七、fruit的用法

fruit(水果)作为集合名词,它通常是不可数的: He doesn’t eat much fruit. 他不大吃水果。 He is growing fruit in the country. 他在乡下种水果。

Some fruits have thick skins. 有些水果皮很厚。

The potato is a vegetable, not a fruit. 豆是一种蔬菜,而不是一种水果。

汉语谓语动词因为没有单复数之分,所以我国学生在学习英语的集合名词时,常常为谓语动词的单复数问题大伤脑筋。笔者结合自己的教学经验,查阅了大量资料总结出几条规律,以飨读者。

一、某些有生命的集合名词(表示人或者动物),本身有单/复数之分。其为单数时,若作主语,则谓语可用单数/复数。主要依据说话者强调的重点而定,若强调许多个体,谓语用复数;若强调一个整体,则用单数。其为复数时,不言而喻,谓语必须用复数。注意:此类名词单复数的意义并不完全相同,汉译时一定要当心。如army(一国之军队),armies(多国部队);couple(一对夫妇),couples(多对夫妇);等。常见的此类集合名词有:armyassociationaudiencebandboardcastclanclasscliqueclubcollegecommitteecompanycommunitycongregation(教民,会众),council(市议会,理事会),couplecrewcrowdenemyfamilyfirmfleetflockfolkganggovernmentgroupjurykingdom mob(暴民,暴徒)navyoppositionorchestrapackpairpartypersonnelprofessionpopulationstaffschoolteamtribe(部落,部民), unionuniversity等。 1The staff isare hardworking 2The audience were moved to tears 3The lecturer draws large audiences 4The whole school was punished 5The class consists of 40 students 6This class are diligent

7The whole profession fight tooth andnail against it 8One tenth of the population of Egypt isare Christian

二、某些有生命的集合名词,本身无复数形式,作主语时,谓语通常用复数。常见的此类集合名词有:cattleclergyfaculty(教职工), herdmankindmilitarymilitia(民团、民兵), peoplepolicepoultry(家禽),swine(猪),verminwomankind等。 9There are three people waving at us 10The police haven't arrived yet 11There are verm in here

12Some people are never satisfied

13The policemilitary have surrounded the building

【注】people作民族讲时有复数形式。如: There are 56 peoples in China

三、某些有生命的集合名词,本身无复数形式,其后可跟单/复数谓语动词常见的此类集合名词有:aristocracybourgeoisie(资产阶级),churchelite(精英),gentryintelligentsia(知识分子),laity(外行),livestockmajorityminorityproletariat(无产阶级),offspringpublicswarmyouth等。


14The youth today is are better off than we used to be 15Her offspring is are like her in every respect 16The intelligentsia are hailing Ranson as their spokesman

【注】youth除了作集合名词以外,还可以作可数和不可数名词。如: Youth is the tim e for actionage is the tim e for repose Som e youths don't like jazz

四、某些表示国家、公司、机构、运动队等名称的专有名词也可当作集合名词使用,其后通常跟单/复数谓语动词。常见的此类集合名词有:ArsenalBBCCongressKrem lin LiverpoolMacm illanNetherlandsParliamentPentagonVatican(梵蒂冈),White House等。 17Arsenal is are playing well in this season 18Macmillan have has made a good profit this year 19The Seventy-First Congress was predominantly Republican 20The Netherlands has have a monarchy 21The BBC is showing the program on Saturday 22Liverpool is leading 10 23Liverpool are attacking again

五、某些无生命的集合名词(表示物)作主语时通常被看成不可数名词,谓语用单数常见的此类集合名词有:aircraftbaggage clothingcrockerycutlery(刀剪,餐具),equipmentfoliage(树叶),footwearfurnitureglasswarehardwarehosieryjewelleryluggagemachinerymerchandizepoetrypotterysilverwarestationeryunderclothingunderwearvegetationweaponry等。 24All the furniture in my room is new 25The merchandize has arrived undamaged 26There is not much vegetation in deserts 27The equipment for the factory hasbeen shipped 28Warm clothing is necessary in cold climates 29The machinery is driven by electrici-ty 【过关演练】用括号内动词的适当形式填空。
