初中英语改错翻译句型:中考英语常见错误B系列之三
big ?
[误] There was a big rain last night.?
[正] There was a heavy rain last night.?
[析] 大雨在英语中只能用a heavy rain而不要用a big rain. ?
bit ?
[误] He is a bit fool. ?
[正] He is a bit of a fool.?
[析] a bit可以作程度副词,与a little相同,但它用于名词前应用a bit of, 而用于形容词前则应用a bit,如:I'm a bit tired, 而其简答的否定句应为Not a bit, (一点儿也不。)又如:?
-Do you mind if I open the door??
-Not a bit. ?
black ?
[误] The children became black after swimming in the sea.?
[正] The children became sunburned after swimming in the sea.?
[析] 因太阳照晒而皮肤变黑,不应用black而应用sunburned, sun colour或dark.?
[误] The girl has black eyes and black
hair?
[正] The girl has dark eyes and black hair.?
[析] 英语中black eyes的意思是被打得发青的眼睛。?
[误] The Europeans like red tea.?
[正] The Europeans like black tea.?
[析] 红茶在英文中应为black tea. 这种惯用法还有:black and blue(鼻青脸肿,青一块紫一块);black?and?white(黑白电视片)。go black意为"在失去知觉时眼前一片黑暗";look black意为"情况不妙,前景暗淡"。如:After the fight he was black and blue.On TV, I like colour for something and black?and?white for others.?
body ?
[误] Going to bed earlier and getting up earlier is good for your body.?
[正] Going to bed earlier and getting up earlier is good for your health.?
[析] 中文常讲对你身体有利,而英文中则讲对你健康有利。?
borrow ?
[误] May I lend some books from the library??
[正] May I borrow some books from the library??
[误] How long can I borrow it??
[正] How long can I keep it??
[析] 英语中有三个词都可译为"借",但意义各不相同如:"借入"是borrow,其常用句型结构是borrow something from somebody,这是个瞬间性动词,不可与表示延续的时间状语连用。例如:The students want to borrow some books from the library. "借出"用lend,即借给别人东西。其常用句型是lend somebody something, 或lend something to somebody.例如:Could you lend us your dictionary?或Could you lend your dictionary to us? 它也是瞬间性动词,也不能与延续的时间状语连用。keep则是延续性动词,可以和表示长时间段的时间状语连用,也可与how long等疑问词连用,如:You can keep it for three days.?
born (bear的过去分词)?
[误] I born in Shanghai.?
[正] I was born in Shanghai.?
[误] He was born from Greek parents.?
[正] He was born of Greek parents.?
[析] "出身于……样的家庭"不要作from而要用of,例如:He was born of a poor family.
both ?
[误] They both are students.?
[正] They are both students.?
[误] They refuse both to answer this question.?
[正] They both refuse to answer this question.?
[析] both作同位语时,一般要用在be动词之后实意动词之前。
[误] I know his both parents.?
[正] I know both his parents.?
[误] The both brothers were students.?
[正] Both the brothers were students.?
[正] Both brothers were students.?
[析] 当both与形容词性物主代词my, his, her等以及定冠词the连用时,都应将这些词置于both之后。另外,在与定冠词连用时the可以省略。?
[误] Both of my parents are not at home.?
[正] Neither of my parents are at home.?
[误] Both of your answers are not right.?
[正] Neither of your answers is right.?
[正] Both your answers are wrong.?
[析] both不能用于否定句中作主语。表示"两者都不"时要用neither;但作宾语时both与either则都对,但要注意句意有所不同。例如:I cannot give both of the books to you. (我不能将两本书全给你。)而I cannot give either of the books to you. (两本书中哪本书也不能给你。)?
