Welcome back to this English course on nouns.

欢迎回到这个关于名词的英语课程。

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

在本视频中，我将向您介绍可数名词和不可数名词。

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

了解

English.

英语中可数名词和不可数名词之间的区别非常重要。

And students often get confused.

学生们常常感到困惑。

So please listen to me very carefully.

所以请仔细听我说。

Let’s get started.

让我们开始吧。

Countable nouns are nouns that you can count.

可数名词是可以数的名词。

Uncountable nouns are nouns that you cannot count.

不可数名词是你不能数的名词。

They’re usually a type or a group.

他们通常是一个类型或一个群体。

And they’re always singular.

而且它们总是独一无二的。

Let’s look at a few examples.

让我们看几个例子。

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

可数名词——你可以说“一只狗”。

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

你可以说“一只狗”、“两只狗”、“三只狗”等等。

“Man.”

“男人。”

You can say, “a man.”

你可以说“一个男人”。

“Two men.”

“两名男子。”

“Idea.”

“主意。”

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

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

同样，您可以说“一台计算机，两台计算机”。

And, “house.”

还有“房子”。

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

嗯，你可以说，“一栋房子，两栋房子，三栋房子”等等。

These are countable nouns.

You can count them.

But if we look at uncountable nouns.

但如果我们看看不可数名词。

When you say, “water.”

Okay, guys.

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

现在，让我们仔细看看可数名词和不可数名词的规则。

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

那么我们如何知道一个词是可数还是不可数呢？

Well there are a few tricks that can help.

有一些技巧可以提供帮助。

Let’s look at these words.

我们来看看这些话。

Some groups of words are very often uncountable.

有些词组通常是不可数的。

And this can help you.

这可以帮助你。

For example, liquids.

例如，液体。

Water, juice, milk, beer.

All those words are uncountable.

所有这些词都是不可数的。

Uncountable words as well.

And finally, abstract ideas.

最后，抽象的想法。

Like time, information, love, and beauty.

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

另一个技巧是，大多数时候，你可以测量不可数名词。

Let’s look at examples.

让我们看一下例子。

For example, if we take liquids.

例如，如果我们服用液体。

I have two liters of milk.

我有两升牛奶。

Now, you cannot count milk.

现在，你无法数牛奶。

But you can measure milk.

但你可以测量牛奶。

And you can count liters.

你还可以数升。

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

所以你可以说，“我有两升牛奶。”

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

你可以说：“我有一杯水。”

Or “I have glasses of water.”

或者“我有几杯水。”

“Cups of coffee.”

“几杯咖啡。”

“Bottles of water.”

“瓶装水。”

So you can measure this uncountable noun.

所以你可以衡量这个不可数名词。

Same goes with powders.

粉末也同样如此。

“I have one kilogram of sugar.”

“我有一公斤糖。”

“Two kilograms of sugar.”

“两公斤糖。”

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

对于材料和食物，我们经常使用“块”这个词。

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

例如，“我吃了两块蛋糕。”

Or bread.

或者面包。

Or pizza.

或者披萨。

Or meat.

Or “I have some water.”

‘Some’ is an article that always works with uncountable nouns.

“Some”是一个总是与不可数名词一起使用的冠词。

Ok guys, I hope you understand.

好吧，伙计们，我希望你们能理解。

Let’s move on.

让我们继续。

Some words can be both countable and uncountable nouns.

有些词既可以是可数名词，也可以是不可数名词。

Now not all of them.

现在不是全部。

But some of them.

但其中一些。

Let’s take a look.

让我们来看看。

“I would like to eat some cake.”

“我想吃点蛋糕。”

“I would like two pieces of cake.”

“我想要两块蛋糕。”

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

所以在这两句话中，“蛋糕”显然是不可数名词。

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

但如果我说：“我想吃两个蛋糕。”

Suddenly, it becomes a countable noun.

突然，它变成了可数名词。

Why?

为什么？

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

因为在前两句话中，我们谈论的是一块蛋糕的碎片。

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

在最后一句话中，我们正在考虑整个蛋糕。

So it becomes countable.

所以它变得可数。

Another example.

另一个例子。

“I would like to eat some chicken.”

“我想吃点鸡肉。”

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

“我想吃一块鸡肉。”

Both sentences, uncountable noun, ‘chicken’.

两个句子都是不可数名词“鸡”。

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

但最后一句话，“我看到两只鸡。”

Hmm, ‘chicken’, in this case, is a countable noun.

嗯，“鸡”，在这种情况下，是一个可数名词。

Why?

为什么？

Because in the first two sentences, ‘chicken’ is food.

因为在前两句中，“鸡”是食物。

But in the last sentence, ‘chicken’ is an animal.

但在最后一句中，“鸡”是一种动物。

So the animal is a countable noun.

所以动物是可数名词。

‘Chicken’ as food is uncountable.

“鸡”作为食物是不可数的。

Hope you get it.

希望你能明白。

Let’s move on to example sentences now.
