foot 的复数可以是 feet 也可以是 foot,两者有区别吗?
龙老师:
▲foot 表示“脚”时,其复数为 feet。如:
I wear shoes on my feet. 我脚上穿着鞋子。
He is on his feet for sixteen hours a day. 他每天站16个小时。
He suffers terribly with his feet. 他的脚痛得不得了。
I walked into a pool of water and got my feet wet. 我走近一个水坑,把脚弄湿了。
▲foot 表示“英尺”时,其复数是 feet 或 foot。如:
Jim is six foot [feet] tall. 吉姆6英尺高。
The snow is three foot [feet] deep. 雪有3英尺深。
The tree is six foot [feet] around. 这树周长6英尺。
The table is six foot [feet] long, or about two meters long. 桌子有6英尺(或2米)
▲但在复合形容词中通常用单数。如:
a six-foot-tall man 6英尺高的人
