答案

因为,“have some difficulty” 表示“有某种困难”,“have some difficulties ”表示“有一些困难”,两者意思不同的
difficulty在做下面意思时是不可数的:
1.困难,艰难:
I had no difficulty in getting in touch with him.
我和他取得联系没有什么困难.
在下面几种意思时是可数的:
2.难事,难处,难题
There are a lot of difficulties that have to be overcome.
有许多困难必须克服.
3.争论
Labor difficulties grew.
劳工纠纷加剧.
在以下意思时本身就是复数形式:
4.(尤指财务上的)困境;危难
The new government is in financial difficulties.
新政府财政困难.
5.异议,反对
He keeps raising difficulties over the new project.
他对这项新工程不断地横加阻挠.
