419. 你是在寻找住处吧?
[误] Are you looking for an accommodation?
[正] Are you looking for accommodation?
注:accommodation 是个不可数名词,但在美国英语中常用复数,不过,无论英国英语还是美国英语,
accommadation 前都不可加不定冠词 an。这个词的意思是“a place to live”,指的是“(住宿用的)套房,旅馆房间,住房等”。
复数(accommadations)的用法:[住宿(有时包括伙食)等条件;房间、舱位、坐位或铺位等]须用复形,有
复念,常不可数。作“住宿(有时包括伙食)等条件”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.
