work/works ³

要知道,作“著作”解的 work 除用作可数名词之外,还可用作不可数名词,后一用法虽然在一般辞书中不易查到,但在英语原著中却是时而可见的。work/works $^{1,2}$ 条中的例句试题就是有力的证据。因此,选项 A 也是可以接受的。再请对比下列实例: We must conclude from the work of those who have studied the origin of life, that given a planet only approximately like our own, life is almost certain to start. (New Concept English, Book 4, p.178) 根据研究生命起源的科学家们的著作,我们一定会得出这样的结论:如果有一颗行星的条件与地球大致相似,那么那里几乎可以肯定会有生命诞生。
