下面一句出自章振邦主编《新编高级英语语法》第652页:
The boy was run over by a motor car, as often happened in holiday season.
这里的 in holiday season 为什么不加冠词呢?比如说成 in the holiday season。
曹老师:
你的质疑是有道理的。用于holiday season时,season是单数名词,通常需要用定冠词的。
《麦克米伦英语词典》对此的解释和例句如下:
[SINGULAR] a period of the year when most people have a holiday
the holiday/tourist season:
It’s the peak of the holiday season, so the roads will be busy.
因此,该书用零冠词是错的。
