In BrEstaff (sense 1) can be singular在英式英语中,staff(第 1 义)可作单数:◆a staff of ten(= a group of ten people)职工十人or plural亦可作复数:◆I have ten staff working for me.我手下有十名职员。If it is the subject of a verb, this verb is plural.该词如果作动词的主语,动词用复数:◆The staff in this shop are very helpful.这家店的员工非常乐意帮忙。
In NAmEstaff (senses 1 and 2) can only be singular: ◆a staff of ten (but not ◆ten staff).在美式英语中,staff(第 1 及第 2 义)只能作单数,要说 a staff of ten(职工十人),而不能说 ten staff:◆The staff in this store is very helpful.这家店的员工非常乐意帮忙。
The plural form staffs is less frequent but is used in both BrE and NAmE to refer to more than one group of people.复数形式 staffs 较少用,但在英式英语和美式英语中均指两批或以上的职员:◆the senator and his staff (singular)参议员及他的工作人员(单数)◆senators and their staffs (plural)参议员及他们各自的工作人员(复数)
