職稱英語常用語法詳解3
發(fā)布者:重慶啟德雅思托福培訓機構
B. aren't many furnitures
C. hasn't much furniture
D. isn't enough furniture
解題思路:根據名詞數的概念A、B肯定錯,不必考慮;C、D的主要差異是"hasn't"與 "isn't", 句子中有there,說明該句是there be句型,故正確答案為D.題中staff, office 等詞與解題無關。
注意辨別句子中斜體詞的數及其意義:
There is still much room for improvement. (仍有許多改進的余地)
He has published two important papers on this subject. (他在這個課題上已發(fā)表了兩篇重要論文。)
3、以下名詞單復數同形:
means(手段) headquarters(司令部)
works(工廠) species(物種)
aircraft(飛機) Chinese(中國人)
sheep(羊) fish(魚)
中國的計量單位:li(里), yuan(元), mu(畝)等
實例:
Every means has been tried out, but without satisfactory results. (每個方法都試過了,但結果不令人滿意。)
4、形式上是復數的學科名稱,如physics , statistics, dynamics 作單數看待;時間、距離、鈔票、重量等復數,可以看作一個整體作單數處理,如:Two days is not enough for me to finish the task. (要我完成此項任務兩天是不夠的。)
5、名詞做另一名詞的修飾語:
一般用單數形式,如:a college student中的college 為單數形式。
注意:
?。?) 以下名詞做另一名詞修飾語時要用復數形式:sport → a sportsman (運動員)/ sale → a sales department(銷售部) / savings → a savings account (儲蓄存款)/ communication → a communications satellite (通訊衛(wèi)星) / greeting → a greetings cable(慰問電)
(2)不規(guī)則名詞修飾另一名詞時數的變化:a woman doctor (一個女醫(yī)
