中英之鑒 中式英語之鑒429

你是在尋找住處吧?

[誤] Are you looking for an accommodation?

[正] Are you looking for accommodation?

注：accommodation 是個不可數(shù)名詞，但在美國英語中常用復(fù)數(shù)，不過，無論英國英語還是美國英語，

accommadation 前都不可加不定冠詞 an。這個詞的意思是“a place to live”，指的是“(住宿用的)套房，旅館房間，住房等”。

復(fù)數(shù)(accommadations)的用法：[住宿(有時包括伙食)等條件;房間、艙位、坐位或鋪位等]須用復(fù)形，有

復(fù)念，常不可數(shù)。作“住宿(有時包括伙食)等條件”解，如： motel accommodations

The city has excellent hotel accommodations.

He\'s coming up here next week. I want to see about accommadations.

He wired the hotel accommadations directly by calling the Overland Park Ramada at 1-800-2 Ramada.
