以下是引用nerakuhs在2009/1/18 17:43:00的发言：

如果是black americans的话，变成了 每本书都是由多名作者完成的。用a black american则是说 每本书都是一个作者，分别是JT，RW， RW。

a novel by a black american 的复数是  novels by a black american。这样避免歧义。

OG11上有道题，是说平均多少人有自行车，也是用单数a bycicle，如果用bycicles，则会产生歧义，变成拥有不止一辆自行车，具体哪道题我忘记了，找找看~~

niu~活学活用，正解！

一开始就看B里的including特别不顺眼，不过又不确定a black american,现在恍然大悟了~

这道题的a black American用法很规范。
规则：多个事物的共同特征，此特征可用单数表法。
具体的构句方法是：复数主语＋复数谓语＋单数宾/表语。
本题中：novels（复数主语） written by（复数） a black American（单数）
OG10－167（OG11－V－59）

Neanderthals had a vocal tract that resembled those of the apes and so were probably without language, a shortcoming that may explain why they were supplanted by our own species.

(A) Neanderthals had a vocal tract that resembled those of the apes

(B) Neanderthals had a vocal tract resembling an ape’s（正确答案）

(C) The vocal tracts of Neanderthals resembled an ape’s

(D) The Neanderthal’s vocal tracts resembled the apes’（B）

(E) The vocal tracts of the Neanderthals resembled those of the apes

OG10－252（ 14.      (25197-!-item-!-188;#058&002294)）
Three out of every four automobile owners in the United States also own a bicycle.
(A) Three out of every four automobile owners in the United States also own a bicycle.（正确答案）
(B) Out of every four, three automobile owners in the United States also owns a bicycle.
(C) Bicycles are owned by three out of every four owners of automobiles in the United States.
(D) In the United States, three out of every four automobile owners owns bicycles.
  （A）考点：词组。多个事物的共同特征，此特征可用单数表法。本题表示“四个美国家庭就有三个各自拥有一辆自行车”，谓语单复数形式需根据主语three out of four automobile owners中的three决定用复数，如果是one out of four owners，谓语就要用单数。表示“每四个家庭共同拥有一辆自行车”的方法是：there is one bicycle for (every) four automobile owners.同理，is是根据one决定的，可变为there are three bicycles for…，根据three用复数。参见OG10-167(OG11-V-59)和OG10-89(D-22)。
(E) Out of every four owners of automobiles in the United States, bicycles are also owned by three.

lcy发表了很多“原创性”的观点啊！强烈支持你....

且这类句子似乎不能改为被动语态：

a vocal tract is owned by Neanderthals ;a bicycle is owned by three out of four owners.好象是在说一个tract/bicycle同时被很多人拥有。而原句的意思是每个人都拥有一个。

如果改成复数：vocal tracts are owned by Neanderthals ;bicycles are owned by three out of four owners.又好像一个人同时拥有很多个tracts/bicycles;还是不符合原义。


希望听听其他人的见解...
