很多中文英語講解語法書把單詞一刀切的劃分為可數(shù)和不可數(shù)。并死記硬背。
其實(shí)很多單詞在不同的情況和語句的用法下既可以作為可數(shù)和不可數(shù)的。一刀切的語法解釋是中式語法的弊端。
這里就解釋一下,LOVE的可數(shù)用法給大家看看,在英語中的正確的運(yùn)用語法,不是死記硬背就可以了的。只有在練習(xí)中反復(fù)中才能做到(當(dāng)然,前提是你首先接觸到的是正宗的語法造句結(jié)構(gòu)來學(xué)習(xí))。因?yàn)檎Z言是活的。

"Love" is generally used in an uncountable manner, but you may not be aware that there is also a countable form. Many nouns can be used in both countable and uncountable ways, but one or the other is usually more common.
Here is a link to the Cambridge dctionary. Look at the last definition on the page. "U" stands for uncountable and "C" stands for countable. As you will see, there is more than one way to use the word. The definition reads as follows;"2. [C] something that you like very much: Music is one of her greatest loves."
In Naitive English Speaking Countries the use of "love" in the countable sense is also common,though not as frequent. The sentence pattern, "Must have a love of ...," is therefore considered appropriate and correct in most regions.
1- a love of geometric shapes
A person can be said to love a country, principle, or goal if they value it greatly and
are deeply committed to it. Similarly, compassionate outreach and volunteer workers' "love"
of their cause may sometimes be borne not of interpersonal love, but impersonal love
coupled with altruism and strong political convictions. People can also "love" material
objects, animals, or activities if they invest themselves in bonding or otherwise
identifying with that item. If sexual passion is also involved, this condition is called
paraphilia
2love
noun
1 [U] strong liking for:
I don't share my boyfriend's love of sport.
2 [C] something that you like very much:
Music is one of her greatest loves.(注意:在此,LOVE是可數(shù)的)
列子和A LOVE 用法:One of the first things every native speaker learns about English in school is that there is almost always an exception to the rules. That's one reason why being a native speaker gives you such a special advantage. You pretty much have to be a native speaker to know all the twists and turns of a language as complex as English.Infoplease had this to say:
"Love
10. strong predilection, enthusiasm, or liking for anything: her love of books."
http://dictionary.infoplease.com/love ;
Now, this didn't use the article "a", but please note that "of" was used (instead of "for") and that the meaning was the same. It also specifically stated "a liking for ANYTHING."
That page also had another entry which proved your lack of understanding:
"16.for the love of, in consideration of; for the sake of: For the love of mercy, stop that noise."
This proves that "For the Love of a Child" , Likewise, "For Love of Children" is not talking about "Children's Love." It's an organization that helps children!
The name refers to helping children because you love them. You should give money and support to them for the sake of the children. You should do it because you feel love for children (as I said, both phrases are used).
While commenting on the links I provided to you earlier, you seem to have conveniently forgotten to take note of the fact that many of them were provided simply to show you the use of "of" rather than "from."
he fact is that "love" was clearly used as a countable noun (with the article "a") in all those sentences and it was in an article you showed me.
But don't just take my word for it. Julie Wood is a literacy expert and an educational consultant. She had this to say:
"Instilling a Love of Words in Your Child - by Julie Wood"
"We also, together, developed a love of words."
"Instilling a love of words in children was not just an enjoyable way to focus children before their afternoon lessons."
"A love of words and a rich reservoir of word knowledge are essential for children."
