6) 另外還有一些名詞,其復數(shù)形式有時可表示特別意思,如:goods貨物,waters水域,fishes(各種)魚?! ?BR> 4. 不可數(shù)名詞量的表示
1)物質(zhì)名詞

2) 若名詞已有復數(shù)詞尾-s ,只加" ' ",如:the workers' struggle 工人的斗爭。
3) 凡不能加"'s"的名詞,都可以用"名詞+of +名詞"的結構來表示所有關系,如:the title of the song 歌的名字。
4) 在表示店鋪或教堂的名字或某人的家時,名詞所有格的后面常常不出現(xiàn)它所修飾的名詞,如:the barber's 理發(fā)店。
5) 如果兩個名詞并列,并且分別有's,則表示"分別有";只有一個's,則表示'共有'。例如:
