The long noodles are the symbol of long life 这句话对吗?

问题描述:

The long noodles are the symbol of long life 这句话对吗?
主语是复数时(long noodles),谓语一定得用复数吗?are后面的名词一定是复数吗?为什么我最喜欢的水果是苹果这句话可翻译为:Apples are my favorite food,这里的food是单数啊.

此句在具体某一场合是正确的
泛指的话,应该是:
Long noodles are the symbol of long life
Long noodles 名词复数表泛指时前不用冠词
are 后也可以是单数,见下:
The Chinese people are a hardworking people.
