All right, kids, I gotta get to work. If I don't input those numbers,... it doesn't make much of a difference... ---《老友记》 第一季 第一集
通常是用为可数的,但有时也是不可数的
eg.1,There are many differences between living in a city and living in the country(不同之处,差异)
2, make all the difference (非常重要;作用很大)
difference 可用作可数名词亦可用作不可数名词,常与介词 between 连用,表两者间的不同。
典例 :
It's hard to see many differences between the two parties.
很难看出两党之间有多少不同。(两党之间并没有很多差异。)
