Countable nouns for food and drinks

Many food and drink nouns are uncountable, so the way to count them is to use the container that they are placed in, or say the part of the food that it grows on (e.g., head of lettuce). Here are some common countable nouns for food and drinks:


许多食品和饮料的名词都是不可数的。所以当描述它们的数量时,就要用装食品饮料的容器数量来指代;或者,如果这种食物是从某一部分长起来的,就可以用这部分来指代其数量(比如,生菜头)。以下是一些常见食品饮料的可数表达形式:


a can of beer  一听啤酒

a tub of yogurt  一小杯酸奶

a block of cheese  一大块奶酪

a tube of toothpaste  一管牙膏

a carton of eggs  一盒鸡蛋

a head of cabbage  一头卷心菜

a stick of butter  一条黄油


For example:


I grabbed a head of lettuce on the way out of the grocery store.在从杂货店向外走时,我拎了一头生菜。


My friend ran out to pick up a stick of butter so she can bake cookies.我朋友跑出去买了一条黄油,这样她就可以烤饼干了。
