jaB88.Comjoin?
[误]Didyouattendthefootballclub??
[正]Didyoujointhefootballclub??
[析]join经常用于参加某个团体、政党,并作为其中的一个成员;attend则重点强调出会议、到场,而不一定进行具体活动,如:Didyouattendthemeetingyesterday?而takepartin则强调参与某些具体活动或运动,如:Itakepartinthefootballgame.
?
just?
[误]Ihavefinishedmyworkjustnow.?
[正]Ifinishedmyworkjustnow.?
[析]justnow意义"刚才",所以句中的谓语动词要用过去式。?
[误]JustIwonthegame.?
[正]Ijustwonthegame.?
[析]just单独使用时不应放在句首,而应放于①be动词之后,如:Heisjustastudent.②名词与一般动词之间。③用在第一助动词之后,如:Ihavejustreturnedhome.但just与其他词组成词组时,如justnow,justthen,则可用于句首和句尾。如:Justthenhesawthebuscoming.?
justjustly?
just常用于三种含意:①恰好,如:Itsjustfiveoclock.②仅仅,相当于only,如:Ihavejustenoughmoneytobuyadictionary.③不久前,如:Ijustmissedmyoldfriend;Heleftafewminutesago.而justly其意为"公正的",如:Hewasjustlypunishedforhiscrimes.?
K?
keep?
[误]Shewaskeepingsomethingtoherfather.?
[正]Shewaskeepingsomethingfromherfather.?
[析]"对某人隐瞒某事"要用"keepsomethingfromsomebody"句型。?
[误]Hekepttorepeatthewordagainandagain.?
[正]Hekeptrepeatingthewordagainandagain.?
[析]keepdoingsomething为连续不断地做某事。有时可以与keepondoingsomething互换。它们的区别在于keepdoingsomething意为该动作一直不停地在进行中,如:Whenthetrainstarted,shekeptwavingherhand.而keepondoingsomething则表示该动作可能停停顿顿但却一直在进行中,如:Hekeptonmakingthesamemistakesingrammar.
[误]Wemustkeepupthetimes.?
[正]Wemustkeepupwiththetimes.?
[析]这句话意为"我们必须赶上时代",keepupwith是"赶上"之意,而keepup则是"坚持下去"的意思,如:Keepitup,dontstopnow!?
key?
[误]Ilostthekeyofthedoor.?
[正]Ilostthekeytothedoor.?
[析]英语中讲某某的东西一般要用of,而key,entrance,answer则多用to,如:"门的钥匙"为keytothedoor,"高速公路入口"为entrancetothehighway,"问题的答案"为theanswer(key)tothequestion.?
kind?
[误]Thiskindofbooksarenotgood.?
[正]Thiskindofbooksisnotgood.?
[析]kind在这种句式中应作为主语,如果讲Thosekindsofbooksareverygood.则是正确的。?
kindsorttype?
kind和sort为同义词,意为"种类",而type则为"型号",如:Whattypeofthiscardoyouwant?(你想要这种车的什么型号?)?
knock?
[误]Someonewasknockingthedoor.?
[正]Someonewasknockingatthedoor.?
[析]knock虽可以作及物动词,如:Thecarknockedaholeinthefence.但作"敲门"讲一定要用作不及物动词:knockat(on)thedoor.?
know?
[误]Iwanttoknowtoplaythisgame.?
[正]Iwanttoknowhowtoplaythisgame.?
[析]要注意英语中在不定式前加疑问代词或疑问副词的用法。如:Iwanttoknowhowtodoit/whattodo/whentodoit/wheretogo.?
knowknowof?
Iknowhim.为"我很了解他。"而Iknowofhim.则为"我听说过他。"同样的用法还有hear和hearof这一词组。?
L
?
large?
[误]Hefoundalargenumberofmistakeinhishomework.?
[正]Hefoundalargenumberofmistakesinhishomework.?
[析]"alargenumberof+复数名词",意为大量的。?
last?
[误]Thisisthenewestnews.?
[正]Thisisthelatestnews.?
[析]"最新消息"应为latestnews,因为最晚到的新闻才是最新消息,请注意英语与汉语的区别。?
lastthelast?
[误]Isawmybrotherthelastweek.?
[正]Isawmybrotherlastweek.?
[析]当谈到与目前有关的上月、上星期等概念时只能用lastmonth,lastweek,而不能加定冠词,thelast可用于表示一系列词的最后一个,如:ThatwasthelastChristmasIspentathome.但thelast可以用来表示持续到现在的一个长时期,如:Iambusyforthelastweek.?
late?
[误]YesterdayIwenthomelately.?
[正]YesterdayIwenthomelate.?
[析]late即可做形容词又可作副词;而lately则意为"最近的",如:Ihaventseenherlately.?
latelatterlaterlately?
late有两个比较级,指时间较晚应用later,如口语中常讲:Seeyoulater.(一会见。)而latter则指按顺序讲的后者,或靠后的,其反意词为former,如:theformerpresident(前总统)。又如:Icanunderstandthelatterpartofthestory.而lately则意为"近来"、"不久前"。?laughedatbyhisclassmates.中的at是不可省掉的。?laughover则指"笑着谈论"某事,如Welaughoverthefilm.(我们笑着谈论那个电影。)?
lay?
[误]Weliedonthebeach.?
[正]Welayonthebeach.?
[析]英文中有三个动词易混,在考试中也频频出现,它们的现在式,过去式,过去分词以及现在分词是:?
lay(?vt?.放)laidlaidlaying?
lie(?vi?.躺)laylaincying?
lie(?vi?.说谎)liedliedlying?
learn?
[误]Theteachersaid:"Youmuststudythispoembyheart."?
[正]Theteachersaid:"Youmustlearnthispoembyheart."?
[析]study与learn在作"学习"讲时,常常可以互换,但learn侧重于学习成果或初级阶段的模仿性学习,如:Thelittlebabyislearningtowalk.而study则多侧重于学习的过程,如:Imstudyingatthiscollege.而learn…byheart则是"记住"、"背诵"之意。?
leave?
[误]IllleaveBeijingtoShanghai.?
[正]IllleaveBeijingforShanghai.?
[析]leavefor一词组为"去某地",如对话中常讲IllleaveforShanghai.因所离开的地点是双方都知道的则可以省略。?
leaveforget?
[误]Iveforgottenmyhomeworkathome.?
[正]Iveforgottenmyhomework.?
[正]Iveleftmyhomeworkathome.?
[析]如果句中有地点状语则不要用forget,而要用leave.?
lesson?
[误]IhavetwolessonsofEnglish.?
[正]IhavetwoEnglishlessons.?
[正]IhavetwolessonsinEnglish.?
[析]"我有两节英语课。"这一表达法如上,但美国老师讲他有两节课时则多用"Ihavetwoclasses."?teachsomebodyalesson为"教训某人",或"要吸取教训",如:Letthisthingteachesyoualesson.?
lend?
[误]Pleaseborrowmeyourbike.?
[正]Pleaselendmeyourbike.?
[析]borrow是指"借入",如:Iwanttoborrowsomebooksfromthelibrary.lend是"借出",如:Icanlendyoumybike.而keep为"借多久":如HowlongcanIkeepit??
less?
[误]Hehasfewermoneythanshehas.?
[正]Hehaslessmoneythanshehas.?
[析]less是little的比较级,而fewer是few的比较级。要注意前者修饰不可数名词,而后者修饰可数名词。?
let?
[误]Theteacherletsthestudentscleantheclassroomasapunishment.?
[正]Theteachermakesthestudentscleantheclassroomasapunishment.?
[析]虽然let,have,make有相同的用法,但make和have含有迫使某人做某事的意思。
[误]Letsgotothepark,willyou??
[正]Letsgotothepark,shallwe??
[误]Letusgotothepark,shallwe??
[正]Letusgotothepark,willyou??
[析]Letsgo的反意疑问句是shallwe?而Letusgo的反意疑问句则是willyou??
life?
[误]ManypeoplelosttheirlifeintheSecondWorldWar.?
[正]ManyPeoplelosttheirlivesintheSecondWorldWar.?
[析]life作为"生命"、"性命"时应为可数名词;当泛指一般"生活"讲时则为不可数名词,如:Whichdoyouprefer,townlifeorcountrylife?又如:Lifeisnotallfun.?
light?
[误]Thereisadeskwithalitlamponit.?
[正]Thereisadeskwithalightedlamponit.?
[析]light有两个过去分词:lighted和lit,当用过去分词作形容词当定语时只能用lighted.?light可以用作名词,如:Themoongetsitslightfromthesun.也可以作形容词,如:Theclassroomisverylight.还可以作动词,如:Thelittlegirllitamatch.作形容词时还有"轻"、"浅"等意,如:Thisboxislight.Ilikelightblue.?
like?
[误]Mysisterisveryasme.?
[正]Mysisterisverylikeme.?
[析]as作为连词其后要接从句,如:Sheisagoodstudentashisbrotherusedtobe.而like是介词,其后接宾语。?
[误]Doyoulikeswimmingwithmetonight.?
[正]Wouldyouliketoswimwithmetonight.?
[析]like作为动词当"喜欢"讲时,其后面可接不定式也可接动名词,用不定式多表达一个一次性的动作,如:ImsorryIdontliketogoswimmingtonight.用动名词则表示一个习惯性的动作,如:Ilikeswimmingverymuch.?
likealike?
作为形容词,alike一般不作定语,而只作表语,如;Thetwinsareveryalike.?
[误]Wouldyoulikeswimmingwithus??
[正]Wouldyouliketoswimwithus??
[析]在wouldyoulike…这一句型中,其后面只能接不定式,而不能接动名词。?like的用法还要注意以下两点:①HelikesTom.为"他喜欢汤姆。"②HeislikeTom.为"他像汤姆。"第二句话的like为介词,而第一句话的like为动词。?
listen?
[误]Youshouldheartheteahcersadvice.?
[正]Youshouldlistentotheteachersadvice.?
[析]hear多侧重于听到某事或某种声音,而listento则侧重于听的倾向性。如:Welistenbuthearnothing.例句为"听取某人意见",所以只能用listentosomeonesadvice.?
little?
[误]Dontworry,thereislittletime.?
[正]Dontworry,thereisalittletime.?
[误]Thereisalittlewater.ShallIgetsome??
[正]Thereislittlewater.ShallIgetsome??
[析]要注意中英文在同一问题上的表达法是不同的。如中文"水不多了,我去取点吧。"英文要讲"没水了,我去取点吧。"?
littlesmall?
little与small是近义词,在作定语时常常可以互换,如:alittlegirl或asmallgirl,但little一般不作表语,如:Thecaroverthereissmall.一句中不要用little.作定语时little常常带有感情色彩,而small则带有对比的含义。?
live?
[误]Tomliveswithhisparentsmoney.?
[正]Tomlivesonhisparentsmoney.?
[误]Helivesonteaching.?
[正]Helivesbyteaching.?
[析]"靠吃某物为生"应用liveonsomething,而liveby是"靠某种生活手段为生"。?
livingalive?
living侧重于生活得很好,身体不错,如:Mygrandfatherisstilllivinginhiseighties.而alive则强调没有死而是活着的,如:Isthatcataliveordead??
lonely?
[误]Shewantedtodoherhomeworklonely.?
[正]Shewantedtodoherhomeworkalone.?
[析]lonely意为"寂寞的"、"孤单的",如:Theoldmanfeltlonely.alone则意为"独自的"、"单独的",如:Helivesalonebuthedoesntfeellonely.
?
long?
[误]Ihavebeenstudyinglongfortheexam.?
[正]Ihavebeenstudyingforalongtimefortheexam.?
[析]long用作表达时间的副词时,在否定句及疑问句中最常用,但在肯定句中除与so,too,as…as连用外,一般要用foralongtime.?
[误]Illcallyouaslongasthebookwillbereturned.?
[正]Illcallyouaslongasthebookisreturned.?
[析]as…as引导的状语从句中可以用一般现在时表示将来。?
[误]Howlongdoyougotoseeyourparents?Onceaweek.?
[正]Howoftendoyougotoseeyourparents?Onceaweek.?
[析]因为答语为每周一次所以问的是频率,要用howoften.
?
look?
lookforfind?
lookfor侧重于"寻找"这个动作,如:Whatareyoulookingfor?而find则侧重于结果,如:Itisverydifficulttofindajob.这里不能用lookfor,因为真正困难的是"找到"工作。?
其他用法还有:?
[例]Heoftenlooksbackonhishigh?schooldays.?
[析]lookbackonsomething为"回顾"、"回想"。?
[例]Iwishyouwouldntlookdownon(upon)thechildrenswork.?
[析]lookdownon(upon)为"看不起"某人或某事。?
[误]Imlookingforwardtoseeyou.?
[正]Imlookingforwardtoseeingyou.?
[析]lookforwardto词组中的to是介词,所以其后要加名词或动名词,不能接不定式。?
lot?
[误]Icanbuythisdictionarynow,becauseIhavegotmuchmoney.?
[正]IcanbuythisdictionarynowbecauseIhavegotalotofmoney.?
[析]muchmoney多用于疑问句与否定句中,而在肯定句中要用alotof.?lotsof与alotof之间无多大区别,两者都可以修饰可数与不可数名词,所以常常可以互换。?
[误]Heismorehappiernow.?
[正]Heisalothappiernow.?
[析]不可用more来修饰比较级,能修饰比较级的词有verymuch,alot,lots,any,no,rather,alittle,abit等。?
loudloudly?
这两个词含意相同,在日常用语中loud多与talk,speak,shout,laugh等动词连用,如:Dontspeaksoloud,youllwakethebaby.而在比较正式的场合才用loudly.?
loudaloud?
loud多指把声音放大,而aloud则指要出声不要默读。如:?-Whatdidyousay??-Oh,nothing,Iwasjustthinkaloud.(我只不过自言自语。)?
M?
make?
[误]Thelittleboywasmaderepeatthewholestory.?
[正]Thelittleboywasmadetorepeatthewholestory.?
[误]Thefathermadehissontodohishomeworkfrommorningtillnight.?
[正]Thefathermadehissondohishomeworkfrommorningtillnight.?
[析]make的句型为"makesomebodydo(doing)something".但在被动语态中原来被省去的不定式符号to要被还原回来。?
[误]Ialwaysdothismistake.?
[正]Ialwaysmakethismistake.?
[析]英语中do和make是十分不易弄清的两个动词,do常用于谈论工作时或某种不确定的活动时,如:doafavour(帮个忙),doonesbest(竭尽全力),dogood(有益),doharm(有害),而多数情况下常用make,如:makeasuggestion,makeacake,makeabed(收拾床),makeanoise,makemoney等等。?
[误]Thiswinewasmadeofgrapes.?
[正]Thiswinewasmadefromgrapes.?
[析]当成品制成后,其原料的性质有所改变时应用makefrom,否则用makeof,如:Thisdoorwasmadeofiron.?
[误]Hardworkcanoftenmakeupalackofintelligence.?
[正]Hardworkcanoftenmakeupforalackofintelligence.?
[析]makeup是"创造"、"编织",而makeupfor是"弥补……的不足之处"。上句应译为"勤奋工作可以弥补天资的不足。"?
[误]Wemadeupourmindtostudyhard.?
[正]Wemadeupourmindstostudyhard.?
[析]mind这里是可数名词,使用时要特别予以注意makeuponesmind是"下定决心"之意。?
[误]Ourclassismadeoftwentygirlsandtwenty?oneboys.?
[正]Ourclassismadeupoftwentygirlsandtwenty?oneboys.?
[析]makeupof…是"某物由……组成或构成"。?
many?
[误]Ihavemanyfriends.?
[正]Ihavealotoffriends.?
[析]many和much多用于疑问句或否定句中,而在肯定句中则用处不多,尤其在非正式谈话中。如:?
-Howmuchmoneyhaveyougot??
-Ivegotplenty.?
[误]Youboughtmuchtootomatoes.?
[正]Youboughttoomanytomatoes.?
[析]toomany后接可数名词,toomuch后接不可数名词,而muchtoo后面接形容词,意为"太多"。?
[误]Formanyaweeksitrainedalot.?
[正]Formanyaweekitrainedalot.?
[析]manya意为"好多"、"许多",但其后面要加单数名词
。?
matter?
[误]Nomatterwhatyoudid.?
[正]Nomatterwhatyoudid,Itrustedyou.?
[析]Nomatter是个词组,意为"不论",它的语法功能是起连接作用,所以不能用于一个单独的句子。?
itdoesntmatter这个词组则不是一个连接词组,所以可以和一个单句连用,如:It?doesnt?materwhatyousay.(你说什么都不要紧。)?
maybe?
[误]Maybeheisright.?
[正]Maybeheisright.?
[析]maybe是副词,不要错用为maybe.?
maybeperhaps?
这两个词的词意一样,maybe常用于非正式谈话,而perhaps则多用在正式文体中。如:Maybe/Perhapstheweatherwillgetbetter.而?JuliusCaesar?isperhapsthegreatestofShakespearesearlyplays.?
mend?
[误]Iwanttohavemybikemended.?
[正]Iwanttohavemybikerepaired.?
[析]mend意为"缝补",如:Mymothermendedmycoat.而repair是"修理"。?
mind?
[误]Couldyoumindtoclosethedoor??
[正]Couldyoumindclosingthedoor??
[误]Trytomakeupyourmindstudyinghard.?
[正]Trytomakeupyourmindtostudyhard.?
[析]mind用作动词时,其后加动名词;而用作名词意为"下定决心"时,其后要加不定式。?要注意DoyoumindifIsmoke?的答语:如果你不介意,应回答"No,goahead."如果你不想让对方吸烟,则应讲"Yes,pleasedont."?
miss?
[误]Ifoundmybagmissed.?
[正]Ifoundmybagmissing.?
[析]missing为形容词,其意为"不见了"、"丢了"。在句中用作宾语补足语时不要误用missed,它作动词时多为及物动词,要接名词或动名词,而不接不定式。如:Imissedthefirsttrain,Idontwanttomissseeingthefamousfootballplayer.?在作补足语讲某物"不见了"时有missing,gone,lost等,如:Ifoundmybagmissing(gone,lost).?
mistake?
[误]Itookyourpenbywrong.?
[正]Itookyourpenbymistake.?
[析]bymistake是"错拿了"、"误拿了"你的东西。wrong意为"错误",而bymistake为"弄混了"。如:?
[误]IfImnotwrong,youareMrBrown.?
[正]IfImnotmistaken,youareMrBrown.(如果我没弄错的话,您是Brown先生。)
[误]Theteachersalwaysmistookmeasmybrother.?
[正]Theteachersalwaysmistookmeformybrother.?
[析]mistake…for…是"错把……当作……"之意,如:Itookyourbookformine.?
more?
[误]Thisbookismorebetterthanthatone.?
[正]Thisbookismuchbetterthanthatone.?
[析]不能用比较级来修饰比较级,而应用much,rather等来修饰比较级。?
[误]Moreyouread,moreyoulearn.?
[正]Themoreyouread,themoreyoulearn.?
[析]在"越……越……的"表达法中,形容词的比较级前要加定冠词。请注意morethanone这个词组的后面要跟单数名词和单数谓语动词。如:Morethanonestudentisgoingtodoparttimejobafterschool.?
nomorethannotmorethan?
nomorethan应译为"只不过"、"才",如:Hewrotenomorethanthreebooks.即他真正写了三本书。而notmorethan则意为"不会多于",如:Hewrotenotmorethanthreebooks.即他写的书不会多于三本。又如:Heisnoshorterthanyou.应译为"你和他都不矮",而Heisnotshorterthanyou.才应译为"他比你高。"?
most?
[误]MostofstudentsaregoodatEnglish.?
[正]MostofthestudentsaregoodatEnglish.?
[正]MoststudentsaregoodatEnglish.?
[析]mostof这一结构后面的名词前一定要有一个限定词。?
[误]Myfriendsaremostteachers.?
[正]Myfriendsaremostlyteachers.?
[析]mostly意为"大部分的","主要的"。?
much?
[误]Theboywasasleepverymuch.?
[正]Theboywasfastasleep.?
[析]不是所有的形容词都可以用very来修饰,如fastasleep意为"熟睡",则是固定搭配。像interesting,exciting,surprising这些形容词化的现在分词,以及tired,interested这些形容词化的过去分词则要用very来修饰。?
must?
[误]Hemustbeintheoffice,andmustntgohome.?
[正]Hemustbeintheoffice,andcantgohome.?
[析]must加动词原形为对事情的肯定推测,而否定的推测则要用cant加动词原形。?
[误]Itmusthaverainednow.?
[正]Itmusthaverainedyesterday.?
[析]"must+have+过去分词"为对过去发生事情的推测。这句话应译为"昨天一定是下雨了。"又如:Imustgoandcallhim.Hemusthaveforgottenit.?
musthaveto?
must用来表示说话者觉得某件事有必要去做,如Imuststopsmoking.其意为:我自己认为我要戒烟;而haveto则多用来表达由于来自外界的因素而不得不去做的事,如:Ihavetogotoschooltomorrow.?must无过去式,当用在讲过去某件必须要做的事时要用hadto,如:WhenIwasyoung,Ihadtogotothefactory.?在否定句中mustnt意为:一定不要做某事,如:YoumustnttellthistoTom.而haventto则多意为没有必要去做,如:YoudonthavetotellthistoTom.而英语中多用neednt来取代haventto.?
myself?
[误]Icantplayping?pongmyself.?
[正]Icantplayping?pongbymyself.?
[析]第一句并无语法错误,myself为"我亲自要去",而bymyself为"独自一人"。这句话要表达的意思是"我一个人无法打乒乓球。"而Iwanttoplayping?pongmyself.应译为"我自己想去打乒乓球。"?
N?
name?
[误]Shewasnamedofaflower.?
[正]Shewasnamedafteraflower.?
[析]以……命名应为nameafter,又如给某人取名应为ThefathernamedhissonTom.?
near?
[误]Wecameneartohithim.?
[正]Wecameneartohittinghim.?
[析]这句话应译为"我们几乎要打他一顿。"nearto这一用法中to为介词,其后要接宾语,所以要接名词或动名词。near作介词时其后可加to也可不加to,如:Isitnearthedoor,Isitneartothefire.?
bynear?
Welivednearthecity.与Welivedbythecity.两句话都是对的,但其表达的意义有所不同,by在表达距离时比near更近,所以bythecity是紧靠近某城市。?
need?
[误]Thisroomneedstoclean.?
[正]Thisroomneedstobecleaned.?
[正]Thisroomneedscleaning.?
[析]在表达某事需要做什么时,need后面如用不定式要用其被动态,如接动名词则要用主动态。?
[误]Weneednottodoit.?
[正]Weneedntdoit.?
[析]need用在否定句、疑问句中一般用作情态动词,所以无人称变化也不加to,而在肯定句中则多用作实意动词,如:Weneedyourhelp.?
neither?
[误]Noneofmyparentsisateacher.?
[正]Neitherofmyparentsisateacher.?
[析]对两者的否定不能用none只能用neither,none用于三人以上的情况。?
[误]Idontdomyhomework.Neitherhedoes.?
[正]Idontdomyhomework.Neitherdoeshe.?
[析]这时应用倒装句。?
[误]NeitheryounorIareright.?
[正]NeitheryounorIamright.?
[析]neither…nor…这一句型在应用时其谓语动词应以邻近的主语一致。?
[误]Neitherhestudiesnorplays.?
[正]Neitherdoeshestudynorplay.?
[析]neither,hardly,seldom等否定词位于句首时,谓语动词采用倒装形式。
?
never?
[误]NeverIhavebrokenmyword.?
[正]NeverhaveIbrokenmyword.?
[析]never用于句首时起强调作用,要用倒装语序。但用于句中一般放于情态动词、助动词、或be动词后面,如:Ishallneverforgottheexpressiononherface.Losttimeisneverfoundagain.用于成语中,如:Betterlatethannever.(晚做比不做强。)nevermind没关系,如:"Whatdidyousay?""Oh,nevermind."?
news?
[误]Therearemanynewsabouttheaccident.?
[正]Thereismuchnewsabouttheaccident.?
[析]news是不可数名词,它没有复数形式,如果讲一条新闻要用apieceofnews.
newspaper?
[误]Ireadthenewsontodaysnewspaper.?
[正]Ireadthenewsintodaysnewspaper.?
[析]在报纸上读到某一条新闻一定要用介词in,而onthenewspaper是指把某物放于报纸之上,如:MayIputthefloweronthisnewspaper??
night?
[误]Icamehomeverylateyesterdaynight.?
[正]Icamehomeverylatelastnight.?
[析]"昨晚"一般要讲lastnight,而不应参照"昨天上午、下午、傍晚"的说法yesterdaymorning等套用。?
nonone?
no是个限定词,它可以用在可数名词单复数或不可数名词前,如:Nonewsisgoodnews.但如果名词前有另一限定词时则不能用no,而要用noneof,如Noneofthestudentswashere.?
nonot?
要使句子具有部分否定的意思,我们用not,如:Icanseeyoutomorrow,butnotSunday.如果是全部否定则用no,如Sorry,thereisnotimetotalk.?
Noonenone?
noone与nobody一样不能接of结构,如:Noonewishedmegoodluck.而要用of结构时要用none,如:Noneofmyfriendswishedmegoodluck.?
nor?
[误]Ineversawthepaintingbefore,ordidIhearofit.?
[正]Ineversawthepaintingbefore,notdidIhearofit.?
[析]注意在表达"既不……也不……"时不要用or作连词,而要用nor,并且要用倒装语序。?
not?
[误]Thestudentswenttothepark,butnotheteachers.?
[正]Thestudentswenttothepark,butnottheteachers.?
[析]要使一个句子或一个句子的某一部分为否定时我们要用not,而不用no.?
[误]Thereisnomylettertoday.?
[正]Thereisnoletterformetoday.?
[析]no是一个限定词,用在名词前时,要注意这个名词前应没有冠词、物主代词或指示代词。?
[误]Henotonlywasawriterbutalsoanactor.?
[正]Hewasnotonlyawriterbutalsoanactor.?
[析]在这一句型中notonly之后的词与butalso之后的词类必须一致,否则应为错句。如果这一结构用在主语位置,则谓语动词要与butalso后面的主语保持一致,如:NotonlyyoubutalsoIamwrong.?
nothing?
[误]Nothingbutbooksweresoldhere.?
[正]Nothingbutbookswassoldhere.?
[析]要注意真正的主语是nothing而不是books,所以这一结构在学生的使用中经常出错。
[误]Ihavenothingtodobuttocry.?
[正]Ihavenothingtodobutcry.?
[析]在这一结构中but后面要用省to的不定式。?
number?
[误]AnumberofnewscanbeheardonTVtoday.?
[正]AlotofnewscanbeheardonTVtoday.?
[析]anumberof后接可数名词复数。?
[误]Thenumberofstudentsaretenthousand.?
[正]Thenumberofstudentsistenthousand.?
[析]anumberof其意为"大量的",而thenumberof…是"某某的数量"。即thenumberofstudents意为"学生人数",所以要用单数形式的谓语动词。?
O?
oclock?
[误]Itstenpastfiveoclock.?
[正]Itstenpastfive.?
[析]oclock所表达的时间是正点,如果要表达的时间是几点几分或差几分几点都不能用oclock.?
once?
[误]Pleasecomeandseemeonce.?
[正]Pleasecomeandseemeoneday.?
[析]once用来谈论过去的事情,而不能谈论未来。如果要谈及未来要用oneday,sometime等。?
[误]ImethimonetimewhenIwasastudent.?
[正]ImethimoncewhenIwasastudent.?
[析]英语中一次应用once而不用onetime,二次要用twice而不用twotimes.?
one?

B?
back?
[误]Imsorry.Ihavetobackhome.?
[正]Imsorry.Ihavetogobackhome.?
[正]Imsorry.Ihavetogohome.?
[析]back用作"回到(某处)"之意,不是动词。?
be?
[误]Wheredoyoufrom??
[正]Whereareyoufrom??
[析]"你从何处来"应为Whereareyoufrom?或Wheredoyoucomefrom?但要注意这两句话均是问对方从哪个国家来的。要是口语中问"你是从什么地方来?"应讲Wheredidyoucomefrom?回答用Icamefromthelibrary.?
beat?
[误]Wehavewonyourclass.?
[正]Wehavebeatenyourclass.?
[正]Wehavewonthegame.?
[析]win是胜过之意,它是及物动词,但其后的宾语只能接比赛、战争、奖品、奖金的名称,如:Whichteamwonthefootballmatch?而beat指打败对手、敌人……如:Mybrotherbeatmeatpoker.(要注意的是,beat的过去式与原形相同,而过去分词为beaten)。?

[误]Heusedtohitthelittleboyblackandblue.?

beautiful?

[正]ThereasonwhyIwaslateisthatIwasill.?
[误]BecauseitwasSunday,sotheparkwascrowded.?
[正]BecauseitwasSundaytheparkwascrowded.?
[析]这种错误是因为中文的习惯与英语的表述法不同,中文常讲我来晚了的原因是因为我病了,而英文中的第二个因为要用that代替。又因中文常讲因为……所以……,而英文中用了因为就不能再用所以了,同样用了"所以"也就不要再用"因为"一词。例如:Becausewestudyhard,wepassedtheexameasily.或者:Westudyhardsowepassedtheexameasily.?
becausebecauseof?
because后要接从句,例如:Welikephysicsbecausewecanlearnalotofnewideas.而becauseof后要接名词作介词宾语,如:Heisnotatschoolbecauseoftheillness.?
before?
[误]Wehavetwohourstokillbeforewewillgohome.?
[正]Wehavetwohourstokillbeforewegohome.?

英语状语从句中要用一般现在时表示将来的动作。如:Ifitrainswewillnotgotothepark.

[析]用ago组成的时间状语其主句中的谓语动词要用过去时,而before引起的时间状语其主句中的谓语动词多用完成时,如:Ihasdonethisworkafewdaysbefore.?
beforelonglongbefore?
beforelong是"不久"之意,例如:IshallgotoAmericabeforelong.而longbefore则是"很久很久"之意,如:Weknewthisteacherlongbeforewesawhim.(我们在看到这位老师之前很久就知道他了。)?
begin?
[误]ThemeetingwillbeginfromMonday.?
[正]ThemeetingwillbeginonMonday.?
[误]Thefilmhasbegunfortenminutes.?
[正]Thefilmhasbeenonfortenminutes.?
[析]begin是瞬间动词,所以它的完成时态不能接表示一段时间的状语,如:Thefilmhasbegun.这句话是对的,即"电影已经开始"。但要讲已经开始10分钟了则要用hasbeenon即"上演了10分钟"。?
beginstart?
begin与start两词后面加不定式或动名词都可以,且意思并无区别,但在表达习惯时接动名词的用法较多,如:HowoldwernyouwhenyoufirststartedlearningEnglish?但这两个词的进行时态中则多用不定式,如:Iwasbeginningtogethungry.但如果句子的主语是物而不是人,则多用不定式,如:Theicebegantomelt.Itstartedtogetdarkbeforewegottoschool.当动词是表达某种心理状态时,要用不定式,如:Thestudentbegantounderstandhismistakes.?
[误]Theystudyhardintheclassfromthebeginningtotheend.?
[正]Theystudyhardintheclassfrombeginningtoend.?
[析]frombeginningtoend是习惯用法,即自始至终,不要加冠词,但如单独使用则要加冠词,例如:Atthebeginning,theteachergaveusanexam.?
behind?
[误]Hemissedtheclassbecausehewasbehindthetime.?
[正]Hemissedtheclassbecausehewasbehindtime.?

below?
[误]Whatsthatbelowthechair.?
[正]Whatsthatunderthechair.?
[析]under意为"正下方",而below意为"比……低",或指"在下游"。如:Thereisafallbelowtheriver.(河的下游有一个瀑布。)其反义词为over,如:Thereisabigplaneflyingoverthecity.但在"下面的例子"一表达语中则要用theexamplebelow,而不要用under.?
beside?
[误]Thestudentsstoodbesidestheteacher.?
[正]Thestudentsstoodbesidetheteacher.?
[误]IstudyEnglishbesideChinese.?
[正]IstudyEnglishbesidesChinese.?
[析]beside意为"在……旁边",而besides是"除……以外(还如何)"。?
besidebynear?
beside意为"在……旁",如:Thereisatalltreebesidetheriver.by多指"倚、靠"、"沿着"之意,如:Sheisstandingbythewindow.near多用来表示两地间距离不远,如:Thereisapostofficenearourschool.?
better?
[误]Youhadbettertodoitathome.?
[正]Youhadbetterdoitathome.?
[误]Youhadntbetterwakemeupatsix.?
[正]Youhadbetternotwakemeupatsix.?
[析]hadbetter在肯定句中为"应该作某事",其后加不带to的不定式,而在否定句中应用hadbetter+not+动词原形。在简答语中had常省略为d,如:Youdbetternot.又如:
?Lets?gofirst.No,wedbetternot.?
between?
[误]Amongthetwotreesthereisaspaceofthefeet.?
[正]Betweenthetwotreesthereisaspaceofthefeet.?
[析]两者之间多用between,三者或三者以上之间则用among.?
[误]Youmustchoosebetweenthiscluborthatclub.?
[正]Youmustchoosebetweenthisclubandthatclub.?
[析]在两个之间作出选择要用between…and…,而不能用between…or….?
big?
[误]Therewasabigrainlastnight.?
[正]Therewasaheavyrainlastnight.?
[析]大雨在英语中只能用aheavyrain而不要用abigrain.?
bit?
[误]Heisabitfool.?
[正]Heisabitofafool.?
[析]abit可以作程度副词,与alittle相同,但它用于名词前应用abitof,而用于形容词前则应用abit,如:Imabittired,而其简答的否定句应为Notabit,(一点儿也不。)又如:?
-DoyoumindifIopenthedoor??
-Notabit.?
black?
[误]Thechildrenbecameblackafterswimminginthesea.?
[正]Thechildrenbecamesunburnedafterswimminginthesea.?
[析]因太阳照晒而皮肤变黑,不应用black而应用sunburned,suncolour或dark.?

hair.?
[正]Thegirlhasdarkeyesandblackhair.?
[析]英语中blackeyes的意思是被打得发青的眼睛。?

[正]TheEuropeanslikeblacktea.?
[析]红茶在英文中应为blacktea.这种惯用法还有:blackandblue(鼻青脸肿,青一块紫一块);black?and?white(黑白电视片)。goblack意为"在失去知觉时眼前一片黑暗";lookblack意为"情况不妙,前景暗淡"。如:Afterthefighthewasblackandblue.OnTV,Ilikecolourforsomethingandblack?and?whiteforothers.?

[正]Shecouldnthelpcryingwhenshesawhermother.?
[析]couldnthelp其后应接动名词,表示情不自禁的动作,但couldnthelpbut后面要加动词原形即省to的不定式,所以前一句应译为"他才真正认识到他错了。"
?
buy?
[误]Ihaveboughtthisdictionaryforthreeyears.?
[正]Ihavehadthisdictionaryforthreeyears.?
[析]buy是截止性(即瞬间)动词,它可以有完成时,如:Ihaveboughtthisdictionary.但是不能与表示较长的时间状语连用。如要讲我这本字典已买了3年了则要用havehad这一结构即我拥有这本字典已3年了。?

[误]Itsonlysixoclock.Thatmustntbethepostman.?
[正]Itsonlysixoclock.Thatcantbethepostman.?
[析]must用来表示一种肯定的推断,如:Shemusthavesomeproblems.Shekeepscrying.但在否定句中则要用cant,要表示对过去的推测则要用"must+have+过去分词"的表达法,如:Thelightshavegoneout.Afusemusthaveblown.而对过去的否定推测则多用"?cant?+have+过去分词",如:Idontthinkhecanhaveheardyou.Callagain.?

canbeableto?
can与beableto都可以用来表示能力,但can只有现在时与过去时,beableto则可用任何时态,如:Hewillbeabletoteachthechild.但要表示经过努力而达到的一次性动作则只能用beableto,如:Hefinallywasabletojumpover2?10meters.或:Theplanewasabletoflyoverthemountain.但要注意的是这两个词都没有进行时态,而beableto后面不接不定式的被动态。?
cancould?
can与could都可以用在现在时的口语中,只是用could更为礼貌,语气更委婉。如:Couldyoutellusastory?

[误]Idontcarecoffee.?

[析]cleverat是固定搭配,表示在某方面有特长。?
close?
[误]Itiscoldoutside.Pleasekeepthedoorclose.?
[正]Itiscoldoutside.Pleasekeepthedoorclosed.?
[析]这里的close是动词,意为"关闭",而keep后要加形容词,所以要用close的过去分词形式closed作形容词。作形容词用的close意为"近的"、"亲密的"。?
[误]ComecloselysothatIcanseeyou.?
[正]ComeclosesothatIcanseeyou.?
[误]Goodteachingandgoodtestingarecloserelated.?
[正]Goodteachingandgoodtestingarecloselyrelated.?

Thereisabus?stopclosetothestation.?
closeshutturn?
shut与close是同义词,如closethedoor或shutthedoor.但要讲把某人关在门外时则只能用shutsomebodyout而不能用close,因shut语气较强,并含有隔离之意。而turnoff是指关上电视、电灯、煤气之类,有切断之意。?

[正]Thechildrenwearverygoodclothestogotoschool.?
[误]Ineedalotofclothing.?
Imgoingtomakeanewcloth.?

coffee?
[误]Pleasegivemetwowaters.?
[正]Pleasegivemetwocoffees.?
[正]Pleasegivemetwocupsofwater.?

colour(color)?
[误]Coloursofflowersarered,yellowandwhite.?
[正]Flowersarered,yellowandwhite.?
[析]中文的"花的颜色有红色、黄色和白色",若译为英文Coloursofflowersare…,就显得重复了。?
[误]Ilikegreencolour.?
[正]Ilikegreen.?
[正]Ilikecolourgreen.?
[析]colourgreen中的colour是green的同位语,所以这种说话方式英语是可以接受的。?

又如:Congratulations!?
cook?
[误]Myfatherisagoodcooker.?
[正]Myfatherisagoodcook.?
[析]很多动词加上?er则变为执行该动作的一种人,如work?worker,teach?teacher.但cook即是动词"做饭",同时名词也是"厨师"。而cooker则是"厨具"、"炊具"之意。如:Iwillcookthedinner.Iboughtagoodpresscooker(高压锅)。?
corner?
[误]Thereisapostofficeinthecornerofthestreet.?
[正]Thereisapostofficeatthecornerofthestreet.?

[误]Farmersliveinthecountries.?
[正]Farmersliveinthecountry.?
[析]但作为"国家"讲时则可有单、复数形式,例如:JapanisanAsiancountry.Japan,China,andIndiaareAsiancountries.另外,country一般指的是地理概念上的国家,如:NewZealandisanagriculturalcountry.而nation多指民族组成的国家,如:TheChinesenation(中华民族)。state多侧重于政权方面的区域、国家范围,如:thestatefarm(国营农场)。?

when?

[误]Idcookyounicemealwhenyoudcomehomeintheevening.?

[正]Idcookyounicemealwhenyoucamehomeintheevening.?

[析]在when引导的状语从句中,要用一般时表示将来,即主句中是将来时,从句中应用一般现在时,如主句中是过去将来时,从句中应用一般过去时。如:Illbebackwhenyoucomebackfromschool.?

[误]Wheninthesecondgrade,hismotherboughthimabike.?

[正]WhenTomwasinthesecondgrade,hismotherboughthimabike.?

[正]Idontknowwheretogo.?

[析]where是疑问副词。?

whether?

[误]Itisunknownifhewillcome.?

[正]Itisunknownwhetherhewillcome.?

[析]if不能引导主语从句。上句中it是形式主语,其后的从句才是真正的主语从句。要注意以下各种情况不宜用if而要用whether:?

①Ididntknowwhetheryoullgoornot.(因句中有ornot选项。)?

②Hedidntknowwhethertovisittheoldman.(因用于不定式前。)?

③Iminterestedinwhetherhellgo.(因作介词的宾语从句。)?

④Iwanttoknowthenewswhetherourteamwillwin.(同位语从句。)?

⑤Letmeknowwhetheryoucancome.(此句如用if则含意有所不同,其意就变为"如果你能来请通知我"。而用whether则意为"让我知道你是否能来"。)?

who?

[误]Whomdoyouthinkwouldliketocomeforagameoffootball??

[正]Whodoyouthinkwouldliketocomeforagameoffootball??

[析]在这个句式中"doyouthink"应看作插入语,所以原句应为Whowouldliketocomeforagameoffootball??

[误]Fromwhowasthegift??

[正]Fromwhomwasthegift??

[正]Whowasthatgiftfrom??

[析]在句首时现代英语常用who取代whom,而在紧跟介词时则不能用who来取代whom.?

[析]whynot后面接不带to的不定式,也可以用whydontyougowithher??

win?

[误]Wehavewonyourclass.?

[正]Wehavebeatenyourclass.?

[析]win是及物动词,其后的宾语应是比赛、战争、奖品、奖金,如:Whichteamwonthefootballmatch?而beat是指"打败"对手、敌人,如:Mybrotherbeatmeatpoker.(请注意,beat是不规则动词,其过去式与原形相同,而过去分词为beaten.)?

work?

[误]Thisgirlislookingforaworkatthebank.?

[正]Thisgirlislookingforajobatthebank.?

[析]"找工作"一般应为tofindajob,而works作为"工作"讲为不可数名词,不能加不定冠词,也不可用复数。当work作为"作品"、"著作"讲时,为可数名词,如:Thispaintingisoneofhisgreatworks.而works作为"工厂"讲时单复数形式相同,如:anironworks或twoironworks.作主语时其谓语动词可用单数,如:Thesteelworksisclosedfortheholidays.?

[误]Youmaywritewithink.?

[正]Youmaywriteinink.?
