1. 多虧你的幫助，我才能游得很好。

【誤】Thanks for your help， I am able to swim very well.

【正】Thanks to your help， I am able to swim very well.

【析】thanks for意為“因……而感謝”，而thanks to意為“幸虧;由于;因?yàn)椤?，后面可以接sb.或sth.。

2. 長(zhǎng)途步行后，他的水用光了。

【誤】He ran out his water after a long walk.

【正】He ran out of his water after a long walk.

【析】run out表示“被用完;被耗盡”，主語(yǔ)通常是表示時(shí)間、金錢(qián)、食物等的名詞;run out of sth.意為“用完某物;耗盡某物”，主語(yǔ)通常是人。

3. 讓我們?nèi)メt(yī)院看望孩子們吧，讓他們高興起來(lái)。

【誤】Lets visit the kids in hospital and cheer up them.

【正】Lets visit the kids in hospital and cheer them up.

【析】cheer up意為“（使）變得更高興;振奮起來(lái)”，既可以單獨(dú)使用，也可以后接賓語(yǔ)。后面接代詞作賓語(yǔ)時(shí)，代詞須置于cheer和up之間。

4. 他們住在山上的小屋里，感到孤獨(dú)。

【誤】They feel alone living in a small house on the hill.

【正】They feel lonely living in a small house on the hill.

【析】alone作形容詞時(shí)，意為“單獨(dú)的;獨(dú)自的”;alone作副詞時(shí)，意為“獨(dú)自地;單獨(dú)地”，強(qiáng)調(diào)客觀(guān)上一個(gè)人。lonely作形容詞，意為“孤獨(dú)的;寂寞的”，強(qiáng)調(diào)心靈上的孤獨(dú)寂寞，在句中既可作定語(yǔ)，又可作表語(yǔ)。

5. 電腦技術(shù)使許多人在家辦公成為可能。

【誤】Computer technology makes that possible for many people to work at home.

【正】Computer technology makes it possible for many people to work at home.

【析】make it possible （for sb.） to do sth.意為“使（某人）做某事成為可能”，其中it是形式賓語(yǔ)，句子真正的賓語(yǔ)是to do sth. 。在此句型中，it不能用that代替。

6. 請(qǐng)把那本書(shū)遞給我。

【誤】Pass the book for me， please.

【正】Pass the book to me， please.

【析】pass sth. to sb.是固定搭配，意為“把某物遞給某人”，相當(dāng)于pass sb. sth.，故應(yīng)將for改為to。

7. 學(xué)校給貧困的孩子們提供免費(fèi)的午餐。

【誤】The school provides free lunch poor children.

【正】The school provides free lunch for poor children.

【正】The school provides poor students with free lunch.

【正】The school offers poor children free lunch.

【正】The school offers free lunch to poor children.

【析】表示“為某人提供某物”時(shí)，可以使用provide sb. with sth. /provide sth. for sb. /offer sb. sth. /offer sth. to sb.。

8. 這家人3天后將從大連返回深圳。

【誤】The family will return back to Shenzhen from Dalian in three days.

【正】The family will return to Shenzhen from Dalian in three days.

【析】return表示“回來(lái);回去;返回”時(shí)，相當(dāng)于go back / come back，return to ... from ...意為“從……回到……”。

9. 我哥哥比我大兩歲。

【誤】My elder brother is two years elder than me.

【正】My elder brother is two years older than me.

【析】elder作形容詞，意為“年紀(jì)較長(zhǎng)的”，只能用于名詞前;older是old的比較級(jí)，常與than連用。

10. 與那條路相比，這條路很繁忙。

【誤】This road is quite busy compared of that one.

【正】This road is quite busy compared to / with that one.

【析】compare意為“比較”，compared with / to ...意為“和……相比”，常在句中作狀語(yǔ)。

11. 在森林里散步怎么樣？

【誤】How about taking a walk in the wood？

【正】How about taking a walk in the woods？

【析】wood作“木頭;木材”講時(shí)，是不可數(shù)名詞;wood作“樹(shù)木;森林”講時(shí)，是可數(shù)名詞，且通常以復(fù)數(shù)形式出現(xiàn)。
