英語典型語法錯誤100例(2)

11. 如果你能告訴我一些情況，我將十分感激。

誤：I’d appreciate very much if you would tell me something about it.

正：I’d appreciate it very much if you would tell me something about it.

析：appreciate(感激)是及物動詞，其后不能沒有賓語。為方便記憶，可將I would appreciate it if...視為一個固定句型。

12. 他安排我去機場迎接客人。

誤：He arranged me to meet the guests at the airport.

正：He arranged for me to meet the guests at the airport.

析：arrange(安排)后可接不定式作賓語，但習慣上卻不接不定式的復合結構作賓語，遇此情況可在 arrange 后加介詞 for(如上面的正句)或換成從句。如：He arranged that I (should) meet the guests at the airport.

13. 小孩喜歡像糖果和玩具之類的東西。

誤：Children like such things like candy and toys.

正：Children like such things as candy and toys.

析：such... as 是固定搭配，不要受漢語影響將 as 換成like之類的詞。

14. 昨天早上我的朋友來看我時，我還在睡大覺。

誤：I was very asleep when my friend came to see me yesterday morning.

正：I was fast [sound] asleep when my friend came to see me yesterday morning.

析：要表示“睡得很熟”，asleep 習慣上不能用 very 修飾，而用 fast或 sound 來修飾。

15. 他不為金錢和美女所動。

誤：He had no attraction for money and women.

正：Money and women had no attraction for him.

析：A has [holds] attraction for B這一結構表示的是“對B來說，A具有吸引力”，也就是說“A對B有吸引力或誘惑力”，即B喜歡A，而不是其相反。又如：Television has little attraction for me. 電視對我沒什么吸引力。

16. 她所謂生病只不過是避免見他的花招而已。

誤：Her illness is merely a device to avoid to see him.

正：Her illness is merely a device to avoid seeing him.

析：avoid后接動詞時要用動名詞，不能用不定式。又如：It was impossible to avoid being affected. 要想不受影響是不可能的。

17. 他們在機場檢查了所有行李。

誤：They examined all baggages at the airport.

正：They examined all baggage at the airport.

析：baggage 主要用于美國英語，英國英語中通常用luggage。兩者都是“行李”的統稱，不具體指一件行李，因此不可數，沒有復數形式，也不與不定冠詞或數詞連用。

18. 他知道她哭是因為他說的話。

誤：He knew she was crying because what he had said.

正：He knew she was crying because of what he had said.

析：一般說來，because 后接從句，because of后接名詞或代詞。但是由于 what he had said實質上相當于名詞(the thing that he had said)，所以其前應用 because of。順便補充一句，一般說的 because 后接從句，通常是指沒有引導詞的句子，因為 because 已是從屬連詞，本身已是引導原因狀語從句的引導詞。

19. 為了減肥，除正餐之外最好不要吃零食。

誤：In order to lose weight, you’d not eat anything among meals.

正：In order to lose weight, you’d not eat anything between meals.

析：原則上說，between 用于兩者，among 用于三者或三者以上。但若表示三者當中每兩者之間的關系時，要用between，而不用among。

20. 聽到這個好消息，孩子們都大笑起來。

誤：Hearing the good news, the children burst into laughing.

正：Hearing the good news, the children burst into laughter.

正：Hearing the good news, the children burst out laughing.

析：burst into 和 burst out 都可表示“突然進入某種狀態或發生某種情況”，但前者通常后接名詞，后者通常后接動名詞。
