  [误]My mother bought two fishes for supper this morning.

  [正]My mother bought two fish for supper this morning.

  [析]英语中有些名词单复同形,如:fish, deer, sheep, Chinese (中国人), means (方法)。所以应讲one fish, two fish, one Chinese, two Chinese. 如果讲There are five fishes in the pool.应译为池中有五种鱼而不是五条鱼。

  [误]Mary expressed her thank to her boy friend.

  [正]Mary expressed her thanks to her boy friend.

  [析]英语中有些名词只有复数形式,如: thanks, greens, 而有些词单数形式与复数形式有不同的词意。如:clothes 为衣服,而cloth则是布, sand沙子,而sands是沙滩。

  [误]I offered my son my congratulation on his success.

  [正]I offered my son my congratulations on his success.

  [析]英语中表示祝贺的词虽有单数形式,但一般要用其复数形式。如握手为shake hands.

  [误]We have five German in this meeting.

  [正]We have five Germans in this meeting.

  [析]英国人Englishman的复数形式为Englishmen,而German 则要加s,因为它不是由国名与man的组合词。

  [误]There are two As in this word.

  [正]There are two A's in this word.

  [析]在大写字母缩写形式的复数表达法中应加s,但如字母是A、I时,为了防止与As和Is相混,则要用's即A's,I's

  [误]There are three 6s and two 3s in my telephone number.

  [正]There are three 6's and two 3's in my telephone number.

  [析]在小写字母与数字的复数形式表达法中要用's

  [误]We have many woman teachers in our school.

  [正]We have many women teachers in our school.

  [析]一般组合名词变为复数形式时只将词中心词变为复数如:

  half brother—half brothers(同父异母或同母异父的兄弟)daughter in law—daughtersin law,(儿媳)但要注意的是:man driver—men drivers(男司机) woman doctor—women doctors(女大夫)grown up—grown ups(成年人) 但是boy student—则变为boy students

  [误]There is a people in the room.

  [正]There is a person in the room.

  [正]There is a man in the room.

  [析]people是复数名词,不可用作单数,如要用来讲一个人时应用a person, a man, a woman。同样的词有police.要讲一个警察时则要用a policeman, a policewoman。

  [误]Wher is my shoe?

  [正]Wher are my shoes?

  [析]常常只用作复数形式的词有trousers, pants, shorts(短裤),socks(袜子),shoes, gloves(手套)。但如果只找其中的一个则要指明,这时还是应用单数形式。如:Wher's my left glove?(我左手的手套在哪?)

  [误]I paid five pennies for the sweet.

  [正]I paid five pence for the sweet.

  [析]英语中便士有两个复数形式pence用来表达一定数量的钱。而pennies是指一个个的硬币,如:I want to change this note for pennies.我想把这纸币换成硬币。(即一便士一个的硬币)。

  [误]There are many fruit in the shop.

  [正]There are many fruits in the shop.

  [析]物质名词为不可数名词,但是用来表示种类时则可以用作可数名词,这里应译为各种各样的水果。

  [误]There is a new car. It is Jone's and Mary's.

  [正]There is a new car. It is Jone and Mary's.

  [析]有生命名词的所有格,如果是单数名词则加's如:Mary's car.如果是以s结尾的复数名词则只在s后面加’如:teachers' offices.如果是复数名词但不是以s结尾,则只加’s,如:children's palace 组合名词的所有格是在后一个词尾加's如:girl friend —girl friend's someone else—someone else's a week or three—a week or three's如名词后有同位语时,则应加在同位语的词尾上,如:It is my girl friend, Mary's car.要注意的是当两个名词并列时,如表示归两人共同所有,则在后一个名词后面加's,如果表示分别所有则在两个名词后分别加's,如:This is Mary and Jone's home.即Mary与Jone是一家人。这是他们共同的家。而These are Mary's and Jone's homes.则应译为这里是Mary的家与Jone 的家。

  [误]It is really beautiful. It is a work of nature.

  [正]It is really beautiful. It is a Nature's work.

  [析]这是英语中的一种习惯用法而不要根据语法去推理。如:This pen is Tom's.

  [析]一般动词加上er后则转意为执行该动作的执行者,如:teach(教)—teacher(老师),think(想)—thinker(思想 家),drive(开车)—driver(司机),sell(卖)—seller(卖物者)……但不能总是以此类推,比如cook是动词“做饭”。而 cook也可作为名词“厨师”讲,而cooker则为厨具,餐具,即锅、碗、勺等做饭用具。

  [误]The young is dancing there.

  [正]The young are dancing there.

  [析]英文中用定冠词加上形容词表示一类人时应按复数名词,如:the rich 富人,the poor(穷人),the wise 聪明人,但如果用定冠词加形容词来表示事物则要用作单数名词,如:The beautiful is still here.美丽的风景依旧。

  [析]make friends 为习惯用法,即交朋友。

  [误]I want to tell you much pieces of good news.

  [正]I want to tell you many pieces of good news.

  [析]news为不可数名词,但加了量词之后则要用many来修饰量词,因量词是可数名词,或可以说I want to tell you some good news.因some 即可用在可数名词前,也可用在不可数名词前作形容词,如:I want to tell you some pieces of good news.

  [误]The teacher with five students are coming here.

  [正]The teacher with five students is coming here.
