题目内容

为了买几件新的家具，他们不得不向朋友借钱．

误：In order to buy a few new furnitures, they had to borrow some money from their friends．

正：

答案：
解析：

答案：

　　In order to buy several pieces of new furniture, they had to borrow some money from their friends．

分析：

　　furniture是“家具”的总称，故不用复数形式，而且也不能用many, few这样修饰可数名词的词来修饰．说“一件家具”要用“a piece of furniture/an article of furniture”，“一套家具”要用“a set(suit)of furniture”等．在知道具体家具名称时最好说出具体名称．如：They have ordered a bed and two desks．他们订购了一张床，两个桌子．类似词语还有clothing, jewelry等．
