中式英语口语错误讲解

65. 大概有几个

[误] The old farmer has about three or four children, who have now grown up and are able to work in the fields.

[正] The old farmer has three or four children, who have now grown up and are able to work in the fields.

翻译：这位老农大概有三四个孩子，而且他们现在都长大成人，可以在地里干活了。

讲解：汉语可以说“大约有三四个孩子”，但翻译成英语却不行。因为about 后面不能接约数，而应该接确定的数目。即：要么去掉 about，只用 three or four；要么用 about，但后面接 three 等具体的数字。

What about three or four?
三点或四点怎么样？
