摘要：新托福独立作文写作学会技巧，拿到高分也不是那么困难了。而在其中如何掌握好自己的写作观点也是开始写作的基本要素。下面我们就为大家详解托福写作高分细节词组复数表达，希望能为你的托福写作带来帮助。

在托福写作中，在很多时候我们都会涉及到一些词组的复数使用形式。但是，想要正确的使用复数形式，不是简简单单的在词后加s就行了。在很多时候，我们还要学会合理的学会合理的使用词组复数，下面就为大家做个详细的分析。

举个例子：As you know, in English you generally make a word pluralby adding an ‘s’ at the end. There seems to be some confusion, though, about how to make plurals of terms made up of more than one word. For example, do you say bicycles shops or bicycle shops? Do you say power of attorneys or powers of attorney?

如果你要表示自行车商店的复数形式，你是用“bicycles shop”还是“bicycle shops”?在表示授权书的复数时，你是说“power of attorneys”还是“powers of attorney”?

The answers are bicycle shops and powers of attorney.

正确的说法是“bicycle shops”和“powers of attorney”。

The rule is that you pluralise the “head” of the term.

名词词组复数变化的规则就是：变“重点词”。

The term bicycle shop is typical of most noun groups. The “head” is the last word in the group. The previous word or words act as an adjective. So the last word in the group is pluralised. Here are some more examples:

“自行车商店”这个名词词组是一个很典型的例子。在这个词组中，重点词是最后一个词，即商店(shop);前面的词或者词组只是起到了一个形容词的修饰作用而已。因此，在这个词组中，最后一个词变成了复数形式。更多类似的例子：

Bank account => Bank accounts

银行账户

Company car => Company cars

公司用车

Price limit => Price limits

价格限制

Termination notice => Termination notices

终止通知

Service charge payment => Service charge payments

服务费收费

Employee share optionscheme => Employee share option schemes

雇员股份认购权计划

However, a term like power of attorney acts rather differently. Power is the “head” and of attorney is an adjectival phrase which describes the “head”. Here are some other examples of terms that behave in the same way:

然而，像授权书这样的词组就又是另外一番解释了。在这个词组中，重点词是权利(power)，律师(attorney)一词只是用来充当形容词的修饰成分。
