英语就是这样(44)………one fish, two fish? Three fish?

很多英文的名词，不论数量词是一，还是超过一，它还是以单数来引用的。这些名词好像fish, sheep, deer, hundred, thousand 等等。

一尾鱼是 one fish两尾鱼 two fish是三尾鱼 three fish 不是 two fishes, three fishes.

一只羊 是 one sheep，两只羊是 two sheep 三只羊是 three sheep 而不是两只羊 two sheeps 三只羊 three sheeps.

一只鹿 是one deer，两只鹿 是two deer三只鹿是 three deer. 而不是两只鹿 two deers 三只鹿 three deers.

各位须注意：同样的 一百是 one hundred，两百是two hundred，三百 是 three hundred

一千是one thousand，两千是 two thousand三千是 three thousand.

但是，如果你要讲述约百人或超越千人，不引述数字，你就可用复数来形容人潮。

如：Hundreds of people were waiting at the airport.

Hundreds of visitors arrive here every day.

Thousands of students attended the seminar.

Thousands of books were sold out this morning.

以上的例子，没用到数字时，就可用复数hundreds , thousands。
