常見錯誤

×I bought three citrus from the market.

I bought three citrus fruits from the market.

「citrus」作為集合名詞,指柑橘類水果的總稱,通常不可數。當要指具體的「幾個」柑橘類水果時,應使用「citrus fruits」或具體水果名稱(如 oranges, lemons)。

×This drink has a citrus taste.

This drink has a citrusy taste.

「citrus」是名詞,修飾其他名詞時(如 citrus fruit, citrus grove)是正確的。但描述「有柑橘味道的」這個特性時,應使用形容詞「citrusy」。

×Citruses are rich in vitamin C.

Citrus fruits are rich in vitamin C.

「citrus」的標準複數形式很少用「citruses」。在泛指多種或多個柑橘類水果時,更自然、更常見的說法是「citrus fruits」。

×I love the citrus.

當「citrus」作為不可數名詞,泛指「柑橘類水果」這一類別或其風味時,通常不加定冠詞「the」。加「the」會特指某個具體的、前面提過的或雙方都知道的柑橘類事物,語境較特殊。

×The citrus's flavor is strong.

The flavor of citrus is strong.

「citrus」作為不可數的集合名詞,使用所有格形式('s)較不常見且聽起來不自然。通常會用「of」結構(the flavor of citrus)或轉換說法(citrus flavor)。
