复数,形式,Lives,life

Liveslife的复数形式,如果你说their lives的话就是强调他们每人有不同的生活,如果不是特别强调的话用life就好了

留学时老外说的~

注:life当生活用时可数,引用牛津字典的原文:

Many of these children have led very sheltered lives (= they have not had many different experiences).

但作为生命时不可数,以下为牛津字典原文:

[Uncountable] the ability to breathe, grow, reproduce, etc. which people, animals and plants have before they die and which objects do not have: life and death The body was cold and showed no signs of life. My father died last yearI wish I could bring him back to life. In spring the countryside bursts into life.

国内是有教“生活不可数,生命可数”之类的,但life的用法并不这么单一,楼上有人争论这个,那我就引用Yahoo Answers里老外的原话来解释:"Lives" is used when speaking of more than one life.

So if you are speaking of multiple people each having a separate life, then you would use "lives". Such as "Days of Our Lives".

If you are speaking of one person but of the different personas they wear in their existence, then you would use "lives". Such as a person might have a personal life and a professional life, so you would be speaking of that person's lives.

If you are speaking of a group of people sharing the same experiences living as a group, then you would use "life". Such as "Our life at camp", because it refers to a group of campers and a group is a singular unit.

也就是我说的:如果你说their lives的话就是强调他们每人有不同的生活,如果不是特别强调的话用life就好了

all their lifeall their lives 哪个对?

最佳答案 我觉得这个是有争议的.

如果理解为"生活",就可以用all their life

比如All their life didn't changed too much after the flood.




如果理解为"生命,则用lives就好了

This boat saved all their lives.

关于life lives的用法是一个长期折磨老师和学生的问题,以下是一些用法说明,希望对大家有帮助:

Q:关于life lives的用法。我们应该说:We enjoy our school life 还是school livesin my everyday life all my life 是否也可以用lives 代替?我们说a special experience in our life 还是lives?

A:在这种用法的时候一般要考虑主语是什么。主语是we时,因为we包含了很多人,所以一般用lives,比如说:We read our books。每个人都有一本书,每个人都在读自己的书。放在一起时就应该用books

但是lifelives的用法却有一些例外。

在以上的例子里,可以说在某种程度上所有的学生都分享着同样的”school life,因此用school life或者lives在语法上都是对的,关键看你要表达的是什么意思。如果你强调的是“每一个学生的生活都过得很快乐”,你可以用lives,如果你强调的是他们在学校的集体生活,你可以用life

但是special experiences in..的用法,又有一些例外。大多数情况下我们要用lives,因为每个人的经历都是不同的,每个人都有自己的经历。唯一的例外是,如果你和自己的家庭成员、妻子、女友等谈论家庭内部共同的经历时,可以说special experiences in our life,表示你们共同经历过的某些过程,否则一般情况下还是用lives比较好一些。
