把“他又写了两本小说”译成英语,应该如何说呢?下面三句,有两句是对的,有一句是错的,请问哪一句是错的?
A. He has written two other novels.

此题应选B。other与数词连用时,要注意以下习惯。如:

正:There are two other books on the desk.
误:There are other two books on the desk.

正:Two other students have joined the League.
误:Other two students have joined the League.
正:Another two students have joined the League.
正:Two more students have joined the League.
2. 若特指(即其前用the),则数词可以放在other之前或之后。如:
把另外两本书给我。
正:Give me the other two books.
正:Give me the two other books.
其他三位乘客是妇女。
正:The other three passengers were women.
