第二篇：集合名词VS主谓一致

Collective Noun 定义

集合名词（英语：Collective noun）是语言学上的一个专有名词，意指一种可用来指称一群对象的字，而这些对象，可以是人、动物、或是一群概念等事物。举例而言，在英语中，“一群狮子”可称为“a pride of lions”，此时“pride”为一个集合名词。

词语信息

“集合名词”是名词的一个特殊子类，表示集合，描述成群成组的事物。析而言之，又可分为“可分集合名词”和“不可分集合名词”。

词语释义

可分集合名词：该类事物可以个体化，可用集合量词计数，同时也可以用除“一”以外的个体量词计数。

示例：干警，愿意指公安部门中干部和警察的合称，可以说“寒冷的子夜，一批干警仍在一线执勤”，也可以说“五位公安干警受到了表彰”，但不能说“我作为一名普通的司法干警，也可以为普通百姓办事”。

不可分集合名词：该事物不可以个体化，即不受个体量词修饰。除了可用集合量词修饰之外，有时还可以受容器量词、度量词或不定量词修饰。

示例：可以说“上海港停靠了很多船舶”，但不能说“上海港停靠了一条（只，艘）船舶”。

“军火”，是武器和弹药的总称，没有专用的个体量词修饰它，但有可用的集合量词，如：一批军火。同时也可以用容器量词、度量词和不定量词度量，如“一车军火”、“三吨军火”。

应注意，有部分词原意是表示集合，但现在词意有所变化。例如“图书”，原指图画和书，现在泛指书籍，如“北大图书馆珍藏了几百万册图书”，也可以说“我今天借了一本图书”。本、册是个体量词，“图书”是能受个体量词修饰的名词，所以是个体名词，而不是集合名词。“书本”不能受个体量词的修饰，是集合名词。

分类

第一类

形式为单数，但意义可以用为单数或复数这类集合名词。包括family(家庭Y: 'Times New Roman'">family(，team(队)，class(班)，audience(听众)等，其用法特点为：若视为整体，表示单数意义；若考虑其个体成员，表示复数意义。比较并体会：His family is large.他的家是个大家庭。His family are all waiting for him.他的一家人都在等他。This class consists of 45 pupils.这个班由45个学生组成。This class are reading English now.这个班的学生在读英语。

这个班的学生在读英语。

第二类

形式为单数，但意义永远为复数这类集合名词。包括cattle(牛，牲畜)cattle(，people(人)，police(警察)等，其用法特点为：只有单数形式, 但却表示复数意义，用作主语时谓语用复数；不与 a(n)连用，但可与the连用(连用)。如：People will laugh at you.人们会笑你的。The police are looking for him.警察在找他。Many cattle were

killed for this.就因为这个原因宰了不少牲畜。注：表示牲畜的头数，用单位词 head(单复数同形)。如：five head of cattle 5头牛，fifty(head of)cattle 50头牛

第三类

形式为复数，意义也为复数这类集合名词。包括goods(货物), clothes(衣服)等，其用法特点是：只有复数形式(当然也表示复数意义，用作主语时谓语也用复数)，但通常不与数词连用。如：Clothes dry slowly in the rainy season.衣服在雨季不易干。Such clothes are very expensive.那样的衣服很贵。If goods are not well made you should complain to the manufacturer.如果货物质量不好，则理应向制造商提出控诉。

第四类

形式为单数，意义也为单数这类集合名词。包括baggage / luggage(行李), clothing(衣服), furniture(家具), machinery(机器), poetry(诗), scenery(风景), scenery(), jewelry(珠宝), equipment(设备)等, 其用法特点为：是不可数名词，只用单数形式，不用不定冠词(当然更不能用数词)，没有复数形式。如：Our clothing protects us from [against] the cold.我们的衣服可以御寒。<>Have you checked all your baggage? 你所有的行李都托运了吗?The thief stole all her jewelry.小偷把她所有的首饰都偷走了。The hospital has no decent equipment.这家医院没有像样的设备。The Tang Dynasty is thought of as the high summer of Chinese poetry.人们认为唐朝是中国诗歌的全盛时期。注：machinery, poetry, jewelry, scenery等相应的个体可数名词是 machine, poem, jewel, scene等。如：a poem / a piece of poetry 一首诗many machines / much machinery / many pieces of machinery 许多机器

第五类

补充几个常考的集合名词除上面提到的四类集合名词外，以下几个集合名词也应重点注意：

1.hair(头发，毛发)

指全部头发或毛发时，为集合名词(不可数)；指几根头发或毛发时，为个体名词(可数)。如：My hair has grown very long.我的头发已长得很长了。The police found two hairs there.警察在那儿找到了两根头发。

2.mankind(人类)

人是一个不可数的集合名词，不用复数形式，也不连用冠词。如：This is an invention that benefits mankind.这是一项造福人类的发明。Mankind has its own problems.人类有自己的问题。注：mankind 表示“mankind 人(类)”时，虽不可数，但有时却可以表示复数意义，尤其是当其表语是复数时。如：Mankind are intelligent animals.人是理智的动物。

3.fruit(水果)

作为集合名词，它通常是不可数的。如：He doesn’t eat much fruit.他不大吃水果。He is growing fruit in the country.他在乡下种水果。但是，当要表示种类时，它可视为可数名词，即a fruit 指一种水果，fruits 指多种水果。比较：fruits Some fruits have thick skins.有些水果皮很厚。The potato is a vegetable, not a fruit.土豆是一种蔬菜，而不是一种水果。

主谓一致

一、某些有生命的集合名词（表示人或者动物），本身有单／复数之分。其为单数时，若作主语，则谓语可用单数／复数。主要依据说话者强调的重点而定，若强调许多个体，谓语用复数；若强调一个整体，则用单数。其为复数时，不言而喻，谓语必

（1）.绝大多数的可数名词的复数形式，是在该词末尾加上后辍-s。friend→friends;cat→cats;style→styles;sport→sports;piece→pieces(2).凡是以s、z、x、ch、sh结尾的词，在该词末尾加上后辍-es构成复数。

bus→buses;;fox→foxes;match→matches;flash→flashes box →boxes;watch →watches;actress →actresses;class →classes;dress →dresses;sandwich →sandwiches;toothbrush →toothbrushes;waitress（女侍者）→waitresses

(3).以辅音字母+y结尾的名词，将y改变为i，再加-es。candy→candies;lady→ladies;story→stories strawberry →strawberries;baby →babies;library →libraries;dictionary →dictionaries;activity →activities

答案与解析：

1.have;is。表示时间、金钱、距离、重量的复数名词表示单位数量用作主语时，通常看作整体，谓语动词用单数形式（第二空）;若强调数目，谓语动词用复数形式（第一空）。

2.Is。不定代词anyone, anybody, anything, everyone, everybody, everything, someone, somebody, something, nobody, nothing等作主语时，谓语动词用单数形式。

3.is;are。集体名词family, class等作主语时，如果强调整体（第一空），谓语动词用单数形式；如果强调个体（第二空），则用复数形式。4.are。

5.is。某些名词以-s结尾，表面看是复数形式，实际上是单数概念，如physics, news等，它们作主语时，谓语动词用单数形式。6.is。当主语是不定式短语，-ing形式短语或主语从句时，谓语动词一般用单数形式。

7.is。一个单数名词同时被两个不同的形容词修饰，如果表示的是同一概念，谓语动词一般用单数。该句意为“最后一课十四课是最难的一课。” 8.am。

9.has。两个名词或代词由and连接作主语时，当and不表示并列意 义，而连接两个在意义上表示同一人、物或概念或由两个部件配成的物品时，谓语动词用单数。

10.was。主语后面接说明主语的修饰语，如用with，along with，as well as, like, rather than, but, except, besides, including等与修饰语连接，谓语动词不受修饰成分的影响，仍保持同主语一致的关系。11.has。两个并列的名词由each，every，no等修饰时，谓语动词一般用单数。

12.Is;am。当用作主语的两个名词或代词由or，either...or, neither...nor或 not only...but also等连接时，谓语通常与邻近的名词或代词保持一致。

13.are。一个单数名词同时被两个不同的形容词修饰，表示两个不同的概念时，谓语动词一般用复数。

14.has。“many a + 单数名词”作主语时，表达的是复数意义，但谓语动词要用单数。

15.are。“the+形容词 / 过去分词”表示一类人时，谓语动词用复数。16.have, has
