work有“体力或脑力劳动”的意思，又有作为职业概念的“工作”的意思，是不不行数名词。

例句：

1、She has got a good job as a secretary.她已得到了一份当秘书的工作。

2、Once Im in America I can get a job.我一到US就能到工作。

3、Save major painting jobs for the spring or summer.【这里job意思是(一项)任务;(一份)工作，活儿】

名词work的三种用法

—Where does Mr Smith work?

—He works in a glass ____ around here.

A. work B. works C. working D. works

此题应选B。简单误选C，误认为：由于其前用了不定冠词a，所以不能选 work(由于不行数)和works(由于是复数)，D明显是错的。其实此题应选B，work有三个意思很简单弄混：

1. 表示“工作”，是不行数名词：

He has too much work to do. 他要做的工作太多。

2. 表示“著作”或“作品”，是可数名词，但多用复数：

3. 表示“工厂”，只用复数形式，但可表示单数意义：

类似地留意以下各名词因变为复数形式，而导致含义有变化：

green 绿 greens 青菜，蔬菜

wood 木头，木材 woods 小树林

manner 方式，方法 manners 礼貌

arm 臂 arms 武器

water 水 waters 河川，海，温泉

spirit 精神 spirits 心境

quarter 四分之一 quarters 军营
