Welcome back to this English course on nouns.

歡迎回到這門關於名詞的英語課程。

In this video, I'm going to tell you about countable and uncountable nouns.

在這個視頻中，我將告訴你可數名詞和不可數名詞。

It's very important to know the difference between countable and uncountable nouns in

知道可數名詞和不可數名詞的區別是非常重要的。

English.

英文。

And students often get confused.

而學生往往會感到困惑。

So please listen to me very carefully.

所以請你仔細聽我說。

Let's get started.

我們開始吧

Countable nouns are nouns that you can count.

可數名詞是指可以計數的名詞。

Uncountable nouns are nouns that you cannot count.

不可數名詞是指不能數的名詞。

They're usually a type or a group.

他們通常是一種類型或一個群體。

And they're always singular.

而且他們總是單數。

Let's look at a few examples.

我們來看幾個例子。

Countable nouns – you can say, “a dog.”

可數名詞--你可以說，"一條狗"。

You can say, “one dog,” “two dogs,” “three dogs,” and so on.

你可以說，"一隻狗"、"兩隻狗"、"三隻狗 "等等。

“Man.”

"男人"

You can say, “a man.”

你可以說，"一個人"。

“Two men.”

"兩個人。"

“Idea.”

"想法。"

You can say, “one idea,” “two ideas,” and so on.

你可以說，"一個想法"、"兩個想法 "等等。

“Computer.”

"電腦"

Again, you can say, “one computer, two computers.”

你又可以說 "一臺電腦，兩臺電腦"。

And, “house.”

還有，"房子"。

Well, you can say, “one house, two houses, three houses,” and so on.

好吧，你可以說 "一屋、二屋、三屋 "等等。

These are countable nouns.

這些都是可數名詞。

You can count them.

你可以數數看。

But if we look at uncountable nouns.

但如果我們看不可數名詞。

When you say, “water.”

當你說，"水"。

You can't say, “One water, two waters.”

你不能說 "一水二水"。

It doesn't make any sense.

這沒有任何意義。

You cannot count water.

你不能算水。

Same goes for air.

空氣也是如此。

You can't say, “one air, two airs.”

你不能說 "一氣呵成，兩氣相求"。

It's just 'air'.

這只是'空氣'。

It's uncountable.

這是無法計算的。

'traffic' 'English'

'交通' '英語'

'Equipment' These are all uncountable nouns.

'設備'這些都是不可數的名詞。

You cannot count them And they're always singular.

你無法計算他們，他們總是單數。

Okay, guys.

好吧，夥計們。

Now, let's take a closer look at rules with countable nouns and uncountable nouns.

現在，讓我們仔細看看可數名詞和不可數名詞的規則。

So how do we know if a word is countable or uncountable?

那麼我們怎麼知道一個詞是可數還是不可數呢？

Well there are a few tricks that can help.

嗯，有幾招可以幫助你。

Let's look at these words.

我們來看看這幾個字。

Some groups of words are very often uncountable.

有些組詞往往是無法計算的。

And this can help you.

而這可以幫助你。

For example, liquids.

例如，液體。

Water, juice, milk, beer.

水，果汁，牛奶，啤酒。

All those words are uncountable.

這些話都是數不清的。

Powders.

粉末：

Sugar, flour, salt, rice.

糖，麵粉，鹽，米。

Uncountable words as well.

不計其數的話也是。

Materials.

材料：

Such as wood, plastic, metal, or paper.

如木材、塑膠、金屬或紙張。

Food as well.

食物也是。

Like fruit, meat, cheese, and bread.

比如水果、肉、奶酪和麵包。

And finally, abstract ideas.

最後，抽象的想法。

Like time, information, love, and beauty.

比如時間、資訊、愛和美。

Another trick is that most of the time, you can measure uncountable nouns.

另一個技巧是，大多數時候，你可以測量不可計數的名詞。

Let's look at examples.

我們來看一下例子。

For example, if we take liquids.

例如，如果我們以液體。

I have two liters of milk.

我有兩升牛奶。

Now, you cannot count milk.

現在，你不能指望牛奶。

But you can measure milk.

但你可以測量牛奶。

And you can count liters.

而且你會數升。

So you can say, “I have two liters of milk.”

所以你可以說："我有兩升牛奶。"

You can say, “I have a glass of water.”

你可以說："我有一杯水。"

Or “I have glasses of water.”

或 "我有水杯"。

“Cups of coffee.”

"一杯咖啡。"

“Bottles of water.”

"瓶裝水"

So you can measure this uncountable noun.

所以你可以測量這個不可數的名詞。

Same goes with powders.

粉末也是如此。

“I have one kilogram of sugar.”

"我有一公斤糖。"

“Two kilograms of sugar.”

"兩公斤糖。"

With materials and foods, we often use the word, 'piece'.

對於材料和食物，我們經常會用到一個詞，"片"。

For example, “I ate two pieces of cake.”

例如，"我吃了兩塊蛋糕"。

Or bread.

或麵包。

Or pizza.

或者披薩。

Or meat.

或肉。

Or cheese.

或奶酪。

“I need pieces of paper.”

"我需要紙片。"

Wood.

木頭。

Plastic.

塑膠的

Metal.

金屬。

Or “I have some water.”

或 "我有水"。

'Some' is an article that always works with uncountable nouns.

'有的'是一個文章，總是和不可數名詞一起使用。

Ok guys, I hope you understand.

好了各位，希望你們理解。

Let's move on.

讓我們繼續前進。

Some words can be both countable and uncountable nouns.

有些詞既可以是可數名詞，也可以是不可數名詞。

Now not all of them.

現在不是所有的人。

But some of them.

但其中一些。

Let's take a look.

讓我們一起來看看。

“I would like to eat some cake.”

"我想吃點蛋糕。"

“I would like two pieces of cake.”

"我想吃兩塊蛋糕。"

So in these two sentences, 'cake' is obviously and uncountable noun.

所以在這兩句中，'蛋糕'顯然是和不可言的名詞。

But if I say, “I would like to eat two cakes.”

但如果我說，"我想吃兩塊蛋糕"。

Suddenly, it becomes a countable noun.

突然間，它變成了一個可數名詞。

Why?

為什麼？

Because in the first two sentences, we are talking about pieces of one cake.

因為在前兩句中，我們說的是一塊蛋糕。

In the last sentence, we are considering the whole cake.

最後一句，我們考慮的是整個蛋糕。

So it becomes countable.

所以就變成了可數。

Another example.

另一個例子：

“I would like to eat some chicken.”

"我想吃點雞。"

“I would like to eat a piece of chicken.”

"我想吃一塊雞肉。"

Both sentences, uncountable noun, 'chicken'.

這兩句，不可數名詞，'雞'。

But the last sentence, “I see two chickens.”

但最後一句，"我看到兩隻雞"。

Hmm, 'chicken', in this case, is a countable noun.

嗯，'雞'，在這裡，是一個可數名詞。

Why?

為什麼？

Because in the first two sentences, 'chicken' is food.

因為在前兩句中，'雞'是食物。

But in the last sentence, 'chicken' is an animal.

但在最後一句中，'雞'是一種動物。

So the animal is a countable noun.

所以動物是一個可數名詞。

'Chicken' as food is uncountable.

'雞'作為食物是不可計數的。

Hope you get it.

希望你能得到它。

Let's move on to example sentences now.

現在我們繼續說例句。

Let's now review a few example sentences, so you can practice using countable and uncountable
