初中英语典型错误100例
71. 这两本杂志你可以随意拿一本。
误:You may take any of the two magazines.
正:You may take either of the two magazines.
析:any 只用于指三个或三个以上的“任何一个”,要表示两者当中的 “任意一个”,应用 either。
72. 请其他人帮助你吧。
误:Ask else anybody to help you.
正:Ask anybody else to help you.
析:else(别的)与复合不定代词连用时,一直放在复合不定式代词之后,而不可以像汉语那样放在不定代词之前。又如:Do you need anything else? 你还想要别的什么吗?
73. 这个东西用英语如何说?
误:What’s English for this?
正:What’s the English for this?
析:English 表示语种或学科时,其前不可以用定冠词。但若表示“英语中的对应词汇”,则其前习惯上要用定冠词。此句若改为 How do you say this in English? 则不需要冠词。
74. 多数学生都爱用英语提问。
误:Most students enjoy to ask questions in English.
正:Most students enjoy asking questions in English.
析:enjoy(喜欢)后接动词作宾语时,该动词习惯上要用动名词,不可以用不定式。
75. 他力气不够大提不起这个箱子。
误:He is not enough strong to lift the box.
正:He is not strong enough to lift the box.
析:enough用于修饰形容词或副词时,只能放在形容词或副词的后 面,而不可以放在其前面。注:enough修饰名词时,则可放在名词之前或之后,如:We have enough seats [seats enough] for everyone. 大家有足够的座位给大伙坐。
76. 有人看见他与一个女性进了这座大楼。
误:He was seen to enter into the building with a woman.
正:He was seen to enter the building with a woman.
析:表示进入某一具体的场合、机构、建筑物等,enter 是及物动词,其后一般不接介词 into。注:若不是指进入某个具体的地址,而是指开始做某事或进入某各种状况等,则可用 enter into。如:Let’s enter into the subject of taxes. 咱们来讨论一下税款问题。
77. 我相信他们会借钱给大家的。
误:I believe them to lend us the money.
正:I believe that they will lend us the money.
析:believe 后接不定式的复合结构时,该不定式一般是 to be,一般不可以是 to do。如:I believe him to be honest. 我相信他是诚实的。
78. 今天是我爷爷的80大寿。
误:Today is my grandfather's eighty birthday.
正:Today is my grandfather's eightieth birthday.
析:汉语说“三十岁过生日”“八十大寿”等,其实指的是过第三十个过生日,过第八十个过生日等,所以此时要用序数词,而不可以用基数词。
79. 我可借用一下你的电话吗?
误:May I borrow your telephone?
正:May I use your telephone?
析:汉语中的“借用”,未必都可用 borrow 来表示。一般说来,borrow 只表示借用那些可以带走的东西,而对于那些不可以带走的东西则宜用 use。
80. 两个孩子都想去参加聚会。
误:Both of children want to go to the party.
正:Both children want to go to the party.
正:Both the children want to go to the party.
正:Both of the children want to go to the party.
析:both 后接名词时,用不需要定冠词均可,但在 both of 之后接名词时,则该名词需要有定冠词或其他表特指的限定语。
