  第二部分:不规则变化

  我们经常会看到有些名词变复数时并没有遵循上述规则。这就是名词的不规则变化。还有一些名词,单复数是同一个形式的。不过,我们还是可以通过一些比较,发现其中的一些奥妙。以下我将为大家讲讲名词的不规则变化。

  一、有些名词中保存了英语中古旧的复数形式,如:

  man-men         woman-women

  tooth-teeth        foot-feet

  child-children     goose-geese

  mouse-mice       ox-oxen

  二、有些是外来词,仍保有原来的复数形式,如:

  Phenomenon-phenomena(现象)

  Formula-formulae(公式)

  Thesis-theses(论文)

  Basis-bases(基础)

  Analysis-analyses(分析)

  Criterion-criteria(标准)

  Crisis-crises(危机)

  Appendix-appendices(附录)

  三、部分单词的复数形式不变。

  例:fish→fish; sheep→sheep; cattle→cattle; deer→deer; salmon→salmon, means→means

  四、compound nouns,这类复数词是以主要的名词来表示

  例:daughter-in-law→daughters-in-law 媳妇; father-in-law→fathers-in-law岳父  

  man-of-war→men-of-war兵舰; maid-servant→maid-servants  

  step-son→step-sons晚子; son-in-law→sons-in-law。

  但是,也有些合成名词,特别是由man和woman构成的合成名词,里面所含的成分,全都要变为复数,如:

  Man-servant-men-servants,woman doctor-women doctors等

  五、有些名词经常是带着-s词尾的,但通常都作单数看待,如:

  Phonetics(语音学),physics(物理学),optics(光学),politics(政治),news(新闻)等。

  六、另一些名词则以复数词出现的机会较多

  例:bellows风箱; clothes; police; shorts短裤; scissors剪刀; spectacles眼镜; shears大剪刀,trousers长裤,wages工资,belongings所有物, surroundings环境,savings储蓄,findings调查结果,arms武器,clothes衣服,stairs楼梯,等

  七、另外还有一些名词,其复数形式有时可表示特别意思,

  例:goods货物,waters水域,fishes(各种)鱼,papers文件,证件,greens青菜,manners礼貌,ruins废墟,troops军队,looks外貌,times时代,等

  第三部分:不可数名词的计量方法

  (1)一般用“数字+of+计量单位+名词”表示,(注意:当数字大于一时,表示计量单位的名词可以有复数形式)。如:

  a piece of news 一则新闻  a piece of meat 一块肉 a glass of wine一杯酒 two bowls of rice  两碗米 a sum of money 一笔钱 five bags of flour 一袋面粉 a drop of water 一滴水 three bottles of milk 三瓶牛奶 two pieces of advice 两条建议

  (2)用much/some/ a little/ little/ a lot of/ plenty of+不可数名词
