study

1.可以说the study of Chinese，the study of law等，也可以说studies in Chinese，studies in law等，也可以说Chinese studies，legal studies等，但很少说Chinese study，legal study等。Chinese studies比the study of Chinese范围广，包括中国文学。

下面两句意思相同：

• He is engaged in the study of English.
• He is engaged in studies in English.

注意第一句里有the，第二句里没有the。

下面各句里都用studies，不可用study：

• He is continuing his studies.
• I hope nothing will ever interrupt her studies.
• My studies leave me little time for correspondence.
• Do you still pursue medical studies?

2.study有时指“研究的成果”，后面接of或in，如This article is a penetrating study of the D. J. Simpson case和The book is a study in Chinese culture。
