一、首先应区分开 cloth 与 clothes / clothing：cloth表示“布”、“衣料”，是不可数名词。如： she bought some cloth to make herself a dress. 她买了些布要给自己做一件连衣裙。 表示用作某种特殊用途的布(如：桌布，台布，揩布等)，是可数名词。如： clean the windows with a soft cloth. 用块软布擦窗子。 二、clothes 和 clothing 均可表示“衣服”，用作“衣服”的统称，但在用法上有差别： 1.clothes 是一个没有单数形式的复数名词, 其前不可加不定冠词，也不可加数词，但可用 some, these, those, many, few 等词修饰。如： 正：those clothes / few clothes / many clothes 误：a clothes / two clothes / three clothes 2. clothing 是不可数名词。如： they wear very little clothing. 他们衣服穿得很少。 3. 比较而言：clothes 的含义比较具体，而 clothing 的含义则比较抽象。从语体上看，clothing 比 clothes 更正式。比较： i changed my clothes. 我换了衣服。 he is washing his clothes. 他在洗衣服。 our clothing protects us against the cold. 我们的衣服可以御寒。 we are well provided with food and clothing. 我们吃得好，穿得好。 若不考虑其细微区别，两者常可换用(注：一个是复数，一个不可数)。如： he spent a lot of money on clothes [clothing]. 他花了许多钱买衣服
