11. 你愿意参加我们的晚会吗? 错误:Would you like to join our party on Friday? 正确:Would you like to come to our party on Friday night? Note:join 往往是指参加俱乐部或者协会,如:join a health club; join the Communist Party.事实上,常常与party搭配的动词的come 或者go。如go a wild party,或者come to a Christmas Party。 12. 我没有经验。 错误:I have no experience. 正确: I don’t know much about that. Note:I have no experience这句话听起来古里古怪,因为您只需要说:那方面我懂得不多,或者这方面我不在行,就行了。I am not really an expert in this area. 13. 我没有男朋友。 错误:I have no boyfriend. 正确:I don’t have a boyfriend. 14. 他的身体很健康。 错误:His body is healthy. 正确:He is in good health. / He’s healthy. 15. 价钱很昂贵/便宜。 错误:The price is too expensive/cheap. 正确:The price is too high/ rather low. 16. 我们下了车。 错误:We got off the car. 正确:We got out of the car. 17. 车速快了。 错误:The speed of the car is fast. 正确:The car is speeding.

(这一句是错的) 当然。Sure. / Certainly.(这种说法是正确的) 以 英语为母语的人使用of course的频率要比中国的学生低得多,只有在回答一些众所周知的问题时才说of course。因为of course后面隐含的一句话是“当然我知道啦!难道我是一个傻瓜吗?”因此,of course带有挑衅的意味。在交谈时,用sure或certainly效果会好得多。同时,of course not也具挑衅的意味。正常情况下语气温和的说法是certainly not. 19. 我觉得右手很疼。 错误:I feel very painful in my right hand. 正确:My right hand is very painful. Or “ My right hand hurts(aches).” 20. 他看到她很惊讶。 错误:He looked at her and felt surprised. 正确:He looked at her in surprise. 想给孩子或者自己取个英文名?来看看今年的潮流!日前BabyCenter网站公布了2011年父母最爱为孩子取的百大英文名,男孩名中Aiden依然稳坐第一,女孩名中Sophia连续第二年蝉联桂冠。 |
