最近大量成功人士包括妇老幼加入冰钓活动,那就得谈谈fish这个词- ?& |: G$ h' d V6 o
Fish确实是可数名词,又是不可数名词。更特殊的是它的复数形式并非我们认为的那样。 R. l+ P4 Q& o1 m2 HFish作为食物原料来讲的时候,是不可数名词。我们i说I ate an apple 但是不说 I ate a fish(不知道在猫的语言里是不是这样讲), & r8 r( d* \2 Q. y) P1 ]说I like seafood and I can eat a whole fish for dinner.还差不多, 通常就说 fish。这时候就是不可数的。 + L/ O+ a/ d g& c7 V! X我们去钓鱼的时候,fish就是可数的了,但是记住,你钓了几条?one fish, two fish,都是fish,而不是 two fishes。# E" `2 I, Z* s
难道fish的复数就是fish本身吗。也是也不是。同一种Fish的复数就是fish,fishes是用在不同种类的fish时候 9 k2 V, k# }% d- _1 O' G* i) h* o1 ?* l+ e) u$ n

According to the Oxford Dictionary, both fish and fishes can be used as the plural form, but fish is more common. ' q8 b( |: y( `4 S# U 7 n: s8 m/ ]) Z; {2 [We use fishes when talking about different types of fish. For example, I caught five fish today and they were different fishes. * }' r( J- c0 O$ p5 U! @# {2 @$ f8 v6 A
Fish is uncountable when we talk about the meat of fish. For instance, I want to have fish for supper.
