1. 下列两句都正确：

　如果从逻辑上分析，这两句都是错误的，因为既不可能“一个学生翻几本书”，也不可能“几个学生翻一本书”。然而这种错误是英语本身的缺点造成的，是不可克服的。语法学家把这种语法现象称之为“分配性复数”和“分配性单数”。在语言实践中，这两种用法都可见到，而以复数形式者居多。
2. 有关book的用词，书的作者是writer，出版者是publisher，书商是book-seller，销售店是book-store，但是book-keeper是指商业或企业的会计， book-maker是指以赛马赌博为业的人
3. everything in the book相当于throw the book at sb （把一切罪名加在某一个人的身上）。例如：
　We were traitors, we were turn-coats, we were crazy, we were everything in the book.　他们骂我们是叛徒、变节分子、疯子，他们把书上写着的所有的坏话都加在我们的头上。
4. 以大写字母开头的Book可指《圣经》，Blue Book则指“蓝皮书”。
