success作名詞可數嗎

  succeed的用法:

  他的計劃成功了。

  誤:His plan was succeeded.

  正:His plan succeeded.

  析:succeed 表示“成功”,是不及物動詞,因此不能用於被動語態。

  他終於把那個問題解決了。

  誤:At last he succeeded to solve the problem.

  正:At last he succeeded in solving the problem.

  析:表示做某事做成功了,succeed 後通常不接不定式,而接 in doing sth。

  又如:He succeeded in getting the job.(他謀到了那份工作),She succeeded in (passing) the exam.(她考試及格了)

  失敗是成功之母。

  誤:Failure is the mother of successes.

  正:Failure is the mother of success.

  析:success 表示抽象意義的“成功”,是不可數的;表示具體意義的'“成功的人或事”, 則是可數的。比較:Success does not usually occur early.(大器晚成),His new book was a great success.(他新出版的書獲得了巨大成功)。再比較:He has had great success in business.(他事業上很成功),He was a great success in business.(他事業上很成功)。
