1. 我妹妹11歲。
誤:My sister is 11-years-old.
正:My sister is 11-year-old.或者 My sister is 11 years old.
析:在表示年齡的復合短語結構中,year只能用單數(shù)形式。
2. 我們非常喜歡在午餐時間聊天。
誤:We very like chatting at lunchtime.
正:We like chatting at lunchtime very much.
析:中國學生習慣于望文生義,“非常喜歡”不是按照漢字順序把它們翻譯出來,而應該是like sth very much。
3. 我常常坐公交車去上學。
誤:I often by bus to school.
正:I often go to school by bus.
析:by bus 是表示方式的狀語,不是動詞詞組,不能在句中充當謂語,因而要用動詞詞組go to school,再加上方式by bus。
4. 你能夠找到這個練習的答案嗎?
誤:Can you find the answers of the exercise?
正:Can you find the answers to the exercise?
析:the answer(s) to ...是固定搭配,這兒的to是介詞,英語中,to作介詞的例子不多,需強記,如the way to ...,the key to ...等。
5. 我們每天去公園遛狗。
誤:We walk the dog in the park everyday.
正:We walk the dog in the park every day.
析:everyday是形容詞,表示“每天的,日常的”;every day是副詞詞組,表示“每天”。句中,“遛狗”是動詞短語,需要副詞來修飾。
6. 你爸爸本周末想去看電影嗎?
誤:Does your father like watching films this weekend?
正:Does your father like to watch films this weekend?
析:“習慣上喜歡做某事”是like doing sth,而“本周末”是具體的某一次,應該用 like to do。
7. 明天你能把作業(yè)帶到學校來嗎?
誤:Can you take your homework to school tomorrow?
正:Can you bring your homework to school tomorrow?
析:take 是“帶走”,常用結構take ... to ...;bring是“帶來”,常用的搭配是bring ... from ...。
8. 謝謝你幫我找到了鑰匙。
誤:Thank you for help me find the key.
正:Thank you for helping me find the key.
析:for 是介詞,后面要跟名詞或動名詞作賓語,所以,要把help改為動名詞形式。
9. 我們有個好朋友叫杰克。
誤:We have a good friend is called Jack.
正:We have a good friend called Jack.
析:be called表示“被叫作……”,在句中通常作謂語;而本句已經有了謂語have,所以不能再用be called,這里的called相當于形容詞,作后置定語,修飾名詞friend。
10. 她每天花兩個多小時寫作業(yè)。
誤:She spends more than two hours to do her homework every day.
正:She spends more than two hours doing her homework every day.
析:spend+時間+doing sth是固定搭配,表示“花多少時間做某事”。
