take acition与take actions - 柯帕斯英语网

3 take acition与take actions

下面两句均摘自高中英语北师大版必修三的第40页：

1. Last August, city officials interviewed about 500 residents to find out people’s attitudes to protecting the environment and what actions they had taken.

2. Unfortunately, not as many who took part had taken action to save water and energy in their homes.

上面两句为什么一个用的是 take acitions，另一个用的是 take action 呢？这样用的 action 用单数或复数都可以吗？有没有区别？

take action 和 take actions 都可以说，但从使用情况来看，前者远比后者常见。不过，也有词典只收录了 take actions 而没有收录 take action，如《牛津英语同义词学习词典》的actions词条，就只列了to take actions / measures / steps。
