问题: 英语单词

Similarity是可数还是非可数
1).There is much similarity between the twins.
2).There are sveveral similarites between the traditional and the moden family.
以上两个句子是否正确?如果正确,
那在什么情况下是可数的,什么情况是用不可数了?

解答:

similarity:
1.不可数名词:类似,相似
2.可数名词:相似之处,类似点
个人认为:这个词的可数,不可数名词可任意选用。只是意义上有所区别,以第一句为例:
(1)There is much similarity between the twins.译为:这对孪生兄弟很相似。
而:There are many similarities between the twins.翻译为:这对孪生兄弟有很多相似之处。
