tear可用复数吗

题目

tear可用复数吗

答案

tear 是可数名词还是不可数名词?它应该用单数tear还是用复数tears?许多英语初学者认为,“眼泪”(tear) 就是“泪水”,而“泪水”(tear) 其实就是一种“水”,所以它应该是不可数的,只能用单数形式,不应该用复数形式.其实,错了!在英语中,tear是一个典型的可数名词,而且通常使用复数形式.如：She couldn’t keep back her tears.她忍不住哭了.Tears ran down her face.眼泪顺着她的脸流了下来.The sight affected her to tears.此情此景使她感动得流泪.Hearing the news,she broke into tears.听到这个消息,她就哭了起来.其实,tear不仅可用复数,而且还可连用不定冠词,甚至连用数词,如说one tear,two tears,three tears,four tears,five tears等.如：A tear rolled down his cheek.一滴泪珠沿着他的面颊流下来.Her head sank down and two great tears fell on his hand.她低下头,两滴大泪珠落到了他手上.有时还可与a few,some,many等连用,即说 a few tears,some tears,many tears等.如：How many tears have I cried over you?引用地址:
