而针对可数名词的检查则需要考生多留心，因为它是不能不变的。而很多中国学生都对此没有意识。下面请大家试着翻译以下句子，重点注意句中的可数名词。1．电脑改变了我们的生活

2．我喜爱集邮。

3．大城市的孩子

4．警方不愿介入调解夫妇之间的争执。

[提示答案]

1. Computers (A computer/ The computer ) have/ has changed our lives.就是不能说：Computer changed our life. ( )

2. I am fond of (I am keen on) collecting stamps.

3. children in large cities
