speed是一可数名词

有人问到这样一道改错题:

(1)You read different things with different speed.

有人说different speed不可数,故而不错,对吗?

不对。speed在此是一可数名词,故而上述句(1)应改作:

(2)You read different things with different speeds.

复数形式speeds并不罕见,再如:

(3)My bicycle has ten speeds .

(4)This car is capable of reaching speeds of over 110 kilometres per hour.
