School fees, illness, house repairs and other_____ reduced his bank balance to almost nothing.
A.payment B.amount C.figures D.expenses
曹老师您好,我想请教一下,这里正确答案是D选项,我查字典时,看到“payment”有可数和不可数,不可数是强调支付的“动作”,可数时强调支付的“款项”,那这题如果A选项是payment的可数形式时,变成“payments" 做“支付款项”的时候,这道题可以选“payments”吗?
the free dictionary对expense的释义之一和例句为:
4. Something requiring the expenditure of money: Redecorating the house will be a considerable expense.
School fees, illness, house repairs 都是需要花钱的事项,而是花出去的钱。所以这里要用expenses,不能用payments。
