词组 | weather/weathers |
释义 | weather/weathers 【问】 She goes out in all weathers. (ALD) weather可以用复数形式吗? 【答】 R. Quirk等人认为,weather既不是可数名词(不能说a weather),也不是不可数名词 (不能说a lot of weather)。但是,它既具有可数名词的某些特征(如有复数形式),又有不可数名词的某些特征(如使用与不可数名词连用的修饰语,some bad weather,what lovelyweather)。因此之故,weather作“天气”解时,不与不定冠词连用,也无复数形式,但在in allweathers(不论在何种天气里,不管环境好坏)等短语中却取复数形式。请考察下面的实例: 1. We've had too much wet weather. (Palmer) 我们这里的雨天太多。 2. What fine weather this is ——all green leaves coming out. (Yeats) 天气多好啊——绿叶都出来了。 3. I'll come in all weathers. 不管天气如何,我都会去的。 4. He remained a good friend in all weathers. 不管环境如何,他总是我的好朋友。 请做下面的英语试题: 1.________ terrible weather we've been having these days! A. How a B. What a C. How D. What(全国高考英语试题,1992) 2. “What a beautiful day! ” “Yes,it's________ that I'd like to take a walk. ” A. such nice weather B. so nice weather C.too nice weather D. nice weather so(TOEFL,71.1) 1273 wealthier/more wealthy 赵振才 编著.英语常见问题解答大词典.哈尔滨:黑龙江人民出版社.1998.第1272-1273页. |
