transcendent 作名词时是可数名词(复数形式为 transcendents),指“超越、卓越的事物”。汉语名词没有冠词系统,学习者容易漏掉单数可数名词前的不定冠词;这里指“一个卓越的事物”,必须加 a,否则句子缺少限定词,英语中不成立。

易错句子The exhibition brought together many transcendent from different centuries.
正确表达The exhibition brought together many transcendents from different centuries.
many 只能修饰可数名词的复数形式,不能修饰单数可数名词。transcendent 作名词时复数为 transcendents,因此要变为复数,不能保留原形;这是汉语学习者常见的“数”标记遗漏错误。
transcendence 指“超越/卓越”这一性质或状态,通常不可数;transcendent 作名词时指某个卓越、超凡的具体事物,可数,复数为 transcendents。
transcendental 是形容词,用来修饰名词;要表达“卓越的事物”这一名词概念,应用 transcendent(名词),而不是 transcendental。
transcend 是动词,后面直接接被超越的对象;transcendent 在此义项中是名词,不能像动词那样带宾语。
trans-(跨越)+ -scend(爬升,源自拉丁语 scandere)

transcend + -ental(形容词后缀)
