见树不见林英文

wood，woods

Wood的使用范围较广，它可以表示“木”、“木材”、“树木”、“树林”等义;而woods一般只作“树林”解。

在表示“木料”、“木材”之意时，wood是物质名词，前面不能加a，wood也不能用复数形式。例：

The woodcutter collected two bundles of wood.

樵夫收集了两捆木柴。

The wood is rotting.

木头在腐烂。

All the furniture here is made of wood.

这里所有的家具都是木制的。

此外，wood解作“木料”时可作形容词，指“与木材有关的”或“木制的”;例：

This is a wood/wooden chair.

这是把木造的椅。

This is a wood plane.

这是把刨木用的刨。

表示“树林”之意时，英国人用a wood，而美国人(特别是在口语中)则用a woods。与woods搭配的动词既可用单数形式，亦可用复数形式。

There is a wood(s)near the house.

房子附近有片树林。

I'm fond of strolling in the wood.

我喜欢在树林里散步。

我们在树林里见到一片空地。

在英语中，wood(s)的成语用法不少，常见的有：
