有不会的欢迎再继续问我(*^__^*)
The audience were very excited by the show. 中间的were和was都可以用
都可以的,因为不知道说话者的意图是指一个听众,还是所有的听众,如果说话者只想说一个听众,那就用was,反之用were.
本题涉及到集合名词的谓语动词的使用方法:
英语集合名词用法说明
一、family类
family(家庭),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:
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.
二、police类
cattle(牛,牲畜),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(表示总括意义和特指):
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):three head of cattle (3头牛),twenty (head of ) cattle (20头牛).
三、goods类
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:
Such clothes are very expensive.那样的衣服很贵.
To whom do these goods belong?这些货是谁的?
四、baggage类
baggage / luggage(行李),clothing(衣服),furniture(家具),machinery(机器),poetry(诗),scenery(风景),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:
Our clothing protects us from [against] the cold.我们的衣服可以御寒.
Have you checked all your baggage?你所有行李都托运了吗?
【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).
五、hair的用法
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):
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.
六、mankind的用法
mankind(人类)是一个不可数的集合名词,不用复数形式,也不连用冠词:
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“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:
Mankind are intelligent animals.人是理智的动物.
七、fruit的用法
fruit(水果)作为集合名词,它通常是不可数的:
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:
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.
