paper 的用法及固定搭配

paper

1.说“一张纸”和“多张纸”通常不说a paper和papers,却说a sheet of paper和sheets of paper。但papers往往指“多张纸件”(例如信函等)。例如:Do not disturb the papers on the desk. a paper和papers往往指“纸包”。例如:Pleae wrap it in a paper.和I bought two papers of pins yesterday.

2.a piece of paper有时是“一片纸”,有时是“一张纸”(=a sheet of paper),往往必须看了上下文才能决定。

3.put(或set)pen to paper(开始写)是习语,pen和paper前面不可加上the。

4.“当地的报纸”该说the papers。例如:What do the papers say about it?

5.“有格的纸”该说ruled paper,不说lined paper。
