[color="DarkRed"]最容易犯错的30句英语
《最容易犯错的30句英语》


[color="Red"]1.我非常喜欢。

错: I very like it
对: I like it very much.

[color="red"]2. 这个价格对我挺合适的。
错: The price is very suitable for me.
对: The price is right.

Note:suitable(合适的、相配的)最常见的用法是以否定的形式出现在告示或通知上,如:下列节目儿童不宜。The following program is not suitable for children在这组句子中用后面的说法会更合适。
  
[color="red"]3. 你是做什么工作的呢?
错: What's your job?
对: Are you working at the moment?

Note:what's your job这种说法难道也有毛病吗?是的。因为如果您的谈话对象刚刚失业,如此直接的问法会让对方有失面子,所以您要问:目前您是在上班吗?Are you working at the moment?接下来您才问:目前您在哪儿工作呢?Where are you working these days?或者您从事哪个行业呢?What line of work are you in?顺带说一下,回答这类问题时不妨说得具体一点,不要只是说经理或者秘书
  
[color="red"]4. 用英语怎么说?
错: How to say?
对: How do you say this in English?

Note: How to say是在中国最为氾滥成灾的中国式英语之一,这决不是地道的英语说法。同样的句子有:请问这个词如何拼写?How do you spell that , please?请问这个单词怎么读?How do you pronounce this word?
  
[color="red"]5. 明天我有事情要做。
Incorrect: I have something to do tomorrow?
Correct: Sorry but I am tied up all day tomorrow.

Note: 用I have something to do来表示您很忙,这也完全是中国式的说法。因为每时每刻我们都有事情要做,躺在那里睡大觉也是事情。所以您可以说我很忙,脱不开身:I'm tied up.还有其他的说法: I can't make it at that time. I'd love to, but I can't, I have to stay at home.
  
[color="red"]6. 我没有英文名。
错: I haven't English name.
对: I don't have an English name.

Note: 许多人讲英语犯这样的错误,从语法角度来分析,可能是语法功底欠缺,因为have在这里是实义动词,而并不是在现在完成时里面那个没有意义的助动词。所以,这句话由肯定句变成否定句要加助动词。
明白道理是一回事,习惯是另一回事,请您再说几话:我没有钱;I don't have any money.我没有兄弟姐妹;I don't have any brothers or sisters.我没有车。I don't have a car.
  
[color="red"]7. 我想我不行。
错: I think I can't.
对: I don't think I can.

Note: 这一组然是个习惯问题,在语法上称为否定前置,这就是汉语里面说“我想我不会”的时候,英语里面总是说“我不认为我会”。以后您在说类似的英语句子的时候,只要您留心,也会习惯英语的说法的。
  
[color="red"]8. 我的舞也跳得不好。
错: I don't dance well too.
对: I am not a very good dancer either.

Note: 当我们说不擅长做什么事情的时候,英语里面通常用not good at something,英语的思维甚至直接踊跃到:我不是一个好的舞者。
   [color="red"]
9. 现在几点钟了?
错: What time is it now?
对: What time is it, please?
Note: What time is it now这是一个直接从汉语翻译过的句子,讲英语的时候没有必要说now,因为您不可能问what time was it yesterday, 或者what time is it tomorrow?所以符合英语习惯的说法是:请问现在几点了?还有一种说法是:How are we doing for time?这句话在有时间限制的时候特别合适。
  
[color="red"]10. 我的英语很糟糕。
错: My English is poor.
对: I am not 100% fluent, but at least I am improving.

Note: 有人开玩笑说,全中国人最擅长的一句英文是:My English is poor.实话说,我从来没有遇到一个美国人对我说:My Chinese is poor. 无论他们的汉语是好是坏,他们会说: I am still having a few problem, but I am getting better.
当您告诉外国人,您的英语很poor,so what(那又怎么样呢),是要让别人当场施舍给我们一些英语呢,还是说我的英语不好,咱们不谈了吧。
另外一个更大的弊端是,一边不停的学英语,一边不停地说自己的英语很poor,这正像有个人一边给车胎充气,又一边在车胎上札孔放气。
我坚信,先不谈别的,如果您现在就苦下功夫,把这本薄薄的《英语54321》吃通吃透,您的英语水准立即就会迅速的提高。所以您再也不用说:我的英语很poor. 您可以实事求事地说,我的英语还不算十分流利,但至少我在进步。
 [color="red"] 
11. 你愿意参加我们的晚会吗?
错: Would you like to join our party on Friday?
对: 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 to a wild party,或者come to a Christmas Party。
  
[color="red"]12. 我没有经验。
错: I have no experience.
对: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.
  
[color="red"]13. 我没有男朋友。
错: I have no boyfriend.
对: I don't have a boyfriend.
  
[color="red"]14. 他的身体很健康。
错: His body is healthy.
对: He is in good health. Or you can also say: He's healthy.
[color="red"]
15. 价钱很昂贵/便宜。
错: The price is too expensive/cheap.
对: The price is too high/ rather low.

[color="red"]16. 我们下了车。
错: We got off the car.
对: We got out of the car.
  
[color="red"]17. 车速快了。Incorrect: The speed of the car is fast.
Correct: The car is speeding. Or “The car is going too fast.”

The car is speeding. Or “The car is going too fast.”只能说成"车子超速 or 车子太快"。但"车速快了"就是由快到更快的意思。如果用"The Speed/car is getting faster" 会比较好。
[color="red"]18. 这个春节你回家吗? Will you be going back home for the Spring Festival?
是的,我回去。Of course! (这一句是错的)
当然。Sure. / Certainly.(这种说法是正确的)

Note: 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,当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.
  
[color="red"]19. 我觉得右手很疼。
错: I feel very painful in my right hand.
对: My right hand is very painful. Or“My right hand hurts(aches).”
  
[color="red"]20. 他看到她很惊讶。
错: He looked at her and felt surprised.
对: He looked at her in surprise.
  
[color="red"]21. 我读过你的小说但是没料到你这么年轻。
错: I have read your novels but I didn't think you could be so young.
对: After having read your novel, I expected that you would be older.
  
[color="red"]22. 她脸红了,让我看穿了她的心思。
错: Her red face made me see through her mind.
对: Her red face told me what she was thinking.
[color="red"]  
23. 看到这幅划让我想到了我的童年时代。
错: The sight of these pictures made me remember my own childhood.
对: Seeing these pictures reminded me of my own childhood.
  
[color="red"]24. 别理她。
错: Don't pay attention to her.
对: Leave her alone.
[color="red"]  
25. 我在大学里学到了许多知识。
错: I get a lot of knowledge in the university.
对: I learned a lot in university.
  
[color="Red"]26. 山姆正在读书。Incorrect: Samuel is reading a book.
Correct: Samuel is reading.

Samuel is reading a book也不能说是错,因为他可以是reading newspaper,如果只说Samuel is reading也只可以说"山姆正在阅读"不是"读书"。那就要看讲者是否要注明是"看书"。Samuel is reading. 只是一个大方向的说法而以。

[color="red"]27. exciting / excited。
exciting令人兴奋的;令人激动的
excited 兴奋的;激动的
这类的用词不指这两个 其实还有很多其他的
但是常常有人会搞混
exciting本身是形容某件事或东西让人感到刺激
举个例子: We went to an exciting football game last week.
意思是”我们上周看了场激动人心的足球比赛。”
至于excited 则大多用在 人的情绪 或是形容一个人很高兴
举个例子: She was excited to learn the news. 她听到这消息很兴奋。
或是: The excited children were opening their Christmas presents. 兴奋的孩子们在打开他们的耶诞礼物。

[color="red"]28. 我遇到了很多困难。
错: I am having many difficulties.
对: I am having a few problems / lots of problems.
  
[color="red"]29. 请快点走,否则我们会迟到的。
错: Please hurry to walk or we'll be late.
对: Please hurry up or we'll be late.
  
[color="red"]30. 她由嫉妒转向失望。
错: She was so jealous that she became desperate.
对: Jealousy drove her to despair.
