an adventure/adventure

[flamboyant lad]

It's from Ice Age 3 Dawn of the Dinosaur movie.

Buck to Crash & Eddie: Boys, are you ready for adventure?
Self-made: Boys, are you ready for an adventure?

Which of the preceding sentence is correct mine or the original one?

 

[Biffo]

Both are possible. The first is uncountable, the second is countable.

If you say 'an adventure' it presupposes a series of events that will have a beginning, a middle and an end.

If you say 'adventure' it means that you can expect a series of exciting events that are not structured like a story.

Does that help?

 

[flamboyant lad]

Sorry, I didn't get it. Will you explain it with an example?

 

[Parla]

adventure with no article (uncountable) = excitement

an adventure (countable) = an exciting experience

Both of the sentences (the one you quote and the one you wrote) are correct.
