说"换乘交通工具"的时候，你有没有脱口而出过"I need to change bus"这种句子？如果有，那可得注意啦！在英语里，当我们说换乘公交车、火车、飞机时，交通工具名称必须用复数形式，比如"change buses"、"change trains"。这可不是随便加的"s"，而是英语表达的铁规则！

一、核心规则揭秘：为啥要加"s"？

重点来啦！当表示"换乘"交通工具（公交车/火车/飞机等）时，英语要求名词必须用复数形式。这是因为你换乘的不是同一辆车/飞机，而是从一辆换到另一辆，涉及多个个体。记住这个公式：

change + 交通工具复数形式

典型错误：✘ change bus / change plane / change train

正确表达：✔ change buses / change planes / change trains

对比示例：

• ✘ 错误： You will have to change bus to get there.

• ✔ 正确： You will have to change buses to get there.
  （到那里你得转公交车）

二、各种"换乘"怎么说？

1. 公交车换乘：change buses

• 例句： Shall I change buses to arrive at your new house?
  到你的新居要不要转公交车？

• 例句： I changed buses three times to get to the museum.
  我转了三次公交车才到博物馆。

2. 火车换乘：change trains

• 例句： Changing trains at Beijing Railway Station is often confusing during Spring Festival.
  春节期间在北京火车站转火车常常很麻烦。

• 例句： You'll need to change trains at Shanghai for Hangzhou.
  你得在上海转火车去杭州。

3. 飞机换乘：change planes

• 例句： We changed planes two times to New York.
  我们去纽约转了两次飞机。

• 例句： The delegation will change planes in Shanghai tomorrow.
  代表团明天将在上海转机。

4. 有轨电车换乘：change trams

• 例句： I changed trams three times and finally got to the zoo.
  我转了三次电车才终于到了动物园。

5. 小汽车换乘：change cars / switch cars

• 例句： The robbers switched cars and got away quickly.
  劫匪换了辆车，很快就开跑了。

• 例句： We changed cars in the parking lot to avoid being followed.
  我们在停车场换了车以免被跟踪。

6. 出租车换乘：change taxis

• 例句： The road was blocked, so we had to change taxis.
  道路被封了，我们只好换辆出租车。

7. 自行车换乘：change bikes

• 例句： My tire was flat, so I changed bikes with my friend.
  我的车胎没气了，所以和朋友换了自行车。

三、高频错误解析

错误类型1：漏掉复数"s"

• ✘ You must change train at the next station.
  ✔ You must change trains at the next station.
  （你必须在下一站换火车）

错误类型2：用错介词

• ✘ We changed plane on Paris.
  ✔ We changed planes in Paris.
  （我们在巴黎转机）

错误类型3：混淆"change"和"transfer"

• ✘ You need to transfer buses here.
  ✔ You need to change buses here.
  （你需要在这里转公交车）

小贴士： 在英式英语中，"change"更常用；美式英语有时用"transfer"，但后面直接跟交通工具，不加介词。

四、旅游问路必备
