many 后面要接可数名词复数，Peruvian 表示“秘鲁人”时复数形式是 Peruvians；不能把 Peruvian 原形当作复数直接用在 many 后面。

Pronunciation & Spelling
No common English word fully rhymes with Peruvian /pəˈruːviən/. Peru shares the initial /pəˈruː/ but not the ending. Vivian and alluvial share parts of the ending (/viən/ or /uːvi/) but differ in stress or the final consonant. Persian, Slovenian, and Ukrainian are spelling lookalikes with the -ian suffix but have different vowel sounds, so they do not rhyme.
