P262-266各种“纸”的英语表达①

paper

纸

我们常说的paper是指“用来书写的纸”或是“用于包装的纸”：A4纸A4paper。当它指一般的纸时是不可数名词，一张纸apieceofpaper;而指代报纸时则是可数名词。eg.Thepaperssoongotholdofthestory.

报纸很快就获悉了这件事的来龙去脉。②

napkin

[ˈnæpkɪn]餐巾纸

在英国会用serviette

[ˌsɜːvɪ'et]。这两个词都是可数名词，包含了布制的餐巾和纸制的餐巾。eg.CouldIgetsomenapkins?

我能要些餐巾吗？③

tissue[ˈtɪʃuː]面巾纸我们平时打喷嚏或者擦眼泪时用的纸巾被称为tissue，当tissue用来指代“纸巾”时是可数名词，但用来指代“组织”或“包装棉纸”时是不可数名词：一盒纸巾

aboxoftissue④

toiletpaper厕纸

一般我们称厕纸为toiletpaper，如果是一卷一卷的纸，可以用toiletroll表示。厕所正式场合可以用bathroom表示，那么厕纸也可以是：Bathtissue。如果遇到了“厕所没纸”的情况，可以用以下表达：

outoftoiletpaper这里的outof表示“缺乏”，比如“手机没电了”可以说“outofpower”。shortontoiletpaper⑤

wipe

湿纸巾翻译为wettissue有可能被误会为被用过的纸巾。湿纸巾的正确表达是wipe，而消毒湿巾就是disinfectantwipe。wipe是可数名词，作动词表示“擦拭”。eg.Remembertotakenappiesand

babywipes

史蒂夫·乔布斯被加州山景城的一个家庭所收养。还在中学的时候,他就对电子产品非常感兴趣,于是就给威廉·休利特打电话要一些部件,用于完成学校的项目。休利特给他提供了那些部件,主动提出让乔布斯夏天到惠普公司实习。在惠普,他遇到了史蒂夫·沃兹尼亚克。沃兹尼亚克是个非常有天赋的工程师,知识渊博,比还是中学生的乔布斯大五岁。他们之间的友谊为后来苹果公司的创建奠定了基础。III.Translation(P265)Example:Maryhasmanybooks,andJackhasmanybookstoo.Revision:BothMaryandJackhavemanybooks.
