高中英語語法(2)hair 與 hairs 的區(qū)別

　　【看題】

　　a. He must be very old. Look, he has grey ____.

　　b. He found some ____ in his soup.

　　A. hair, hair B. hairs, hairs. C. hair, hairs D. hairs, hair.

　　【分析】

　　此題應選 C, 容易誤選 A, 誤認為hair永遠不可數。其實hair這個詞既可以是可數的, 也可以是不可數, 只是含義稍有變化：

　　1. 作為可數名詞, 是指一根一根的“頭發(fā)”或“毛發(fā)”:

　　Look at this, a hair in my soup.

　　你瞧, 我的湯里有根頭發(fā)。

　　The cat has left her loose hairs all over my clothes.

　　貓掉的毛弄得我衣服上到處都是。

　　My father has quite a few gray hairs.

　　我父親已有不少白發(fā)。

　　There is not a gray hair on his head.

　　他頭上沒有一根白頭發(fā)。

　　2. 作為不可數名詞“頭發(fā)”的總稱, 是集合名詞：

　　I'll have my hair cut. 我要去理發(fā)。

　　He has blond hair. 他有一頭金發(fā)。

　　She has a beautiful head of hair.

　　她有一頭漂亮的頭發(fā)。

　　The woman likes to do her hair in foreign style.

　　這個女人喜歡把頭發(fā)梳成外國式。

　　試比較以下句子：

　　He has grey hair. 他滿頭白發(fā)。

　　He has grey hairs. 他有些白發(fā)了。
