   我们知道,英语可数名词的复数规则是在词尾加s或es,那是不是就意味着,所有以s结尾的名词作主语,都是作复数用?然并卵!这些词中,有些是作复数用,有些却是作单数用,有些既可以作单数,也可以作复数用。


  一、以s结尾的疾病名称
  英语中一些以s结尾的疾病名称,通常用作单数。如arthritis(关节炎),bronchitis(支气管炎),mumps 1(腮腺炎),diabetes 2(糖尿病)等。
  Diabetes is caused by a lack of insulin. 糖尿病是由缺乏胰岛素引起的。
  Mumps is a kind of infectious disease. 腮腺炎是一种传染病。
  二、以s结尾的游戏名称
  表示游戏名称的名词一般作单数用。如darts 3(投镖),marbles(打子弹)。
  Darts is an easy game. 投镖是一种简单的游戏。
  Marbles is an old game. 打子弹是一种老游戏。
  三、以s结尾的学科名称
  某些以-ics结尾的学科名称,通常用作单数。如physics(物理学),mathematics(数学),optics(光学)等等。
  Physics is an important subject. 物理学是一门很重要的学科。
  Linguistics 4 is the science of language. 语言学是语言的科学。
  四、以s结尾的地理名称
  1.以s结尾的地理名称,如果是国家名,由于是单一政治实体,所以用作单数。
  The United States is a country with fast economical development.
  美国是一个经济发展迅速的国家。
  2.以s结尾的地理名称,如果是群岛、山脉、海峡、瀑布等名称,则用作复数。
  The Himalayas are very famous in the world. 喜马拉雅山脉举世闻名。
  以上四种以s结尾的名词作主语时,谓语要根据相应的要求和意义,遵循“一致”原则,切不可简单片面地“望s生复数义”!
