番茄的復(fù)數(shù)
I was going through an exercise with my class on theformation of plurals. The answers were prettyroutine until I came to the world tomato. "Cananyone tell me the plural of tomato?" I asked. Onestudent's hand shot up. "Ketchup!" he announcedproudly.
我正領(lǐng)著同學(xué)們練習(xí)復(fù)數(shù)的構(gòu)成。他們回答得很正常,這時(shí)遇到了“番茄”這個(gè)單詞。“你們能告訴我‘番茄’的復(fù)數(shù)嗎?”我問。一個(gè)學(xué)生立刻舉起手,“番茄醬!”他自豪地宣布道。
