1. change
[误]I want to change my camera with that one.
[正]I want to change my camera for that one.
[析] change for为“以某物为交换物”。而change with则是“随……而变”,如:The wood's colour changed with the season.
2. cheap
[误]A teacher's salary is generally very cheap.
[正]A teacher's salary is generally very low.
[析]工资的高低要用low,cheap是指价格便宜,如果要讲物美价廉则要用not expensive, 如:This car is not expensive.
3. choose
[误]We each had to have a choose of A or B.
[正]We each had to have a choice of A or B.
[析]choice是名词,而choose是动词。
4. class
[误]The class is watching TV.
[正]The class are watching TV.
[析]class作主语时,如果作为整体讲则应用单数形式的谓语动词,如:The class was more than forty in number. 如考虑到具体的每个成员时则应用复数形式的谓语动词,如:The class are, in general, very bright.
5. clean
[误]Sorry, I didn't bought it here. I cleanly forgot.
[正]Sorry, I didn't bought it here. I clean forgot.
[析]clean可以作为副词讲,其意为“完全”,而cleanly则意为“正确地”、“干净利落地”,如:The knife doesn't cut cleanly. 而clean作为形容词讲时意为“清洁的”、“干净的”,如:Her face is not clean now.
6. clever
[误]I'm not clever in English.
[正]I'm not clever at English.
[析]clever at是固定搭配,表示在某方面有特长。
7. close
[误]It is cold outside. Please keep the door close.
[正]It is cold outside. Please keep the door closed.
[析]这里的close是动词,意为“关闭”,而keep后要加形容词,所以要用close的过去分词形式closed作形容词。作形容词用的close意为“近的”、“亲密的”。
[误]Come closely so that I can see you.
[正]Come close so that I can see you.
[误]Good teaching and good testing are close related.
[正]Good teaching and good testing are closely related.
[析]close,closely同样可以作副词用,但其意义不同,close是“靠近”、“接近”之意,而closely则是“紧密”、“严密”、“密切”之意。
[误]My school was quite close from my home.
[正]My school was quite close to my home.
[析]“与……接近”是close to ...,例如:
He was close to fifty.
There is a bus stop close to the station.
close, shut, turn
shut与close是同义词,如close the door或shut the door. 但要讲把某人关在门外时则只能用shut somebody out而不能用close,因shut语气较强,并含有隔离之意。而turn off是指关上电视、电灯、煤气之类,有切断之意。
8. cloth
[误]The children wear very good cloth to go to school.
[正]The children wear very good clothes to go to school.
[误]I need a lot of clothing. I'm going to make a new cloth.
[正]I need a lot of cloth. I'm going to make a new dress.
[析]cloth是“布”、“布料”,没有复数形式。一块布料是a piece of cloth,而clothes统指衣服,是复数名词,“一套衣服”要讲a suit of clothes,如果是“一件件衣服”应讲shirt,dress,sweater等。而clothing是衣物的总称,是不可数名词。例如:This clothing is needed in warm countries. Her clothes are made of fine cloth. 英语中的dress是指比较正式的服装,如a school dress(校服),a student dress(学生套装),a working dress(工作服)。
9. coffee
[误]Please give me two waters.
[正]Please give me two coffees.
[正]Please give me two cups of water.
[析]虽然coffee,water,tea等都是物质名词,但是只有coffee可用coffees取代若干杯coffee,而其他的却不行,其前要加a cup of或a glass of.
10. colour (color)
[误]Colours of flowers are red, yellow and white.
[正]Flowers are red, yellow and white.
[析]中文的“花的颜色有红色、黄色和白色”,若译为英文Colours of flowers are ...,就显得重复了。
[误]I like green colour.
[正]I like green.
[正]I like colour green.
[析]colour green中的colour是green的同位语,所以这种说话方式英语是可以接受的。 |
