(2)不可數(shù)名詞與量詞
雖然我們不能用具體數(shù)字(比如one,two,three,four等)來表示不可數(shù)名詞的數(shù)量,但我們可以借用量詞來表示其量的概念。不同類型的不可數(shù)名詞所使用的量詞也不一樣,一般規(guī)則如下:
1)常用piece修飾以下抽象名詞和物質(zhì)名詞
advice bread baggage chalk equipment furniture
information jewelry luggage music news
例如:
a piece of news two pieces of news
several pieces of furniture three pieces of luggage
2)用bottle,cup,drop,glass修飾液態(tài)物質(zhì):
beer blood coffee milk tea water wine
例如:
several drops of blood a glass of milk two cups of coffee
3)其他的量詞:
a loaf of bread a tube of toothpaste a slice of meat
