goods没有单数形式,它本身是复数形式
事实上,goods和
people,cattle不一样。
people,
cattle都是常作复数使用的集合名词,具有复数概念,它们的谓语动词要用复数形式。其中,people做沿背毫阶举从是可数名词,
前面可以加数目字,或类似的限定语,比如:“How
many
people
are
there
in
your
family?”(你家里有几口人?)“There
are
five
people
in
my
famil360问答y.”(我家有5口严效延原人。)
而cattle除了可以说:Many
cattle
died
倍既其宪好奏结机热in
the
drought.
(许多牛在旱灾是死了。)
He
has
fi京否感备帝程双儿动ve
cattle.
(他有5头牛。)
还可以说:He
has
one
head
of
cattle
and
s面镇双果亲次富罪死he
has
three
heads
of
cattle.
(他有1头牛,她有3头牛。)
goods
表示“货物会汽八,商品”,既是一般用语,又是财贸用语。指销售或购入的物品,也指货车装运的货物。比如:The
shopkeeper
h减花爱anded
out
his
goods
and
the
carrier
took
them
away.
(店主交了货,然后搬运工就须意爱答值沉把货运走了。)
注意,这里的goods只有复数形式,前面不能加数目字,或类模临措促历似的修饰语,因此不能说:two
goods,
many
go一ods。只能说:
1)They
gave
me
tw坐官曾翻复率环脸著边o
pieces
of
goods.
(他们给我两件货物。)
2)They
gave
