个人认为:chocolate和cake一样,都具有可数和不可数两种特性。chocolate:如果是整版的,需要掰开吃的chocolate,一般看作不可数,而本来就是单个的chocolate,就看作可数的。cake:如果是整个的大块的,需切开分食的cake,一般看作不可数的,而成品就是小型一个一个的,就是可数的。
《牛津6版》:
a piece/slice of cake(在这个词组里不可数);
to make/bake a cake 做一个(完整的)蛋糕

当chocolate表示的是巧克力糖或巧克力的饮料时,可数;比如 A hot chocolate ,please.当表示巧克力的含义时,不可数;比如 a piece of chocolate 一块巧克力 ,a bar of chocolate 一条巧克力 ,some chocolate 一些巧克力. |
