<< review queue entry 30667 - submitted by 'laohu489' >> Editor: Rich pointed that ABC says "metals" (uncountable). But it does in fact mean "a metal", and 種 is its correct measure word, as for all words that indicate a classification. Examples: 金、銀、銅、鐵、和錫......五金店所賣的不僅限於這五種金屬 not restricted to these five metals not "these five kinds of metal" 金是一種廣受歡迎的貴金屬 Gold is a precious metal not "gold is a sort of precious metal" 现在将1G的这种金属熔进10G密度10倍于它的另一种金属 ... this metal ... another metal. not "...this kind of metal... another kind of metal" |
