in our daily lives还是life

各位老师好:

在沪教牛津版的7B教材中看到表达:Trees in our daliy lives,其中生活用的是复数lives,而不是life

在本网站查资料时,看到一个帖子说life在作“生活”讲时是不可数名词,所以“在我们的生活中”应表达为:in our life。看到这里有点懵,在in our (daily) life / lives这种表达中到底用life还是lives呢?谢谢!

你的例句当然是正确的,这个按正常的可数名词变化,泛指和单指时用daily life,前有复数意义修饰词时用复数 daily lives,特指加the,录几个词典和语法书的例句:Road transport has a considerable effect on our daily lives.<<Collins Cobuild English Usage>>Differently abled seeks to provide an affirmative alternative, to encourage members of theabledpopulation to appreciate the different skills by which those with a disability manage their daily lives. <<The Cambridge Guide to English Usage>>
