sales representative里为何sales是复数形式？
sale是动词还是形容词？
sales representative的复数形式是sales representatives吗？
谢谢！
sale是名词。动词是sell。在名词sale的很多意义中，有只用复数形式的使用方法，在这个意义上不可以用单数形式。比如《朗文》词典将sales作为一个独立的词条单列出来：
sales
a)[plural]thetotalnumber ofproductsthat aresoldduring a particular period of time 即一个特定时期的总销售额。
Britain’sretail salesjumped 3.2 percent in April.
sales of：Sales of automobiles are up this year.
We did not reach our summersales targets.
The company no longer releases itssales figures.
in sales：We grossed more than $500,000 in sales last year.
b)[uncountable]the part of a company that deals withsellingproducts 即一个企业的销售部
She found a job in sales.
a sales manager
a worldwidesales forceof 1,100
你问题中涉及的sales就是这里第二条讲解的意思。这个意义上没单数形式。
是的，sales representatives是复数形式。
