小二英文題 (Urgent)

Erco

請問以下句式對嗎?

我見書有以下Examples, 無論pizza 一件 or 兩件, 'pizza' 都不用加 s. 是否因為pizza 是Uncountable noun 呢?

1. One slice of pizza
2. Two slices of pizza


又請問 以下那句是對呢 ?
1. Three packets of apples  

2. Three packets of apple

哦！明白，還有通常講 a packet of apple juice，a pack of apples。

我覺得如果 1 個 packet 裹只有 1 個平果，就是 Three packets of apple，但 1 個 packet 裹有多過平果，就是 Three packets of apples，請大家指點…

a packet/pack(美語) 裏有多個蘋果, 應是a packet of apples。"a packet"英語的意思是一小包,小盒或小袋內有起碼兩三個或以上相同的物件,  1 個 packet 裏只有 1 個蘋果, 英文是不會用a packe of ...的。而更不會 Three packets of apple等於1 個 packet裏只有 1 個蘋果。

Strictly speaking, pizza is an uncountable noun. So you don't normally say 2 pizzas. Instead you use a unit of measurement to represent. For example, two slices of pizza.

However, it is not uncommon to request two waters from a waitress in a restaurant nowadays. Instead of saying 2 glasses of water, it will sound more 地道. (Though not grammatically correct.)

BTW, apple is a countable noun. Otherwise, how can we say "an apple a day keeps the doctor away"?
