摘要:用法3,“草坪、草地”。它的面积都比较大,认知存在感比较强,它要加定件词。如告示排的Don't walk on the grass,Keep off the grass就是警示牌附近的草坪(一到那个地方,你就能认知定出相应的草地)。
grass有多种用法,其中三种典型用法如下。
用法1, 字面意义的“草”,这是不可数名词,如
【例句1】She enjoyed the feel of grass beneath her feet. (她喜欢脚下青草的感觉。) [朗文当代英语辞典]
如果为语境认知定的草,那么要用定件词,如
【例句2】The dry grass caught fire. (干草着火了。)[牛津高级学者辞典]
【例句3】Support garden wildlife by cutting the grass less often. (通过减少割草次数来支持花园野生动物。)[剑桥高级学者辞典]
【例句4】Small things stirred in the grass around the tent. (小东西在帐篷周围的草里扒拉。)[柯林斯高级学者词典]
用法2,“草的种类”,可数名词,如
【例句5】All grasses need light to grow well. (所有的草都需要光才能长得好。)[朗文当代英语辞典]
【例句6】The lawn contained a mixture of grasses. (草坪上长满各种草。)[柯林斯高级学者词典]
对可数情形,按可数名词的规则加冠词。
用法3,“草坪、草地”。它的面积都比较大,认知存在感比较强,它要加定件词。如告示排的Don't walk on the grass,Keep off the grass就是警示牌附近的草坪(一到那个地方,你就能认知定出相应的草地)。
即便不在现场,这些这些草坪在语境也往往是存在感很强的区块,很多时候也是唯一的,所以多用定件词,如
【例句7】I'm going to cut the grass. (我要去割草地。) [柯林斯高级学者词典]
【例句8】I walked across the grass. (我穿过那片草地。)[朗文当代英语辞典]
【例句9】In the old days, there were strict fines for walking on the grass or missing a study period. (在过去,在草地上走或错过学习时间都会受到严厉的罚款。)[柯林斯高级学者词典]
如果只是在草坪上,而不能认知定出其具体,那么用on grass即可,如
【例句10】He plays better on grass (= on a grass court, when playing tennis). (他在草坪上打得更好。)[牛津高级学者辞典]
【例句11】I know she's very good on grass with a good serve and volley. (我知道她在草坪上打得很好,发球和凌空抽射都很好。) [剑桥高级学者辞典]
【例句12】It was only my second match on grass and I was happy with how it went. (这只是我在草地上的第二场比赛,我对比赛的进行感到满意。) [剑桥高级学者辞典]
