1. clothes 和 clothing 都可用作衣服的统称,但在用法上有差别:
(1) clothes 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, few 等词修饰。如:
正:those clothes / few clothes / many clothes
误:a clothes / two clothes / three clothes
(2) clothing 是不可数名词。如:
They wear very little clothing. 他们衣服穿得很少。
(3) 比较而言:clothes 的含义比较具体,而 clothing 的含义则比较抽象。从语体上看,clothing 比 clothes 更正式。比较:
I changed my clothes. 我换了衣服。
He is washing his clothes. 他在洗衣服。
Our clothing protects us against the cold. 我们的衣服可以御寒。
We are well provided with food and clothing. 我们吃得好,穿得好。
若不考虑其细微区别,两者常可换用(注:一个是复数,一个不可数)。如:
He spent a lot of money on clothes [clothing]. 他花了许多钱买衣服。
(4) 要表示衣服的数量,可用类似以下的表达:
误:a suit of clothing 正:a suit of clothes 一套衣服
误:an ariticle of clothes 正:an article of clothing 一件衣服
2. dress 表示衣服,有两种用法:
(1) 用作可数名词,主要指妇女穿的连衣裙或上下连身的女装,也可指小孩穿的衣服,但不指男人穿的衣服。如:
She makes all her own dresses. 她的连衣裙都是自己做的。
She was wearing a beautiful dress. 她当时穿着一身漂亮的衣服。
(2) 用作不可数名词,表示衣服的总称(不论男女)。如:
He doesnt care much about dress. 他不太注意衣着。
注:在现代英语中,dress 用作不可数名词的用法已不常见。它主要用来指某些特殊种类的衣服(如礼服等)。如:
evening dress 晚礼服 full dress 大礼服
national dress 民族服装 fancy dress 化装服装
