虽然action既能作可数名词也可作不可数名词,但在take
action词组中action
为不可数名词,所以该词组通常不说take
actions。例如:
《麦克米伦高阶英汉双解词典》
action
【U】the process
of doing something, especially in order to stop a bad situation
from developing or continuing
(尤指制止坏的局面发展或继续的)行动过程
take action (=begin to do
something to solve a parti
cular problem) 采取行动
We urge the authorities to take
action. 我们敦促当局采取行动。
《简明英汉词典》
