Pair as a noun can be followed by a singular or plural verb. The singular is always used whenpair denotes the set taken as a single entity: This pair of shoes is on sale. A plural verb is used when the members are considered as individuals:The pair are working more harmoniously now. After a number other than onepair itself can be either singular or plural, but the plural is now more common:She bought six pairs (or pair ) of stockings.
作为一个名词pair 后面可接单数动词或复数动词。 当pair 意味着把一套当成单个整看时,通常用单数形式: 这双鞋在打折 当把各组成部分当成单独的个体时, 用动词的复数形式:这对搭档现在合作得更加和谐 。 在一些而不是一个物体后,pair 本身既可是单数也可是复数, 但现在用复数更为普遍:她买了六双 (或 pair ) 裤袜
