Cattle are raised for meat, milk, and leather. 養(yǎng)牛是為了獲取牛肉、牛奶和牛皮。
2.要表示“牛”的頭數(shù),可借助 head(單復數(shù)同形)。如:
twelve head of cattle 12 頭牛
50 head of cattle 50 頭牛
當所表示的數(shù)量為十、百、千時,通常可省略其中的head of。如:
thirty (head of) cattle 30 頭牛
100 (head of) cattle 100 頭牛
3. a herd of cattle與a head of cattle 不同,前者指“一群牛”,后者指“一頭牛”。
