1. 我说两个小时的时候,那是包括了吃饭的时间。
误:When I say two hours, which includes the time for eating.
正:When I say two hours, that includes the time for eating.
析:许多同学往往想当然地认为在逗号后面总是用 which 引导定语从句,而不用 that。其实,本句中的 that includes the time for eating 不是定语从句,而是主句(that 用作主句主语),其前的 when I say two hours 为状语从句。
2. 你应该更注意练习你的英语口语。
误:You should pay more attention to practise your spoken English.
正:You should pay more attention to practising your spoken English.
析:有的同学们认为to后总是接动词原形,构成不定式。其实,此句中的to不是不定式符号,而是介词,所以其后的动词要用原形。
3. 几年前,对大多数中国人来说,在家里有一台电脑的想法还是不大现实的。
误:Just a few years ago, the idea to have a computer in one's home seemed very difficult for most Chinese.
正:Just a few years ago, the idea of having a computer in one's home seemed very difficult for most Chinese.
析:许多同学认为表示做某事就用动词不定式,这要根据具体情况来定。idea后面要用of短语说明idea的内容。
4. 尽管他只有十六岁,但是他已经学会用英语和外国人交谈了。
误:Although he is a boy of sixteen, but he has learned to talk with the foreigners in English.
正:Although he is a boy of sixteen, he has learned to talk with the foreigners in English.
正:He is a boy of sixteen, but he has learned to talk with the foreigners in English.
析:许多同学往往认为“虽然…但是”是关联词组。但although是从属连词,而but为并列连词,故不能同时出现在同一句中。类似的还有because和so,也不能连用。
5. 他迟到的原因是因为他没赶上早班车。
误:The reason why he was late is because he didn’t catch the early bus.
正:The reason why he was late is that he didn’t catch the early bus.
析:许多同学认为“因为”表原因就用because,但在此句The reason why…is that中that引导表语从句,无实际意义。
6. 他说他将尽最大努力学好英语。
误:He said he would do what he could learn English well.
正:He said he would do what he could to learn English well.
正:He said he would do / try his best to learn English well.
析:情态动词后只能跟动词原形。于是有的同学就出现了误句。实际上,此句中“学好英语”是“尽最大努力”的目的状语,应该用不定式。
