誤用：When you are cooking it’s best to clear up as you go, instead of leaving everything to the end and having a terrible pile of things to deal. 

正確：When you are cooking it’s best to clear up as you go, instead of leaving everything to the end and having a terrible pile of things to deal with. 

說明：deal 表示“處理”“應對”“應付”等義時，是不及物動詞，此時要后接介詞 with。又如：How shall we deal with this matter? 這事我們怎么處理？I don’t know how to deal with him. 我不知怎樣與他相處。

句意：烹調時，最好是邊干邊收拾，而不要把活留到最后而剩下一大堆東西要打掃收拾。

誤用：Undeniably, political stability and human progress in the country depend greater economic success.

正確：Undeniably, political stability and human progress in the country depend on greater economic success.

說明：動詞 depend 表示“依靠”時，不及物，要表示“依靠……”，應后接介詞 on, upon。又如：Whether we’ll go camping depends on the weather. 我們是否去野營要看天氣。I haven’t got a car, so I have to depend on the buses. 我沒有汽車，所以我得乘公共汽車。Children depend on their parents for food and clothing. 兒童的衣食靠父母。

句意：不可否認，國家政治的穩定和人的進步都依賴于更大的經濟繁榮。

誤用：He took a cup of tea, and went on the story.

正確：He took a cup of tea, and went on with the story.

說明：表示“繼續做某事”，英語可用 go on with sth，注意其中的 with 不可省略。又如：Go on with the treatment. It is doing you good. 你要繼續進行這種療法。它對你是有效的。 The subject having been opened, he had to go on with it. 話題已經開始了，他不得不談下去。

誤用：Sixty years ago Melville was almost forgotten；today he is regarded one of America’s great authors.

正確：Sixty years ago Melville was almost forgotten；today he is regarded as one of America’s great authors.

說明：表示“把……當作……”時，regard的常用句式是 regard…as…，其中的介詞 as 不可省略。又如：He is regarded as the best doctor in town. 他被認為是本城最好的醫生。She regarded him as without principles. 她認為他沒有原則。

句意：60年前，梅爾維爾幾乎已被人忘記，而今天他卻被認為是美國最偉大的作家之一。

誤用：He insisted going back to his work rather than stay in hospital.

正確：He insisted on going back to his work rather than stay in hospital.

說明：動詞 insist 用作及物動詞時，其后只接賓語從句，但不用于接名詞、代詞或動名詞，遇此情況要用 insist on。又如：Since you insist on it, I will consider the matter again. 既然你堅持，這件事我將重新考慮。

句意：他堅持要回到工作崗位，不再住醫院。
