英语中冒号后面的名词是单数吗

　单数复数都可以：

例1：There are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants， and the other is getting it. (人生的悲剧有两种：一种是得不到自己想要的，一种是得到它。)

例2：For our camping trip， I brought various essential items: a lantern， a sleeping bag， food， water， and a flashlight. (关于露营，我带了各种必备品：一盏灯，一个睡袋，食物，水，还有一个手电筒。)

　冒号的作用举例：

1、解释说明

例1：The English teacher wants just one thing from us: that we try our best. (英语老师只希望我们做到一点：全力以赴。)

例2：May I offer you a suggestion: don't drive without your seat belts fastened. (给你一个建议：开车一定要系安全带。)

2、承接因果

例1：I turned to look at the children， but there weren't any in sight: they had all run away. (我转过头去看那些孩子，他们却全无踪影：他们都跑光了。)

例2：We found the place easily: your directions were perfect. (我们找到这个地方毫不费力：你的导航太棒了
