初中英语典型错误100例
51. 过去只须我有空,我就去看电影。
误:I used to go to the cinema whenever I had free.
正:I used to go to the cinema whenever I was free.
正:I used to go to the cinema whenever I had free time.
析:注意 free是形容词,不是名词,不可以用作动词have的宾语。要表示汉语的“有空”,可考虑用be free或have free time等。
52. 他已跟她这个比他大五岁的女生交上了朋友。
误:He has made friend with the girl who is five years older than him.
正:He has made friends with the girl who is five years older than him.
析:make friends with 是习语,其意为“与……交朋友”,其中的friends一直用复数,不管介词with后接的名词是单数还是复数。
53. 那儿的所有人对大家都非常友好。
误:All the people there treated us friendly.
正:All the people there treated us in a friendly way.
析:在现代英语中,friendly 只用作形容词,不需要作副词。要表示“友好地”之意,英语可用 in a friendly way 或用 in a friendly manner 等表达。
54. 自那次战争以来,他一直住在海外。
误:He has been abroad from the war.
正:He has been abroad since the war.
析:from用于时间表示“从”,一般只表示时间的起点,要表示从过去某一时间一直持续到目前,应用介词 since。
55.与他共事非常有意思。
误:It’s a great fun working with him.
正:It’s great fun working with him.
析:fun是一个不可数名词,它不与不定冠词连用,也不需要复数形式。
56.大家大部分人都去过欧洲两次。
误:Most of us have gone to Europe twice.
正:Most of us have been to Europe twice.
析:have been to 与have gone to不同:前者指“去过某地”,可以与表示次数的词汇连用;后者指“到某地去了”,强调目前不在说话的地方,它不与表示次数的词汇连用。
57.发生的事我哪个也不告诉。
误:I won’t tell anybody what is happened.
正:I won’t tell anybody what has happened.
析:happen表示“发生”时,是不及物动词,因此不需要于被动语态,同时也不可以后接宾语,如“他昨天出事了”,不可以说成:He happened an accident yesterday. 可说成:He met with an accident yesterday.
58. 我过去见过大象。
误:I ever saw an elephant.
正:I once saw an elephant.
析:汉语中说“过去”,完全可以用于一定句,但在英语中,ever 却一般不需要于一定句表示“过去”如此的意思,遇此状况可考虑用once等。注:ever有时可用在一定的定语从句中表示“过去”。如:This is the best story that Iever heard. 这是我过去听过的最好的故事。
59. 路的两边都种有树。
误:There are trees on every side of the road.
正:There are trees on each side of the road.
正:There are trees on both sides of the road.
析:every 表示“每”,指三者或三者以上的人或事物,不可以指两者。指两者中的“每”,英语可用 each。
60. 这类书中的每一本我都爱。
误:I like everyone of these books.
正:I like every one of these books.
析:everyone 与 every one 有什么区别是:前者只能指人,不可以指物,且其后一般不后接 of 短语;后者可以指人也可以指物,其后可以接 of 短语。
