知识拓展
work在上面情况下有单复数行呢?
1.表示“工作”时,为不可数名词。如:
He advised me not to take too much work. 他劝我不要做太多的工作。
若要表示可数的“工作”,可根据情况使用job, task之类的词。如:
Steve has finally found a job. 史蒂夫最后找到一份工作。
Gifts performed most of the tasks. 姑娘们负责干大部分的工作。
2.表示“作品”时,有时可数有时不可数,其区别是:若表示人们用手工制作的东西(what is produced by work, esp of the hands),如工艺品、针钱活、刺绣品等,不可数;若表示文学家、艺术家、音乐家等的“作品”“著作”等,则可数。如:
What a wonderful piece of work! It must have taken months to make. 多么精制的一件工艺品啊! 一定花了好几个月才制成。
He has published several works of great scientific importance. 他出版了好几本重要的科学著作。
3. 表示“著作”时,是可数名词,若表示某个作家或艺术家的全部作品,通常要用复数。如:
Do you like The Complete Works of Shakespeare? 你喜欢这套《莎士比亚全集》吗?
4. 表示“工厂”时,无论是单数还是复数,均要用works;用作主语时,其谓语动词需根据具体语境来确定。如:
A large steel works was built here in the thirties. 30年代这里建了一座大钢铁工厂。
A number of steel works were built here in the thirties. 30年代这里建了一些钢铁工厂。
若没有特定的上下文,谓语用单数或复数均可。如:
The glass works is [are] near the station. 玻璃工厂在车站附近。
