误：In order to buy a few new furnitures, they had to borrow some money from their friends．

正：

Answer 1

答案：
解析：

答案： 　　In order to buy several pieces of new furniture, they had to borrow some money from their friends． 分析： 　　furniture是“家具”的总称，故不用复数形式，而且也不能用many, few这样修饰可数名词的词来修饰．说“一件家具”要用“a piece of furniture/an article of furniture”，“一套家具”要用“a set(suit)of furniture”等．在知道具体家具名称时最好说出具体名称．如：They have ordered a bed and two desks．他们订购了一张床，两个桌子．类似词语还有clothing, jewelry等．
