15. 此洞深三米。
正:The hole is three metres deep.
誤:The hole is three metre deep.
析:名詞短語threemetres用作狀語修飾形容詞deep,數(shù)次后面表示度量的名詞按習慣用復數(shù)形式。如:
It is nearly 5000 years old.
但是,當數(shù)詞+度量詞+形容詞組成一個合成詞,放在里一個名詞前作定語時,那個表示度量的名詞習慣上用單數(shù)。如:a six-metre-deep-hole一個六米深的洞,aten-story-high-building一棟十層高的樓房。
16. 王宏和馬國都是男老師。
正:Wang Hongand Ma Guo are men teachers.
誤:Wang Hongand Ma Guo are man teachers.
析:man和woman 用作定語時,表示性別其單數(shù)形式修飾單數(shù)可數(shù)名詞,復數(shù)形式修飾復數(shù)可數(shù)名詞。如:a man doctor一位男醫(yī)生,three men doctors三位男醫(yī)生,a woman nurse一位女護士,three women nurses三位女護士。
17. 螞蟻身體里有兩個胃。
正:The ant hastwo stomachs in its body.
誤:The ant hastwo stomaches in its body.
析: stomach雖然是以ch 結尾,但其復數(shù)形式不加es,而直接加s。而遵守名詞變復數(shù)的規(guī)則的則要加es.如:branch—branches樹枝, bench—benches長凳, watch—watches手表。
18. 我到那里用了一個半小時。
正:It took meone and a half hours to get there.
誤:It took meone and a half hour to get there.
析:英語中多于一個,即使不夠二,也要用復數(shù)。如:one and a half years一年半。
