I knew immediately I was in one of those fancy food boutiques when I saw the sign over the express lane. Instead of reading “9 items or less,” it said “9 items or fewer.”
我一看在快速交款隊列上面掛著的牌子,就知道這是一家出售昂貴食物精品的商店。它不是寫9 items or less而是寫9 items or fewer。(注:按英語語法,應(yīng)該說9 items or fewer,可是大多數(shù)商店都寫9 items or less。)
