易错句子He is in cast of the new film.
正确表达He is in the cast of the new film.
cast 表示“全体演员、剧组”时是可数名词,单数前必须有冠词或限定词(the/a/this 等)。汉语没有冠词,容易漏掉,故要补上 the。
grammar · medium
易错句子The film has many casts.
正确表达The film has a large cast.
cast 作“剧组、全体演员”讲时是一个整体集合名词,通常用单数,说阵容大小用 a large cast。many casts 会被理解为好几个互不相干的演员班子,与“一部影片的演员阵容”这一意思不符。
grammar · medium
易错句子She got the leading cast in the play.
正确表达She got the leading role in the play.
cast 指全体演员这个整体,不指单个角色;单个角色要用 role 或 part。所以 the leading cast 应改为 the leading role。
