Hair与Hairs应该怎么用

【看题】

a. He must be very old. Look, he has grey ____.

b. He found some ____ in his soup.

A. hair, hair B. hairs, hairs. C. hair, hairs D. hairs, hair.

【分析】

此题应选 C, 容易误选 A, 误认为hair永远不可数。其实hair这个词既可以是可数的, 也可以是不可数, 只是含义稍有变化：

1. 作为可数名词, 是指一根一根的“头发”或“毛发”:

Look at this, a hair in my soup.

你瞧, 我的汤里有根头发。

The cat has left her loose hairs all over my clothes.

猫掉的毛弄得我衣服上到处都是。

My father has quite a few gray hairs.

我父亲已有不少白发。

There is not a gray hair on his head.

他头上没有一根白头发。

2. 作为不可数名词“头发”的总称, 是集合名词：

I'll have my hair cut.

我要去理发。

He has blond hair.

他有一头金发。

She has a beautiful head of hair.

她有一头漂亮的头发。

The woman likes to do her hair in foreign style.

这个女人喜欢把头发梳成外国式。
