×I ate a sausage.
✓I ate a sausage / some sausage.
「sausage」作為食物材料或一般概念時為不可數名詞,指一根根的香腸時為可數名詞。說「吃了一根香腸」用「a sausage」正確,但若泛指香腸這種食物(如切片的、絞碎的),應用不可數形式,例如「I ate some sausage」。
×I want a pork sausage.
✓I want a pork sausage / a sausage.
在英文中,「sausage」通常已暗示其主要成分是豬肉(或其他肉類),因此「pork sausage」雖語法正確,但在日常點餐時略顯冗餘。直接說「a sausage」或「some sausage」更自然,除非需要特別強調肉類種類(如區分 pork sausage 和 chicken sausage)。
×The sausage's taste is good.
✓The sausage tastes good. / This sausage has a good flavor.
使用所有格('s)來表達食物的味道不自然。更地道的說法是直接用動詞「taste」或使用「has a ... flavor/taste」的結構。
×I bought a sausage from the supermarket.
✓I bought some sausages / some sausage from the supermarket.
雖然語法正確,但「a sausage」(一根香腸)在購物情境中較不常見,因為通常會購買多根或一定份量。使用複數「sausages」或不可數的「some sausage」更符合真實使用情境。
×Sausage is made from meat.
✓Sausage is made (mainly) from meat / with meat.
說「sausage is made from meat」雖然正確,但訊息量不足且略顯奇怪,因為香腸主要就是肉製的。更自然的說法會提及具體肉類或加工方式,例如「made with pork and spices」。若泛指,可說「Sausage is a type of processed meat product」。
