Here is a poem by Rose Fyleman. It is called “Mice”.
I think mice
Are rather nice.
Their tails are long,
Their faces small,
They haven’t any
Chins at all.
Their ears are pink,
Their teeth are white,
They run about the house at night.
They nibble 1 things
They shouldn’t touch
And no-one seems
To like them much.
But I think mice
Are nice.
Mouse – mice. Nearly all English nouns make their plural 2 by adding -s or -es. But there is a small number of nouns which make their plural in other ways. Mouse – mice is one of them. Send me an e-mail if you can think of others (peter@carterandrigby.freeserve.co.uk). We will have another irregular plural in the next episode.
Finally, a football result. FA Cup third round replay – Manchester United 5, Burton Albion 0. Sorry, Burton Albion. Maybe next year. Goodbye.
n.轻咬，啃；v.一点点地咬，慢慢啃，吹毛求疵
- Inflation began to nibble away at their savings.通货膨胀开始蚕食他们的存款。
- The birds cling to the wall and nibble at the brickwork.鸟儿们紧贴在墙上，啄着砖缝。
