外国人学中文，最头大的有一项就是量词：What? 牛论头，鱼论尾，马是匹，羊是……太复杂了，我们英语多简单啊，a bull, a fish, a horse, a sheep!
然而这是一只动物，当动物以群的形式出现的时候，情形就相反了。A pride of lions, a murder of crows, a crash of rhinos...什么? 这是什么鬼?我们中文一群狮子，一群乌鸦，一群犀牛就好了啊!
其它量词也不少，比如：一条巧克力（a bar of chocolate）；一罐果酱(a jar of jam)；一串香蕉(a bunch of bananas)；一小撮盐(a pinch of salt)，不熟悉就会经常因搭配错而闹笑话，今天我们来最常用的英语量词。
