老师好,they代词的单复数形式上可能不是对应的:

这个网站的句子:You’re going to need to set aside about three months to acquire a U.K. workvisa, but there’s never a guarantee that you’ll succeed in getting oneand they’re not cheap to apply for.
they前面没形式上是复数的名词,不过语义上倒讲得通,如此是适合的吗?
这种指代是语境照应。听话人依据上下文语境,了解你此时的they指的是UK visas.
they指代前面提及的复数名词,是后照应指代。
