1. 你妹妹長(zhǎng)什么樣?
誤:What does your sister like?
正:What does your sister look like?
析:當(dāng)詢問(wèn)某人的外貌特征時(shí),應(yīng)用句型“What do/does+主語(yǔ)+look like?”,其中l(wèi)ike是介詞,短語(yǔ)look like的意思是“看上去像……”。例如:
She looks like her mother.她看上去像她媽媽。
2. 你認(rèn)識(shí)那個(gè)戴眼鏡的女孩嗎?
誤:Do you know the girl has glasses?
正:Do you know the girl with glasses?
析:此處要用介詞with來(lái)表示“戴”的意思,作伴隨狀語(yǔ),放在所修飾的詞后面。
3. 你哥哥會(huì)講英語(yǔ)嗎?
誤:Can your brother say English?
正:Can your brother speak English?
析:say的意思是“說(shuō)、講”,強(qiáng)調(diào)所說(shuō)的內(nèi)容。而speak作“說(shuō)、講”時(shí),強(qiáng)調(diào)說(shuō)話的能力;說(shuō)某種語(yǔ)言時(shí),要用speak。例如:
Please say it again.請(qǐng)?jiān)僬f(shuō)一遍。
4. 教室里沒(méi)有人。
誤:There are nobody in the classroom.
正:There is nobody in the classroom.
析:nobody是不定代詞,意思是“沒(méi)有人”,含有否定意義,作主語(yǔ)時(shí),謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞要用單數(shù)形式。
5. 我認(rèn)為你不對(duì)。
誤:I think you are not right.
正:I dont think you are right.
析:I think后面接一個(gè)句子(叫賓語(yǔ)從句)作賓語(yǔ)時(shí),若該句子為否定的,一般要否定主句,而不否定從句。
6. 我想要一些西紅柿。
誤:Id like some tomatos.
正:Id like some tomatoes.
析:tomato的復(fù)數(shù)形式是在詞尾加上es構(gòu)成。
7. 你想要多大碗的面條?
誤:How size bowl of noodles would you like?
正:What size bowl of noodles would you like?
析:size的意思是“大小、尺寸”,可與what連用,而不可與how連用。
8. 我想吃雞肉和帶洋白菜的面條。
誤:Id like chicken or cabbage noodles.
正:Id like chicken and cabbage noodles.
析:在肯定句中表示并列成分的列舉,要用and;在疑問(wèn)句和否定句中并列成分的列舉要用or。
9. 你想要哪種面條?
誤:What kinds of noodles would you like?
正:What kind of noodles would you like?
析:kind與what連用時(shí),要用單數(shù)形式。
10. 我喜歡牛肉西紅柿面條。
誤:I like beef and tomatoes noodles.
正:I like beef and tomato noodles.
析:名詞作定語(yǔ)時(shí),一般要用單數(shù)形式。
11. 他喜歡吃雞肉。
誤:He likes eating chickens.
正:He likes eating chicken.
析:chicken作不可數(shù)名詞時(shí),意思是“雞肉”,沒(méi)有復(fù)數(shù)形式;chicken用作可數(shù)名詞時(shí),意思是“雞”,有復(fù)數(shù)形式。
