| 词组 | erotica |
| 释义 | erotica Erotica has the form of a Greek plural, but it is now usually understood as a mass noun meaning "erotic material," and, as Bernstein 1971 observes, it is now more often than not construed as singular: • ... the erotica is explicit —Thomas Lask, TV. Y. Times, 15 Oct. 1966 • ... erotica was often associated with left-wing politics —Times Literary Supp., 22 Oct. 1971 • Is all erotica male fantasy then ... ? —Shana Alexander, Newsweek, 5 Feb. 1973 Treatment of erotica as a plural still occurs, however, and is not incorrect: • There is also a top row of erotica and I asked the man if he sold many of these —Bill Moyers, Harper's, December 1970 For other foreign plurals, see Latin plurals. |
