family表示“家人”、“家庭成员”时,在英国英语中作复数 ,在美国英语中通常作单数。所以,两个答案都可以。
各位老师好,向大家请教一个问题
Next week, Tom's family______to China, so they are now getting ready for it.
横线填A. is going to travel还是B. are travelling?
我觉得都有道理,因为A和B都可以,因为:
A:family看作是整体,后面用单数is,is going to travel表示将来
B:英式英语中family后接复数动词,所以用are,are travelling进行时表示将来,也与后面的they are now...对应
请各位老师指点,谢谢!

备注:以上只能选B答案,因为后面主语用了第三人称复数人称代词they(他们),they指代复数名词,所以这里family只能理解“家人”不能理解为“整体概念家庭”
Next Week, Tom’s family are travelling to China, so they are now getting ready for it.
下个周汤姆的一家人打算要去中国旅行,所以他们现在正在为此做准备。
备注: they指代Tom’s family(汤姆的家人),it指代“去中国旅行”
