derives 用的是单数啊，alphabets 是复数啊。                                                                                                           另外关于the， the politician and writer  是指同一个人； the politician and the writer 是两个人。 这题同理，alphabets 是复数。you got me？                                                                                                                           个人之见，望讨论
