说明
a light snow
核心问题
… and a light snow was falling. (Reading Laboratory, Book 2, p. 5)
词典解答
当 snow 作“雪”“雪花”解时, 是个物质名词, 例如, Rain falls in summer; snow falls in winter. 但是, 当 snow 作“具体的一场雪”时, 就转化为可数名词了:
-
It was bitterly cold, and a heavy snow was falling. (Sinclair) 天气真冷，正在下着大雪。
-
one of the heaviest snows this winter(LDCE) 今年冬天最大的几场大雪之一
