英语语法错点大全(二)

18. 你知道indeed的用法习惯吗

Which is right?

A. Thank you indeed.                              B. I’m sorry indeed.

C. I’m sad indeed.                                   D. I’m very happy indeed.

此题应选D。其余几项均可能被误选。有关indeed 的用法要注意；

1. 表示同意, 意为“的确”、“确实”, 多用来强调或确认前面或对方说过的话, 且一般用于简短答语中：

A：It’s cold. 天很冷。

B：It is indeed. 的确很冷。

A：Did you hear the explosion? 你听到爆炸声了吗?

B：Indeed I did. 确实听到了。

2. 用来加强形容词或副词(一般应有very修饰)的语气, 可译为“实在”、“确实”：

The results are very good indeed. 结果真是很好。

She sang very well indeed. 她唱得确实很好。

注意, 此时修饰形容词或副词的very一般不能少：

实在感谢不尽。

正：Thank you very much indeed.

误：Thank you indeed.

他的确讲得很清楚。

正：She spoke very clearly indeed.

误：She spoke clearly indeed.

3. 通常不用于疑问句中, 也不用于说明想法或期望的句子中：

误：Is he very angry indeed?　

误：I wonder if he is sad indeed.

19. 可说 hope sb to do sth 吗

a. I wish you ______ hard.

b. I hope you ______ hard.

A. to study, to study B. study, study         C. study, to study     D. to study, study

此题应选D。容易误选A。按汉语习惯, 人们常说“希望某人做某事”, 但按英语的习惯却不同：可说 wish sb to dosth, 但不可说 hope sb to do sth。如：

我希望你能帮助我。

正：I wish you to help me.

误：I hope you to help me.

正：I hope you help me. (hope 后接的是宾语从句)

类似地, 以下各句从汉语来看, 均属于“动词＋某人＋做某事”这一句型, 但英语习惯上却不用“V＋sb＋to do sth”来表达, 大家要特别注意：

他拒绝我去。

正：He refused to let me go.

误：He refused me to go.

他同意我马上离开。

正：He agreed to let me leave at once.

误：He agreed me to leave at once.

我建议他读读这本书。

正：I suggest that he (should) read the book.

误：I suggest him to read the book.

我建议他同我们一起去。

正：I propose that he (should) go with us.

误：I propose him to go with us. (www.hxen.net)
