本身就是一个可变名词,即既可做可数名词也可做不可数名词。
tragedy有两个意项。
1.N-VAR 可变名词不幸;灾难;惨剧 A tragedy is an extremely sad event or situation.
例句:
They have suffered an enormous personal tragedy...他们遭逢了巨大的个人不幸。
Maskell's life had not been without tragedy.马斯克尔的生活亦有过变故。
即当特指某场不幸、灾难、惨剧,或泛指某场或某些不幸、灾难、惨剧时,tragedy为可数名词;当将不幸,灾难,惨剧看作一个整体的事件,不强调一场或几场时,为不可数名词。
2.N-VAR 可变名词悲剧(作品) Tragedy is a type of literature, especially drama, that is serious and sad, and often ends with the death of the main character.
例句:
The story has elements of tragedy and farce.这个故事兼有悲剧与闹剧的元素。
…a classic Greek tragedy.古典希腊悲剧
即当悲剧作为一种题材时,为不可数名词;当悲剧作为作品时,强调一部或几部悲剧作品,为可数名词。
