Y) G6 k+ B' @9 s, w* ~$ WFish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。 # C& t" l( p" D) C# O' r% tFish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), 1 s; e' Q/ l8 y1 [: f2 u2 R5 v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。 0 l* k! x" N" z" j2 h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。: R) r( D5 w3 ^- T( _+ G- Q6 }- ]# o
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 7 B6 m, T5 c& N& t8 w7 i G
