要看表达的是什么意思,问的是“鱼类有几种”,那就用fishes。要是问“有多少条鱼”,那就是fish。fish本身不可数,但当“种类”讲的时候可数。
1.Never offer to teach fish to swim.不要班门弄斧。(原意为:决不要教鱼游泳。)
2.The best fish smell bad when they are three days old.久居别家招人嫌。(原意为:鱼过三天就要臭。)
3.He who would catch fish must not mind getting wet.不入虎穴,焉得虎子。(原意为:捉鱼不要怕鞋湿。)
4.There‘s as good fish in the sea as ever came out of it.纵然失去一个机会,不愁没有其他机会。(原意为:海里的好鱼是取之不尽的。)
