1. 你認(rèn)為明天的天氣會(huì)怎樣?
誤: What do you think will the weather be like tomorrow?
正: What do you think the weather will be like tomorrow?
析: 在賓語從句中,句子各成分應(yīng)按陳述語序排列,即將主語放在謂語之前,無需將助動(dòng)詞will放在主語the weather之前。
2. 如果你想瘦些、健康些,最好少吃多鍛煉。
誤: If you want to be thinner and healthier,youd better eat fewer food and take more exercise.
正: If you want to be thinner and healthier,youd better eat less food and take more exercise.
析: 在此句中,food為不可數(shù)名詞,其前不能用fewer修飾,而應(yīng)該用little(少)的比較級(jí)less修飾。
3. 那箱蔬菜掉進(jìn)了河里。
誤: The box of vegetables fell in the river.
正: The box of vegetables fell into the river.
析: fall意為“跌落,落下”,“掉入”,“墜入”應(yīng)該用“fall into”表示。
4. 不要把那個(gè)孩子單獨(dú)留在家里。
誤: Dont leave the kid lonely at home.
正: Dont leave the kid alone at home.
析: lonely意為“孤獨(dú)的,寂寞的”,一個(gè)人處在一定的環(huán)境中,會(huì)感到“孤獨(dú)”。 alone意為“獨(dú)自,單獨(dú)”,把“某人單獨(dú)留下”應(yīng)用leave sb alone表示,相當(dāng)于leave sb by himself。
5. 這個(gè)小男孩能自己穿衣服。
誤: The little boy can dress clothes.
正: The little boy can dress himself.
析: dress可用作動(dòng)詞,作“穿衣服”講,此時(shí),賓語不能是表示衣物的名詞或代詞,而應(yīng)該是表示人的名詞或代詞。
6. 我們誰都弄不懂這件事。
誤: Nobody of us can understand it.
正: None of us can understand it.
析: nobody后面不可以接of短語,而none后面可接of短語。
7. 你們將和一班打比賽嗎?
誤: Are you going to play with Class One?
正: Are you going to play Class One?
析: play with意為“和……一起玩”。若要表示“與……比賽”,就應(yīng)直接在play后面加上賓語。
8. 不要和別的男孩打架。
誤: Dont have fight with other boys.
正: Dont have a fight with other boys.
析: fight作“打仗,打架”講時(shí),為可數(shù)名詞,“have a fight with”意為“與……打架”,其中的a不能省略。
9. 這家商店的衣服很時(shí)尚。
誤: The clothes in the shop are in the style.
正: The clothes in the shop are in style.
析: “in style”意為“時(shí)髦的”、“流行的”,是固定短語,style前面無需用冠詞。
10. 他們住在一個(gè)叫桉樹村的村莊。
誤: They live in a village calls Gum Tree.
正: They live in a village called Gum Tree.
析: 一個(gè)名為桉樹村的村莊,應(yīng)為a village called Gum Tree,call是個(gè)動(dòng)詞,意為“叫做”,此處應(yīng)用過去分詞短語called Gum Tree作定語,修飾a village。
11. 你付給他多少錢?
誤: How much money did you pay for him?
正: How much money did you pay him?
析: “pay for”后面應(yīng)該跟要買的物品作賓語;表示“付給某人錢”,應(yīng)該用“pay sb some money”。
12. 她感到晚上很難入睡。
誤: She finds difficult to fall asleep at night.
正: She finds it difficult to fall asleep at night.
析: 動(dòng)詞不定式在find后面作賓語時(shí),應(yīng)用it作形式賓語,放在find和賓語補(bǔ)足語difficult之間,再將真正的賓語,即動(dòng)詞不定式(短語)放在賓語補(bǔ)足語之后。
13. 你妹妹工作得怎么樣?
誤: How is your sister getting on well with her work?
正: How is your sister getting on with her work?
析: how本身就是詢問程度如何,所以動(dòng)詞后面不需要再用表示程度的副詞well。
14. 我來給你提個(gè)建議吧!
誤: Let me give you an advice!
正: Let me give you a piece of advice!
析: advice是不可數(shù)名詞,其前不能直接用an來修飾。表示一條建議,應(yīng)該用a piece of advice。
