中式英语口语错误讲解

02：低屋顶的房间通风不好

[误] The air in this low-ceilinged room was stuffy and oppressive.

[正] This low-ceilinged room was stuffy and oppressive.

[翻译]这间低屋顶的房间通风不好，令人气闷。

讲解：虽然汉语中可以说“空气闷”，但是在英语中，stuffy 和oppressive 等的主语不能是air，而应当是某个地方，如theatre（戏院），classrooom（教室）等名词。 stuffy: 通风不良的;窒息的;闷热的a stuffy room 空气不流通的房间 oppressive: 压抑的;沉重的;烦闷的oppressive heat 闷热

The room was so stuffy that one could hardly breathe.
屋里太闷，憋得人透不过气来。
