2025年高考cattle的用法
來(lái)源:網(wǎng)絡(luò)整理 2024-12-11 08:38:33
cattle是單數(shù)還是復(fù)數(shù)?英語(yǔ)可說(shuō)cattles嗎?請(qǐng)看下面一題:
In fact, _________ one cause that leads to the problem.
A. cattle is B. cattle are C. cattles are D. the cattles are
此題容易誤選A,想當(dāng)然地認(rèn)為cattle是單數(shù),并且空格有表單數(shù)的one,自然謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用is。其實(shí),正確答案為B。cattle為集合名詞,盡管它不帶復(fù)數(shù)詞尾-s,卻永遠(yuǎn)表示復(fù)數(shù)意義,若用作主語(yǔ),謂語(yǔ)要用復(fù)數(shù)。又如:
For this many cattle were killed. 為此宰了不少牲畜。
The prisoners were herded like cattle. 囚犯像牲口一樣被趕到一起。
類(lèi)似地,police,people,police,poultry等也具有同樣用法,即只有單數(shù)形式,但卻表示復(fù)數(shù)意義;用作主語(yǔ)時(shí)謂語(yǔ)通常也用復(fù)數(shù);不與 a 連用,但可與the連用。如:
The poultry have been fed. 家禽已經(jīng)喂過(guò)飼料了。
In Britain police do not usually carry guns. 在英國(guó)警察通常不帶槍。
It annoys me when people forget to say “thank you”. 遇到有人忘記道謝的時(shí)候,我就不痛快。
