“五星酒店”到底是“five star”还是复数“five stars”？

我们出门在外肯定是避免不了住酒店的，虽然好像还没有住过五星级的酒店，但是关于五星级酒店的小知识还是需要掌握的，所以赶紧跟随小编来学习一下吧~

五星级的正确表达是：Five-star

If you change the word order, you have to add or remove the “s” from stars:如果你改变词序，你就必须添加或删除s：

✦That hotel is rated five stars.那家酒店被评为五星级。

✦We stayed at a five-star hotel.我们住在一家五星级酒店。

This is because "star" is functioning as an adjective, and not as a noun. You can say that you saw "Five stars" shining in the sky. But when a noun like hotel follows the word "star" , you say, "I had dinner in a three star hotel". You do not say, "three stars hotel". Similarly, you say, "I want five rupees". But when the word "rupees" is followed by the noun "coin" or "note" , you say, "I need a five rupee coinnote". You do not say, "five rupees note". Joggers talk about a "twenty-mile marathon", and not a "twenty miles marathon".

这是因为star是形容词，而不是名词。你可以说“你看到了five stars在天空中闪耀”。但是当像hotel这样的名词跟在star后面时，你会说，“I had dinner in a three star hotel”。你不会说，“three stars hotel”。同样地，你说，“I want five rupees”。但是，当单词“卢比”后面跟名词“coin”或“note”时，你就会说，“I need a five rupee coinnote.”。你不能说“five rupees note”。慢跑者说“twenty-mile marathon”，而不是“twenty miles marathon”

Similarly:类似的

★That house has five bedrooms.那所房子有五间卧室。★That’s a five-bedroom house. (NO “s” on “five-bedroom.”)那是一个有五间卧室的房子。(five-bedroom后没有s)
