊情况
特殊情况
(1) 形式为单数,但意义可以用为单数或复数
这类集合名词包括 family(家庭 ),team(队),class(班),audience(听众 )等,其用法特点为:若视为整体,表示单数意义;若考虑其个体成员,表示复数意义。
His family is large. 他的家是个大家庭。
His family are all waiting for him. 他的一家人都在等他。
This class consists of 45 pupils. 这个班由45个学生组成。
This class are reading English now. 这个班的学生在读英语。
(2) 形式为单数,但意义永远为复数
这类集合名词包括 cattle(牛,牲畜 ),people(人),police(警察 )等,其用法特点为:只有单数形式 , 但却表示复数意义,用作主语时谓语用复数;不与a(n) 连用,但可与the 连用 (表示总括意义和特指 )。
People will laugh at you.
The police are looking for him.
Many cattle were killed for this.
(3) 形式为复数,意义也为复数
这类集合名词包括 goods(货物 ) clothes(衣服 )等。
其用法特点是:只有复数形式 (表示复数意义 ,用作主语时谓语也用复数 ),但通常不与数词连用。
Clothes dry slowly in the rainy season.
Such clothes are very expensive.
If goods are not well made you should complain to the manufacturer.
(4) 形式为单数,意义也为单数
这类集合名词包括 baggage / luggage(行李 ), clothing( 衣服 ), furniture( 家具 ), machinery(机器 ), poetry( 诗), scenery(风景 ), jewelry(珠宝 ), equipment(设备 )等,
其用法特点为:
是不可数名词,只用单数形式,不用不定冠词 (当然更不能用数词 ),没有复数形式。
Have you checked all your baggage?
All her jewellery was stolen by thieves
New equipment is urgently needed.
All the furniture was made of wood.
Her poetry has a good deal of political content.
注:machinery, poetry, jewelry, scenery 等相应的个体可数名词是
machine, poem, jewel, scene 等.
a poem / a piece of poetry 一首诗
many machines / much machinery / many pieces of machinery 许多机器
(5) 补充几个比较特殊的情况
① hair(头发,毛发 )
指全部头发或毛发时,为集合名词 (不可数 );指几根头发或毛发时,为个体名词 (可数 )。
My hair has grown very long.
The police found two hairs there.
② mankind(人类 ):
是一个不可数的集合名词,不用复数形式,也不连用冠词 .
This is an invention that benefits mankind. 这是一项造福人类的发明 .
Mankind has its own problems. 人类有自己的问题 .
注: mankind 表示“ 人(类)” 时, 虽不可数 ,但有时却可以表示复数意义 ,尤其是当其表语是复数时 .
Mankind are intelligent animals. 人是理智的动物 .
③ fruit(水果 ):
作为集合名词 ,它通常是不可数的 .
He doesn’t eat much fruit.
He is growing fruit in the country.
但是,当要表示种类时,它可视为可数名词,即 a fruit 指一种水果,fruits 指多种水果。比较:
Some fruits have thick skins.
The potato is a vegetable, not a fruit.
3. 名词单数变复数的不规则变化
(1)元音变化:
a变e:man→men ;woman→women
oo变ee: foot→feet ;tooth→teeth ;goose→geese
ou变i:mouse→mice;louse→lice 虱子 (结尾se变成ce)
(2)单、复数词形相同的词 sheep→sheep; deer→ deer; fish→fish;
(3)末尾加en: child→ children; ox→ oxen
(4) 各国人的复数变化:
① 单复数一致:Chinese,Japanese,Swiss(瑞士人,瑞士的)
②Englishman→Englishmen,Frenchman→Frenchmen,
或 English、French保持单复不变;
③直接加“s”; Australian→Australians German→Germans
Greek→Greeks希腊人 American→Americans
口诀“中日瑞不变,英法变中间,其他s加后边”
(5)由man, woman 构成的合成名词,变复数时将名词及man, woman都变成复数。
man driver→men drivers;
woman teacher→women teachers
但其他合成名词,只要把合成名词中的中心词 变为复数形式。
a banana tree→banana trees;
a shoe factory→shoe factories
3. 不可数名词的数
不可数名词所表示的事物一般不能用数来计算,没有词形变化,只能借助数词和量词来表示一定的数量,这类词主要为抽象名词和物质名词。
(1)表不确定数量时,一般用much,(a)little, a lot of/lots of, some, any等词修饰。
I don't have much money with me.
We do not have any more information at the present time.
