名词 clothes clothing 的用法补充

一、clothes 用法补充

1.是衣服的统称,不仅包括coat, shirt, dress等这样的“衣服”,而且还包括 trousers, socks等穿在身上的所有东西。

2.表示“衣服”,是一个没有单数形式的复数名词,其前不可加不定冠词,也不可加数词,但可用 some, these, those, many, (a) few等词修饰。如:

I need to buy some clothes. 我需要买些衣服。

These clothes wash well. 这些衣服经洗。

You look rather shabby in those clothes. 你穿着那种衣服显得很寒酸。

As a student she lived very economically, rarely going out and buying very few clothes. 作为学生,她过得很节约,很少外出,也难得买衣服。

3.虽然不受数词的修饰,但使用代词时可用ones。如:

When he got a job in a bank, he had to wear formal clothes instead of informal ones. 他在银行谋了份工作后不得不把非正式衣服换成正式衣服。

4.可受某些名词修饰,表示不同用途的衣服,如school clothes(校服),sports clothes(运动服),work clothes(工作服),play clothes(休闲服)等。

它还可以受季节名词修饰,表示不同季节穿的服装,如spring clothes(春装)、summer clothes(夏装)、autumn clothes(秋装)、winter clothes(冬装)。

另外还有men’s clothes(男装),women’s clothes(女装),children’s clothes(童装)等,但是“婴儿服装”却是baby clothes,通常不说babies’ clothes
