rest
1.rest统指“休息”,a rest是“一次休息”,rests是“多次休息”。take rest和take his(或my等)rest通常作“就寝”解,take a rest和have a rest作“休息”解。go to rest(就寝)不及go to bed普通。
2.the rest(其余部分)被当作单数或复数,要看所指的什么而定。例如:I have read a large part of the book, the rest is more difficult. 和I have about a hundred books, sixty-seven are in Chinese and the rest are in English.
