在前三期(4月11日)里,谈到不可数名词是没有复数形式的,但是常常有人不小心,在某些不可数名词上加-s而犯错,其中 experience, equipment, evidence, information这几个的错误最多。 下面一家装修商广告中的experiences(经验)便是一例: our many years of reputable experiences. 须知,当经验解时,experience是不可数名词,不可以有-s:our many years of reputable experience(许多年声誉卓著的装修经验)。当各种各样不同经历解时, experience是可数名词,可以有复数-s的符号,如: Tom could not forget his thrilling experiences in his first trip to Guilin. 学生作业中,类似的错误也不少,如: ① A lot of factors led to students poor performances. (应为 performance) ② Only people of irreproachable characters can aspire to be good leaders.(应为 character) ③ More and more institutions resort to advanced equipments to assist in the education process.(应为 equipment) ④ Without such knowledges, one would not be able to understand what was seen or heard. (应为 knowledge) ⑤ There is still much room for further improvements.(应为 improvement) 上述这些不可数名词的错误,是不是很熟悉呢? |
