初中英语典型错误100(9)

81. 她快快地吃完早餐就去上班了。

误:She had quick breakfast and went to work.

正:She had a quick breakfast and went to work.

析:若 breakfast若受到形容词的修饰,表示某顿具有某种特征的早餐时,则其前要用不定冠词。注:lunch, supper也具有类似用法特点。

82. 你至少要换两次车。

误:You'd have to change bus at least twice.

正:You'd have to change buses at least twice.

析:change buses(转车)中的 buses 总是用复数,因为既要下一辆车,又要上另一辆车。比较:change trains(转车),change seats(交换座位)等。

83. 同学们正忙于复习准备考试。

误:The students are busy to study for her exams.

正:The students are busy studying for her exams.

析:要表示“忙于做某事”,be busy 后可要接doing sth,不能接to do sth。不过,有时也接 in doing sth。如:He was busying (in) writing a report. 他正忙于写一个报告。

84. 这房子我已买了十年。

误:I have bought this house for ten years.

正:I bought this house ten years ago.

正:I have had this house for ten years.

正:It's ten years since I bought this house.

析:buy 是终止性动词,因此在肯定句中不能与一段时间连用。遇此情况,应改用其他相应句式。

85. 这个东西用英语怎么说?

误:How do you call this in English?

正:What do you call this in English?

正:How do you say this in English?

析:What do you call… 与How do you say… 意思相同,但搭配不同,即:call 与 what 搭配,say 与 how 搭配,两者不可混在一起。

86. 我们信任我们的老板。

误:We believe our boss.

正:We believe in our boss.(www.hxen.net)

析:believe sb 指“相信某人说的话”,believe in sb指“相信某人的为人”或“信任某人”。又如:I can believe him, but I can not believe in him. 我相信他说的话是真的,但是不相信他的为人。

87. 铃还没响,同学们就走了出去。

误:The students went out before the bell didn’t ring.

正:The students went out before the bell rang.

析:before 表示“在……之前”,before the bell rang指的就是“在铃响之前”,既然是铃响之前,当然就是铃还没响。也就是说汉语的否定意味已包含在 before 当中,所以该从句不再用否定式。

88. 他可能已经把这情况告诉她了。

误:He could tell her about the matter.

误:He can have told her about the matter.

正:He could have told her about the matter.

析:要表示对过去可能已发生动作进行推测,英语不能用“could + 动词原形”,而要用“情态动词+动词完成式”的形式。由于 can 表示推测不用于肯定句中,所以上面第二句是错的。

89. 你必须好好照看这些小植物。

误:You must take a good care of these little plants.

误:You must take good cares of these little plants.

正:You must take good care of these little plants.

析:care 用作名词表示“注意”“小心”“关心”等义时,是不可数名词,既不能用复数形式,也不能在其前使用不定冠词。

89. 老师进来时撞见几个男孩子在抽烟。

误:The teacher caught some boys to smoke when he entered.

正:The teacher caught some boys smoking when he entered.

析:表示意外地碰上某人在做某事,英语习惯上要用 catch sb doing sth,而不能用 catch sb to do sth。

90. 因为禽流感的原因,现在的鸡价很便宜。

误:Hens are selling at a cheap price because of the bird flu.

正:Hens are selling at a low price because of the bird flu.

正:Hens are selling cheap because of the bird flu. (http://ask.hxen.net/)

析:cheap 表示“便宜的”“价廉的”,一般用来修饰具体的东西,而不宜修饰像价格(price),工资(salary / wages)这类较为抽象的概念。要表示价格低,可用low修饰要表示卖得便宜,除可用 sell at a low price 外,也可用 sell cheap, sell cheaply 等。
