析:当dozen, hundred, thousand等词的前面没有数词,表示笼统的数目时,则用复数形式,后面接of,如:
Thousands of years ago, the kings of Egypt built strong tombs for themselves.
5. 她长着棕色头发,蓝眼睛。
误:She has brown hairs and blue eyes.
正:She has brown hair and blue eyes.
析:hair作毛发总称,是集体名词,用作单数。但是,当hair被看成是毛发总体的每一根的个体时,则是可数名词,有单数复数之分。比较:
My mother has grey hair
我母亲满头白发。(头上全是白发,没有黑发)
My mother has grey hairs.
我母亲有些白发。(头发绝大多数是黑的,只有少数白发)
6. 这些是绵羊,那些是山羊。
误:These are sheeps. Those are goats.
误:These are sheep. Those are goats.
析:sheep作绵羊解,单复数相同,经常用到的单复数相同的名词还有(鱼条数),(鹿),(中国人),(日本人)等。如:
But there were not any fish in it.
但是里面没有鱼。
The number of deer does not change much.
鹿的数量没有多大改变。
