初中英语典型错误100例(2)

11．这双鞋不相配，一只大，一只小。

误：These shoes do not match; one is large and another is small.

正：These shoes do not match; one is large and the other is small.

析：表示两者当中的另一个，要用 the other，不用another。

12．今天下午我打过电话，但没人接听。

误：I telephoned this afternoon, but nobody received.

正：I telephoned this afternoon, but nobody answered.

析：表示接电话，英语习惯用动词 answer。顺便说一句，听见门铃或敲门声去开门，习惯上也用动词 answer。如：I knocked at the door but no one answered. 我敲了敲门，但没有人来开门。

13. 为什么不给她送些花呢?

误：Why not give her any flowers?

正：Why not give her some flowers?

析：在表示请求或邀请的疑问句中，一般要用some，而不用any。又如：Would you like some bananas? 吃香蕉吗?

14．不久天空中出现了星星。

误：Soon the stars were appeared in the sky.

误：Soon the sky appeared the stars.

正：Soon the stars appeared in the sky.

析：appear(出现)是不及物动词，因此其后不能有宾语，也不能用于被      动语态。

15．她离开时，她的丈夫还在睡熟。

误：Her husband was very asleep when she left.

正：Her husband was fast [sound] asleep when she left.

析：要表示“睡得很熟”，asleep 不能用 very 修饰，可用 fast或 sound 来修饰。类似地还有：He’s in a sound sleep. 他睡得很香。

16. 他十分关心他的汽车。

误：He gives all his attentions to his car.

正：He gives all his attention to his car.

析：attention(注意)是不可数名词，不能用复数形式，也不能与不定冠词连用。

17．你的工作不好,但我的工作更糟。

误：Your work is bad, but mine is more bad.

正：Your work is bad, but mine is worse.

析：bad(坏的)的比较等级为不规则变化，即 worse, worst。使用时不要按汉语意思使用 more bad这样的表达形式。

18. 因为下雨，所以我们只好呆在家里。

误：Because it was raining, so we had to stay at home.

正：Because it was raining, we had to stay at home.

正：It was raining, so we had to stay at home.

析：because(因为)是从属连词，用以引导原因状语从句；而so(所      以)是并列连词，用以连接并列句。 两者不可同用在一个句子中，改正的办法是：任意去掉其中的一个。

19. 他还是孩子时就开始喜欢诗歌。

误：He became to like poetry when he was a boy.

正：He began to like poetry when he was a boy.

析：表示开始做某事，英语可用begin [start] to do sth。become 后习惯上不接不定式。

20. 躺在床上看书是个坏习惯。

误：It is a bad habit to read on bed.

正：It is a bad habit to read in bed.

正：It is a bad habit to read on a [the] bed.

析：表示“在床上”，用介词 on 或 in 均可，但用 on 时 bed 前应有冠词，用 in 时 bed 前没有冠词。 但是若是指某一张具体的床，则也可能用两者，如：in [on] that bed (在那张床上)，in [on] the same bed(在同一张床上)等。另外，有时要暗示人身上盖有东西，也可能用 in the bed。
