个体名词:
个体名词指作为个体而存在的人或东西,可以指具体东西,如:
She has three brothers.她有三个哥哥。
也可指抽象的东西,如:
He’s been here for a month.他在这里待一星期了。
下面是一些常见的个体名词:
accident, account, actor, alt, animal, answer,
apartment, article, artist, baby, bag, ball
集体名词:
集体名词是由个体组成的集体的名称,下面是一些常见的集体名词:
aristocracy, army audience, bacteria, cast
committee, community, company, council, crew,
data, enemy, family, flock, gang
government, group, herd ,jury media
这些词本身有复数(注明者除外),带复数动词,表示多个集体。
单数集体名词有时作单数看待,有时作复数看待。一般说来,作为整体时作单数看待,想到它包含的成员时作复数看待。试比较下面句子:
The public was unlikely to support it.公众支持它的可能性不大。
The public were deceived by the newspapers.公众受到报纸的蒙骗。
The enemy has suffered heavy losses.敌人受到重大损失。
The enemy were attacking the town.敌军正在攻打该城。
The government is discussing the proposal.追问我想知道为什么猫(cat)是个体名词 而牛(cattle)是集合名词
