在《新观察(课前课后)七年级英语上册》第110页的短文填空中,有这样几个句子:Today is April 30. We have the school trip. It is a great f_____.
该书所给的答案是 fun,而老师所给的答案是 festival?究竟哪个正确?为什么?
1. fun 可以作名词,意思是“乐趣;有趣的事物;有趣的人”等,在句子充当表语或宾语等,不能与不定冠词连用。例如:

He is full of fun. 他很风趣。
It's great fun playing golf. 打高尔夫球很有趣。
David is good fun. 戴维很有趣。

2. fun 也可以作形容词,意思是“有趣的;愉快的”,修饰名词,主要用于美国英语。例如:
a fun party 有趣的聚会 (《外研社英汉多功能词典》)
