名词baggage与luggage用法补充
1. baggage主要用于美国英语中,英国英语中通常用luggage。两者均用于统指“行李”,不具体指一件行李,因此不可数,既不能与不定冠词连用,也没有复数形式。如:
20 kg of luggage is the maximum we allow on the flight. 航班乘客最多可携带20千克的行李。
Baggage loaded onto an aircraft must be evenly distributed. 飞机载运的行李应均匀放置在各个部位。
即使受到all, some等的修饰,也不能用复数形式。如:
They examined all baggage at the airport. 他们在机场检查了所有行李。
2. 可用much, little, a little, a lot of, lots of, a large amount of等修饰,但不能用many, few, a few, several等修饰。如:
You’ve got a lot of luggage! 你的行李可真多呀!
“Have you brought much luggage?” “No, not much.”“你带了很多行李吗?”“不,不多。”
The railroad gives free transportation for a certain amount of baggage. 一定量的行李铁路运送是免费的。
3. 若要表示几件行李,要借助piece或article。如:
five pieces [articles] of baggage 5件行李
How many pieces of baggage have you got? 你有几件行李?
4. 用于短语bag and baggage,意为“带着全部财物”(常指突然地或秘密地)。如:
Her tenant left, bag and baggage, without paying the rent. 她的房客未付房租就带着全部财物离去了。
