名词tear不可数吗?
1个回答
【问】 名词tear的意思是“眼泪”,“眼泪”即“泪水”,“水”不可数,所以“泪水”和“眼泪”也应该不可数,对吗?（甘肃临夏 任 菲）【答】 如果你真是这样想的,那就错了.请看下面一道题：I found her sitting in the corner, reading ________ newspaper, with ________ in her eyes.A. a; tear B. a piece of; tears C. a; tears D. a piece of; tear此题最佳答案为C.newspaper和tear在此均为可数名词,它们可以与不定冠词连用,也可以用复数.又如：Her eyes were filled with tears. 她热泪盈眶.The newspapers were full of lies. 报纸上一片谎言.A newspaper is a publication. 报纸是一种出版物.顺便说一句,若不是将newspaper当作一种供阅读或传递信息的东西,而只是把它当成一种“纸”来看待,它就是不可数名词.
