? 第五类

补充几个常考的集合名词除上面提到的四类集合名词外,以下几个集合名词也应重点注意:

如:

? mankind(人类)人是一个不可数的集合名词,不用复数形式,也不连用冠词。如:

Mankind has its own problems. 人类有自己的问题。

注:mankind 表示“mankind 人(类)”时,虽不可数,但有时却可以表示复数意义,尤其是当其表语是复数时。如:Mankind are intelligent animals. 人是理智的动物。

? fruit(水果)作为集合名词,它通常是不可数的。如:

He doesn’t eat much fruit. 他不大吃水果。

He is growing fruit in the country. 他在乡下种水果。

但是,当要表示种类时,它可视为可数名词,即a fruit 指一种水果,fruits 指多种水果。比较:fruits Some fruits have thick skins. 有些水果皮很厚。The potato is a vegetable, not a fruit. 土豆是一种蔬菜,而不是一种水果。
