英語中表示表示月份的名詞可數(shù)嗎
英語中表示月份的名詞包括January, February, March, April等,它們均為專有名詞,原則上不可數(shù)。如:
I’ll be twenty-four in May. 到5月份我就24歲了。
February is the second month of the year. 二月是一年的第二個月份。
We’ve had to put our wedding off until September. 我們得把婚禮延期到9月舉行。
但是,當月份名詞受描繪性定語修飾并且不需特指時,其前通常要用不定冠詞。如:
We’re having a very wet April. 今年4月雨水可真多。
另外,有時可用復數(shù)形式,表示幾個或多個。如:
The last two Augusts have been very dry. 最近兩年的八月天氣都很午燥。
We’ve had two very cold Januarys in a row. 我們連續(xù)度過了兩個非常寒冷的一月。
The last two Mays have been cold and rainy. 過去這兩年的五月份一直寒冷多雨。
We have had snowstorms the last few Aprils. 這幾年的四月份我們這里都有暴風雪。
The weather has been very mild during the past two Septembers. 這兩年九月份的氣候都很宜人。
Sales are up (for) this November in comparison with the previous two Novembers. 今年11月的銷售量比前兩年同期有所提高。
