my foot有复数含义吗

来源:www.xabaochu.com 2025-02-13

老师好!《牛津英语使用方法指南》第四版510页讲混合时态有个例句,我好奇一个小事:If I didn’t have my walkingboots on, I think I would have really hurt my foot. 假如把这个句子的foot挖空,那我肯定填feet,由于人有两只脚。原文my foot的意思是呢?说话人特指某只脚?还是用my foot指两只脚?

If I didn’t have my walking boots on, I think I would have really hurt my foot.

在不少状况下,单数名词特别是人的器官名词用单数,表示“类指”。本句指“脚”,而非“手”,即使是成双成对的,也常用单数,如:eye, ear, hand 等。用 feet 其实是变形,添加累赘。
