1. 圖書館在一家電影院的前面。
誤:The library is in the front of a cinema.
正:The library is in front of a cinema.
解析:in the front of... 意為"在......前面"(事物的內部),in front of...意為"在......前面"(事物的外部)。在本句中,由句意判斷,應是外部的前面。
2. 劉翔跑得比任何選手都快。
誤:Liu Xiang runs faster than any other runners.
正:Liu Xiang runs faster than any other runner.
解析:在表示除自身外與其他人作對比時,應用any other + 名詞單數(shù)形式。
3. 叫王梅的女孩很聰明。
誤:The girl calling Wang Mei is very clever.
正:The girl called Wang Mei is very clever.
解析:表示"某人名叫......"時,應用過去分詞來表示。如:The man called Mike is my friend.
4. 莉莉有點害羞。
誤:Lily was a bit of shy.
正:Lily was a bit shy.
解析:a bit是副詞性詞組,可以修飾形容詞、副詞、動詞,意為"一點; 有些";a bit of修飾不可數(shù)名詞,表示"少量的; 一點"。如:There is a bit of time left.
5. 明天請把你們的英語書帶來。
誤:Please take your English books here tomorrow.
正:Please bring your English books here tomorrow.
解析:bring與take都有"拿"的意思,bring指"從別處拿來",由遠及近;take指"從此處拿走",由近及遠,但bring sth with sb和take sth with sb都表示"某人隨身攜帶某物"。
6. 我看見他和他的朋友談話了。
誤:I watched him to talk with his friends.
正:I watched him talk with his friends.
解析:感官動詞后面接動詞不定式時,應省略to,這類詞有see, watch, notice, hear, feel等。
7. 起初,我發(fā)現(xiàn)英語很難。
誤:At the first, I found English too hard.
正:At first, I found English too hard.
解析:at first表示"起初; 開始的時候",這是固定短語,中間不加the。
8. 他跌倒摔斷了腿。
誤:He felt down and broke his leg.
正:He fell down and broke his leg.
解析:動詞fall的過去式是fell,而felt是動詞feel的過去式,意為"覺得;感覺"。
9. 這里的天氣變得越來越暖和。
誤:The weather here get warmer and warmer.
正:The weather here gets warmer and warmer.
解析:主語是weather,所以謂語動詞應用第三人稱單數(shù)形式。
10. 他們下星期一會等你的。
誤:They will wait for you on next Monday.
正:They will wait for you next Monday.
解析:表示"在星期幾",星期名詞前面應用介詞on,但當星期名詞前有了next, last, this等詞修飾時,不需用介詞。
11. 今天晚上有一個會議。
誤:There will have a meeting this evening.
正:There will be a meeting this evening.
解析:There be句型表示客觀存在,實義動詞have表示"擁有",它不可用于There be句型中。
12. 明天北京的天氣怎樣?
誤:How's the weather like in Beijing tomorrow?
正:What's the weather like in Beijing tomorrow?
解析:對天氣情況提問可以說:What's the weather like...?或How's the weather...?二者不可混淆。
