番茄的復數(shù)
I was going through an exercise with my class on theformation of plurals. The answers were prettyroutine until I came to the world tomato. "Cananyone tell me the plural of tomato?" I asked. Onestudent's hand shot up. "Ketchup!" he announcedproudly.
我正領著同學們練習復數(shù)的構(gòu)成。他們回答得很正常,這時遇到了“番茄”這個單詞。“你們能告訴我‘番茄’的復數(shù)嗎?”我問。一個學生立刻舉起手,“番茄醬!”他自豪地宣布道。
