each other’s 后接名词是用单数还是用复数。比如:
是 each other’s school 还是 each other’s schools?
是 each other’s room 还是 each other’s rooms?
还有,如果是 one anther’s 呢?后接名词用单数还是复数,比如:
是 one anther’s body 还是 one anther’s bodies?
是 one anther’s name 还是 one anther’s names?
谢谢解答!
你的问题可以分三种情况: ▲若后接不可数名词,该名词自然要用单数。如: Those two are always copying each other’s (one another’s) homework. 那两个人总是互相抄袭作业。 Come over for a chat so we can catch up on each other’s news. 来聊聊天,彼此好通通最近的消息。 ▲若后接名词本身只有复数形式,则该名词也自然用复数。如: The countries were locked in a trade war, refusing to allow importsof each other’s goods. 这些国家陷入了贸易战,拒绝相互进口货物。 ▲若后接名词为可数名词,通常要用复数。如: They fell into each other’s arms. 他们拥抱在一起。 They live in each other’s pockets. 他们两人十分密切。 但有时也可用单数。如: He said that the two countries had agreed to appoint more diplomatsto each other’s capital(s). 他说两国已商定各自多派外交人员到对方的首都。(《新时代英语惯用法词典》外文出版社 each 词条)
