高中英语典型错误100例(10)

  92. 他们劫富济贫。
  误:They robbed the money from the rich to help the poor.
  正:They robbed the rich to help the poor.
  析:rob(抢劫)作为及物动词,它的宾语总是被抢劫的人或地点,而不是被抢走的东西,其句型为:rob + 被抢的人或地方+ of +被抢的东西。又如:He robbed me of my wallet. 他抢了我的钱包。但不说:He robbed my wallet. 再如:She was robbed of her money. 她的钱被抢了。但不说:Her money was robbed.
  93. 他不愿拿这么少的薪金来担任这个职务。
  误:He would not accept this office for such a little salary.
  正:He would not accept this office for such a low salary.
  析:形容薪水的多少或高低,salary 通常用 large,small,high,low 等形容词来修饰,一般不用 much,little,few,many 等修饰,又如:She has a large [high] salary. 她薪水很高。注:对薪金提问时,可以用 how much,如:How much salary does the job pay? 这一工作薪水多少?
  94. 他喜欢数学,他弟弟也一样。
  误:He likes maths,and it is the same to his brother.
  正:He likes maths,and it is the same with his brother.
  析:要表示“与……一样”,英语要说 the same as,不可用 the same with,如:His car is the same as mine. 他的汽车与我的一样。但是,若要表示甲的情况同样也适合于乙时,英语却可用 it is the same with ...,此结构与“so + 特殊动词 + 主语”相似,如上句也可说成:... and so does his brother. 又如:He likes music but doesn’t like sports. It is the same with his brother. 他喜欢音乐,但不喜欢运动,他弟弟也是一样。注意此句中的 It is the same with his brother 不能改为 So does his brother,因为前面一句既包括肯定又包括否定)。
  95. 我知道他一点也不满意。
  误:I know that he didn’t satisfy at all.
  正:I know that he wasn’t satisfied at all.
  析:在现代英语中,satisfy 只用作及物动词,其意不是“满意”而是“使(人)满意”,所以其后不能没有宾语,除非是被动语态(或是系表结构)。
  96. 现在计算机也开始为农业服务了。
  误:Now computers have also begun serving for agriculture.
  正:Now computers have also begun serving agriculture.
  析:serve 的意思是“为……服务”,是及物动词,后接宾语时无需用介词。又如:We must serve the people heart and soul. 我们必须全心全意地为人民服务。
  97. 我正要上床睡觉,这时电话铃突然响了起来。
  误:I was just about to go to bed,suddenly the telephone rang.
  正:I was just about to go to bed,when the telephone rang.
  析:suddenly (突然)是副词,不能连接或引导句子。正句中所用的 when=这时突然。注:这样用的 when 有的词书认为是并列连词(用以连接并列句),有的词书认为是关系副词(用以引导定语从句)。
  98. 你的意思是说我不适合做这工作?
  误:Are you suggesting that I should not be suited for the job?
  正:Are you suggesting that I’m not suited for the job?
  析:suggest 后接 that 从句时,用不用虚拟语气与 suggest 所表示的意思有关:(1)suggest 表示“建议”时,后接的 that 从句谓语通常用“(should)+动词原形”这样的虚拟语气形式。如:His wife suggested that he (should) give up smoking.他妻子建议他戒烟。(2) suggest 表示“暗示”“意指”“表明”等义时,则后接的 that 从句要用陈述语气。如:What he said suggested that he was a cheat. 他说的话表明他是个骗子。I am not suggesting that the accident was your fault. 我不是说这事故是你的错。Others suggest that they two will be equals. 其他人认为他们俩将是势均力敌。
  99. 不管是谁打电话来,都说我出去了。
  误:Whoever telephones,and tell them I’m out.
  正:Whoever [=No matter who] telephones,tell them I’m out.
  析:whoever 用以引导让步状语从句(=不管是谁)且位于主句之前时,注意不要在其后的主句前误加连词 and。
  100. 难怪他们遇到那么大的麻烦。
  误:No wonder did they have so much trouble.
  正:No wonder (that) they had so much trouble.
  析:no wonder 后接 that 从句时(=难怪,并不奇怪),其后的句子不用倒装。又如:No wonder (that) she didn’t like it. 难怪她不喜欢这东西。注:该结构为 It’s no wonder that ... 之省略,其中的 no 也可用 little,small 等代之,如:Small wonder that he was so tired. 难怪他那么累。 It’s no wonder you can’t sleep when you eat so much. 你吃得太饱,自然睡不着。
