cattle是单数还是复数目录
cattle是可数名词吗? 如果是,那为什么要用计量词(a head of cattle)
cattle可数么

The cattle were grazing on the meadow.
【牛群在草地上啃草.】(过去式)
cattle是可数的,只不过它的复数形式和单数形式是一样的,都是cattle.
因为要表达吃草的不只有一只牛,所以用复数.
"cattle"是什么意思

n.牛;家畜;无价值的人;牲畜
需要注意的是它单数和复数是一样的,比如,一头牛, a head of cattle ,两头牛,two head of cattle, cattle是牛的总称,集合名词,two head of cattle则是固定短语

cattle是不可数的,这个词本身是个复数,词典上的英文解释是“ cows and bulls that are kept as farm animals for their milk or meat”. a head of cattle=a cow, twenty head of cattle=twenty cows
