sheeρ復數(shù)形式為sheep，中文含義為羊、綿羊；盲從者、隨波逐流者；當sheep表示羊、綿羊的含義時，是可數(shù)名詞；當sheep表示盲從者、隨波逐流者的含義時，是名詞的復數(shù)形式。sheep作為名詞可以表示羊、綿羊；盲從者、隨波逐流者；膽小鬼等含義。例如：1、They kept a small flock of sheep，他們養(yǎng)了一小群羊。2、Stone Age settlers fashioned necklaces from sheep's teeth，石器時代的移居者用羊的牙做成項鏈。3、The first task was to fence the wood to exclude sheep，第一項任務就是把樹林圍起來不讓羊進去。4、The shepherd boy waited for his sheep to drink，牧童等著羊喝水。5、The sheep keep wandering into the vegetable field so we shall have to fence them out，羊不斷地往菜地里跑，我們得用柵欄把它們攔在外面。6、Sheep kept getting tangled up in it and eventually the wire was removed，不斷有綿羊被那根鐵絲纏住，最后就把它拆掉了。7、The sheep always say they are careful, the cheapskate always say they are scanty，膽小鬼往往自稱心細，吝嗇鬼往往自稱節(jié)省。8、The politicians are like sheep, all afraid to act first, waiting to be told what to do，這些政客們都是些膽小鬼，害怕帶頭行動，就等著別人告訴他們做什么。在英語中，sheep作為羊、綿羊的復數(shù)形式時，不會發(fā)生變化，而當它表示盲從者、隨波逐流者時，通常以復數(shù)形式出現(xiàn)，以強調群體行為。
