文法句型
uncounted + plural noun
用法筆記
Almost always used attributively (before the noun). In everyday conversation 'countless' is more natural; 'uncounted' sounds more formal or literary. Distinguish from sense 1 (NOT COUNTED), where the items can in principle be tallied — here the quantity is so vast that counting is impractical.
