下面是新概念里的一段,请问最后一句中的steps为什么不用定冠词?
Editors of newspapers and magazines often go to extremes to provide their
readers with unimportant facts and statistics.Last year a journalist had been
instructed by a well-known magazine to write an article on the president's palace in
a new African republic.When the article arrived,the editor read the first sentence
and then refused to publish it.The article began:‘Hundreds of steps lead to the
high wall which surrounds the president's palace.’The editor at once sent the
journalist a fax instructing him to find out the exact number of steps and the height
of the wall.

这是新概念第三册的一篇文章.
可以加定冠词the,特指总统府的台阶.
但是复数前不加冠词也是可以的,不影响句子通畅.
单数却必须有冠词,特殊名词除外.
