呵呵，这个是一个惯用法的表现，人有上下两片嘴唇，所以才用复数形式。。

单独出现的时候，就需要加the，所以用the Earth，但是有the planet做修饰Jupiter，就可以看成the planet在后面Venus and Mars之前省略了。

surprise只是一个名词或者说动词，如果用作名词的时候，需要加冠词才行。所以这里只能用形容词，

奇怪的是，surprise在词霸的两种字典里都有adj的用法，比如：a surprise visit.

我记得TOEFL听力里也有a surprise party的用法吧。？

likui

surprise party是N.修饰N.固定用法，是指譬如某人生日时，好友为其保密筹办的party；

而不是这个party是惊奇的；

surprise查longman字典，够权威吧，只有N.和V.

surprised 或者 surprising 是adj.
