英语语法常见错误100例(2)

1. 我们信任我们的老板。

误：We believe our boss.

正：We believe in our boss.

析：believe sb 指“相信某人说的话”，believe in sb指“相信某人的为人”或“信任某人”。又如：I can believe him, but I can not believe in him. 我相信他说的话是真的，但是不相信他的为人。

2. 铃还没响，同学们就走了出去。

误：The students went out before the bell didn’t ring.

正：The students went out before the bell rang.

析：before 表示“在……之前”，before the bell rang指的就是“在铃响之前”，既然是铃响之前，当然就是铃还没响。也就是说汉语的否定意味已包含在 before 当中，所以该从句不再用否定式。

3. 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。

4. 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。

5. 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。
