改為：He previously worked in the Ministry of Finance. He comes, therefore, with a great deal of experience and expertise.
說明：experience 表示“經(jīng)驗”時，為不可數(shù)名詞，沒有復數(shù)形式；但表示“經(jīng)歷”時，則可數(shù)。expertise（專門知識）也是一個不可數(shù)名詞，也沒有復數(shù)形式。
句意：他以前在財政部工作過。因此他來的時候已有豐富經(jīng)驗和專門知識。
誤用：On their travels they indulged their hobby of collecting antique furnitures. As a result their home had become something of a museum.
改為：On their travels they indulged their hobby of collecting antique furniture. As a result their home had become something of a museum.
說明：furniture（家具）是一個典型的不可數(shù)名詞，沒有復數(shù)形式。

誤用：Now supposing there was such a piece of stamp, and supposing it was worth a million dollars. And supposing the man who owned it suddenly came into possession of a second piece of stamp, its duplicate. What do you think would be the valve of each of those two pieces of stamp?
改為：Now supposing there was such a stamp, and supposing it was worth a million dollars. And supposing the man who owned it suddenly came into possession of a second stamp, its duplicate. What do you think would be the valve of each of those two stamps?
說明：stamp（郵票）是可數(shù)名詞，其前可直接用不定冠詞或數(shù)詞修飾，也可用復數(shù)形式，而不能借助 a piece of 表示“一張”。
句意：假定有這樣一張郵票，假定這張郵票值100萬美元。然后又假定這張郵票的主人一下子有了第二張郵票，即第一張郵票的復制品，你認為這兩張郵票各值多少錢？
