some newspapers
newspaper是不可数,为什么some后面要用可数复数形式?
some newspapers
请看下面一道题:When I entered she was reading _________ newspaper,with _________ in her eyes.
A.a,tear B.a piece of,tears C.a,tears D.a piece of,tear
【分析】此题容易误选D,想当然地认为news (消息)和 paper(纸)均为不可数名词,所以newspaper(报纸)也应是不可数名词;同时认为“眼泪”即“泪水”,“水”不可数,“泪水”和“眼泪”也应该不可数.但非常有趣,newspaper(报纸)和 tear(眼泪)却是两个可数名词,如可说 a newspaper,two newspapers,a tear,two tears 等.注:若不是将 newspaper 当作是供阅读或传递信息的一种东西,而只是把它当成一种“纸”来看待,也可用作不可数名词,如:Wrap it in (a sheet of) newspaper.把它用张报纸包起来.
