基础英语语法常见错误100例(1)

1. 我们大家都累了，休息一会儿怎么样?

误：We are all tired. How about to have a rest?

正：We are all tired. How about having a rest?

析：How about...? 在此用于征求意见，意为“……怎么样”，其后要接动名词(因为 about 是介词)。

2. 我收到了他的礼物，但我没有接受。

误：I accepted his present but I didn’t receive it.

正：I received his present but I didn’t accept it.

析：receive只表示客观上的“收到”，而accept则表示主观上的“接受”。

3. 湖面结冰了，所以我们就从冰上走过。

误：The lake was frozen, so we walked through the ice.

正：The lake was frozen, so we walked across the ice.

析：across 和 through 都可表示从一边到另一边的意思，但前者主要涉及平面(与on有关)，而后者则主要涉及立体空间(与 in 有关)。

4. 他不愿接受我的建议。

误：He wouldn’t get my advice.

正：He wouldn’t take (follow, accept) my advice.

析：表示接受意见或忠告，通常用动词 take, follow, accept, act on 等，但不能用 get。另外：提出建议或忠告，通常用动词 give；表示向某人请教或征求意见，一般用动词 ask (for)。

5. “你自己能修吗?”“恐怕不行。”

误：“Can you repair it yourself?” “I’m not afraid.”

正：“Can you repair it yourself?” “I’m afraid not.”

析：比较：I’m not afraid. 意为“我不怕”；I’m afraid not. 意为“恐怕不行”“恐怕不会”“恐怕不是”等(表示委婉的否定)。

6. 读罢此信，他哭了。

误：After reading the letter, tears ran down his cheeks.

正：After he read the letter, tears ran down his cheeks.

正：After reading the letter, he burst into tears.

析：after引导动名词作状语时，其逻辑主语应与句子主语保持一致。
