误用:We’re very much interested in the background of the people that we’re talking. 正确:We’re very much interested in the background of the people that we’re talking to. 说明:许多同学在写作时,由于对句子结构没有弄清楚,很容易漏掉英语句子末尾的介词。对于上面一句而言,由于 that we’re talking to 是修饰 people 的定语从句,关系代词在定语从句中用作介词 to 的宾语,其中的介词 to 不可省略。又如以下各句末尾的介词也不可省略:The idea that everyone should be required to vote by law is something I don’t agree with. 主张由法律规定每个人都要投票的意见是我所不能赞同的。The fridge isn’t working properly. I’m having it looked at. 电冰箱出了毛病,我在请人看呢。Her uncle and mother came two days ago, and she is being well taken care of. 她的舅父和母亲前两天来过,因此现在有人很好地照看着她。He is the man whose house the pictures were stolen from. 他就是那个家里藏画被盗的人。 句意:我们对我们正与之交谈的那些人的经历很感兴趣。 误用:He called at all the housewives in the area and asked them to sign the petition. 正确:He called on all the housewives in the area and asked them to sign the petition. 说明:call at 通常后接地方,而call on 后面则通常接某人。如:She called at his office yesterday. 她昨天去了他办公室拜访。 句意:他走访了这一地区的所有主妇,要求他们在请愿书上签名。 误用:Joy is engaged to a daring, very attractive young Air Force pilot. 改正:Joy is engaged with a daring, very attractive young Air Force pilot. 说明:表示“同某人订婚”,英语习惯上用 be engaged to sb,而不说 be engaged with sb。又如:He is engaged to a nurse. 他与一位护士订了婚。 句意:乔伊与一位勇敢的,富有吸引力的年轻空军飞行员订了婚。 误用:The sun rises from the east and sets in the west. 改正:The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. 说明:汉语说“太阳从东方升起”,但英语习惯上说 rise in the east。 句意:太阳从东方升起,至西方落下。 误用:Along with the introduction of advanced management techniques and under the help of Mr. Freeker, the hotel is steadily becoming one of the world’s first-class hotels. 改正:Along with the introduction of advanced management techniques and with the help of Mr. Freeker, the hotel is steadily becoming one of the world’s first-class hotels. 说明:汉语说“在……的帮助下”,英语要说 with the help of sb。又如:With his help, I finished it in time. 在他的帮助下,我及时做完了。 句意:靠引进先进的管理技术和弗里克先生的帮助,这家饭店正稳步成为世界一流饭店。 |
