战友的英文复数

【问】在“The whole nation was in deep sorrow at the news, for people had to come to love him as an inspiring leader and a wise, warm-hearted, honest man.”句中的warm-hearted 这个词是不是可以省略连字符？在什么情况下使用连字符呢？【答】warm-hearted这个词中的连字符是不能省略的。连字符的最大用处就是用来组合两个或两个以上的单词构成的词汇。举几个例子：Tom is an eight-year-old boy. (eight-year-old, 八岁的)They had a face-to-face talk last night. (face-to-face, 面对面的)It is a fifteen-minute walk from my home to the school. (fifteen-minute, 十五分钟的)在英语中，这样形成的单词一般作定语。如果不是作定语，则不能这样组合，并要注意单词的形式。对照看下面的一组句子。Tom is eight years old.They talked face to face last night.有时，虽然作定语，但没有使用连字符，其单词的形式也要注意。象“It is a fifteen-minute walk from my home to the school”又可以这样表达：It is fifteen minutes’ walk from my home to the school.当然，一些意义固定的常用词，如果加上连字符就显得画蛇添足了。如：Our classroom is on the third floor. (classroom中是不用连字符的)We have only two classes on Friday afternoon. (classroom中是不用连字符的)除了上述情况外，连字符还用在下列情形中：1．在英语的数字中，十位和个位之间要使用连字符；100以上的复合序数词中and以后的部分，分数的分子和分母之间也要用连字符。如：332 three hundred and thirty-two17165 seventeen thousand one hundred and sixty-five第152 one hundred and fifty-second (152nd)1/4 one-fourth/a quarter, 也可不用连字符表达为：one fourth3/4 three-fourths/three quarters，也可不用连字符表达为：three fourths2/3 two-thirds，也可不用连字符表达为：two thirds2．有些由若干个单词组合成的名词，也常用连字符。如：comrade-in-arms 战友 (复数形式为comrades-in-arms)runner-up 亚军 (复数形式为runners-up)forget-me-not 勿忘草 (复数形式为forget-me-nots)go-between 中间人 (复数形式为go-betweens)tooth-brush 牙刷 (复数形式为tooth-brushes)3．某些前缀和词根有时用连字符隔开，便于朗读。如：semi-independent 半独立的semi-conductor 半导体4．在进行英文写作时，连字符可用于将一个词的一部分进行换行，可根据音节把单词劈开。例如：re-marry, hap-py等。这样运用连字符时，连字符要置于上一行的末尾；如果是一篇文章的最后一个字，通常是不用连字符的。
