易错句子The poet wrote three bucolic about country life.

正确表达The poet wrote three bucolics about country life.

bucolic 作名词表示“一首田园诗”时是可数名词，前面有 three 这类数词修饰时必须用复数 bucolics。汉语说“三首田园诗”靠量词表示数量，名词本身不变，所以容易漏掉复数词尾 -s。

易错句子He is bucolic, a farmer who has never left his village.

正确表达He is a bucolic, a farmer who has never left his village.

bucolic 表示“乡下人、农夫”时是单数可数名词，作表语时前面必须加不定冠词 a。汉语“他是乡下人”没有冠词这一成分，直接对应过来就会漏掉 a。
