Unit 3
⒈ 【friendly】張莉莉跟我們很要好。
誤:Zhang Lili is friendly to us.
正:Zhang Lili is friendly with us.
析:friendly to表示“對(duì)某人表示或采取友好的態(tài)度”,而friendly with 表示“跟某人相識(shí),與某人要好、交朋友”。
⒉ 【shy】別不好意思告訴我你想要什么。
誤:Dont be shy about telling me what you want.
正:Dont be shy of telling me what you want.
析:be shy of是固定詞組,表示“不好意思做某事、猶豫不想做某事”,用of不用about。
⒊ 【the other】請(qǐng)睜開你的另一只眼睛。
誤:Please open your another eye.
正:Please open your other eye.
析:another指三者或三者以上的另一個(gè), the other指兩個(gè)東西中的另一個(gè),your other在此等于the other。
⒋ 【so】由于天快要下雨,所以我們歇手吧。
誤:As it is going to rain, so lets stop working.
正:As it is going to rain, lets stop working.
正:It is going to rain, so lets stop working.
析:漢語中“因?yàn)椤浴保荒苡胊s…so,這是因?yàn)閍s是從屬連詞,so是并列連詞,兩者不能同時(shí)使用。
⒌ 【during】我生病期間,睡得不好。
誤:During I was sick I couldnt sleep well.
正:While I was sick, I couldnt sleep well.
析:during是介詞,不能連接從句,應(yīng)用連接詞while引導(dǎo)時(shí)間狀語從句。
⒍ 【relax】晚飯后,我們常常聽音樂來獲得休息。
誤:After supper we often listen to music and relax our body and mind.
正:After supper we often listen to music and relax.
析:relax是“身心放松、休息、休養(yǎng)”,本身含有oneself, ones mind, ones body,因此our body and mind是多余的。
Unit 4
⒈ 【police】警察正在追趕一個(gè)小偷。
誤:The police is running after a thief.
正:The police are running after a thief.
析:police作主語時(shí),謂語用復(fù)數(shù)形式。police作警察時(shí)相當(dāng)于policemen/policewomen。
⒉ 【dangerous】他在那條河里游泳有危險(xiǎn)。
誤:He is dangerous to swim in that river.
正:It is dangerous for him to swim in
that river.
析:dangerous用作表語“可能引起危險(xiǎn)的”,句子的主語對(duì)別人有危害,因此人放在后面。
⒊ 【sometimes】我有時(shí)給在上海的媽媽寫信。
誤:I sometime write to my mother in
Shanghai.
正:I sometimes write to my mother in
Shanghai.
析:sometimes“有時(shí)”,一般用于一般現(xiàn)在時(shí),而sometime表示“在將來或過去的某個(gè)時(shí)候”。
⒋ 【give】這是一本書,請(qǐng)給她。
誤:This is a book, please give her it.
正:This is a book, please give it to her.
析:give后可跟雙賓語,即give sb. sth.或give sth. to sb.,當(dāng)sth.用代詞表示時(shí)只能用句型give sth. to sb.。
⒌ 【wear】他經(jīng)常穿棕色的鞋子。
誤:He is often wearing brown shoes.
正:He often wears brown shoes.
析:wear“穿著、戴著”,表示某時(shí)某刻的狀態(tài)時(shí),用進(jìn)行時(shí)表示,當(dāng)指經(jīng)常性行為時(shí),用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)表示。
⒍ 【out】不要往窗外看。
誤:Dont look out from the window.
正:Dont look out of the window.
析:表示“從……里面向外”,可說out of,不可說out from。
⒎ 【newspaper】我在一張報(bào)紙上看到了你的名字。
誤:I saw your name on a newspaper.
正:I saw your name in a newspaper.
析:在報(bào)紙上(看到報(bào)道)用in the(a)newspaper,不用on the(a) newspaper。
⒏ 【news】這里有你的好消息。
誤:Here is a welcome news for you.
正:Here is a piece of welcome news for you.
析:news為不可數(shù)名詞,表示數(shù)量時(shí)用piece,如一條消息:a piece of news,兩條消息two pieces of news。
