第20題
I heard there are many monkeys in this mountain. But I didn’t see any of
them last time when I was here.
中文說「山裡有許多猴子」、「山上有許多猴子」都可以,但英語習慣上說monkeys on
this mountain,不是in this mountain。只要一查Google便可證實這點:
關於"many monkeys in this mountain" -site:tw有2項搜尋結果
(這兩個例子仍是源自台灣)
約有236項符合"many monkeys on this mountain" -site:tw的查詢結果
約有231項符合"many monkeys on this mountain" -site:tw -site:cn -site:jp
-site:kr的查詢結果

1F:推 pop88pop88:我覺得google出來的項數並不能拿來當反駁的依據 07/23 16:08
2F:→ pop88pop88:這類型的爭議也許應該用公認的英語辭典為依據比較好 07/23 16:09
3F:→ pop88pop88:畢竟網路上的東西並沒有一一經過篩選認證囉 07/23 16:12
For mountains (plural), I'd use in.
For mountain (singular) I'd use on.

On!
