　　【分析】

　　此题应选 C, 容易误选 A, 误认为hair永远不可数。其实hair这个词既可以是可数的, 也可以是不可数, 只是含义稍有变化：

　　1. 作为可数名词, 是指一根一根的“头发”或“毛发”:

　　Look at this, a hair in my soup.

　　你瞧, 我的汤里有根头发。

　　The cat has left her loose hairs all over my clothes.

　　猫掉的毛弄得我衣服上到处都是。

　　My father has quite a few gray hairs.

　　我父亲已有不少白发。

　　There is not a gray hair on his head.

　　他头上没有一根白头发。

　　2. 作为不可数名词“头发”的总称, 是集合名词：

　　I'll have my hair cut. 我要去理发。

　　He has blond hair. 他有一头金发。

　　She has a beautiful head of hair.

　　她有一头漂亮的头发。

　　The woman likes to do her hair in foreign style.

　　这个女人喜欢把头发梳成外国式。

　　试比较以下句子：

　　He has grey hair. 他满头白发。

　　He has grey hairs. 他有些白发了。
