fruit用法:
1、表示“水果”時(shí),通常用作總稱或集體名詞,不可數(shù).如:
He just lived on fruit.他只靠吃水果維持生命.
Would you like some more fruit?你要不要再吃點(diǎn)水果?
若表示水果種類,則是可數(shù)的.如:
The mango is a tropical fruit.芒果是種熱帶水果.
The tree bears a red hard fruit.這種樹結(jié)一種紅色堅(jiān)硬的`果實(shí).
但有時(shí)到底是表示總稱還是種類,完全取決于具體的語境,有時(shí)兩種情況都說得通.如:
The country exports tropical fruit(s).該國出口熱帶水果.
2、表示“幾種(多種、各種)水果”時(shí),可直接說 some (many,various) fruits,也可用 some (many,various) kinds of fruit(后者通常用不用復(fù)數(shù)).如:
Some fruits don’t freeze well at all.有些水果根本就不能冷藏.
They sell various fruits at that shop.那個(gè)商店賣各種水果.
