擴(kuò)展:中國(guó)人最易犯錯(cuò)的16句英語(yǔ)
1. I very like it
I like it very much.
2. 這個(gè)價(jià)格對(duì)我挺合適的。
The price is very suitable1 for me.
The price is right.
Note:suitable(合適的、相配的)最常見(jiàn)的用法是以否定的形式出現(xiàn)在告示或通知上,如:下列節(jié)目兒童不宜。The following programme2 is not suitable for children在這組句子中用后面的說(shuō)法會(huì)更合適。
3. 你是做什么工作的呢?
What’s your job?
Are you working at the moment?
Note:what’s your job這種說(shuō)法難道也有毛病嗎?是的。因?yàn)槿绻恼勗拰?duì)象剛剛失業(yè),如此直接的問(wèn)法會(huì)讓對(duì)方有失面子,所以您要問(wèn):目前您是在上班嗎?Are you working at the moment?接下來(lái)您才問(wèn):目前您在哪兒工作呢?Where are you working these days?或者您從事哪個(gè)行業(yè)呢?What line of work are you in?順帶說(shuō)一下,回答這類問(wèn)題時(shí)不妨說(shuō)得具體一點(diǎn),不要只是說(shuō)經(jīng)理或者秘書(shū)
4. 用英語(yǔ)怎么說(shuō)?How to say?
How do you say this in English?
Note:How to say是在中國(guó)最為泛濫成災(zāi)的中國(guó)式英語(yǔ)之一,這決不是地道的英語(yǔ)說(shuō)法。同樣的句子有:請(qǐng)問(wèn)這個(gè)詞如何拼寫?How do you spell that please?請(qǐng)問(wèn)這個(gè)單詞怎么讀?How do you pronounce this word?
5. 明天我有事情要做。I have something to do tomorrow?
Sorry but I am tied up all day tomorrow.
用I have something to do來(lái)表示您很忙,這也完全是中國(guó)式的說(shuō)法。因?yàn)槊繒r(shí)每刻我們都有事情要做,躺在那里睡大覺(jué)也是事情。所以您可以說(shuō)我很忙,脫不開(kāi)身:I’m tied up.還有其他的說(shuō)法:I’m I can’t make it at that time. I’d love to, but I can’t, I have to stay at home.
6. 我沒(méi)有英文名。I haven’t English name.
I don’t have an English name.
Note:許多人講英語(yǔ)犯這樣的錯(cuò)誤,從語(yǔ)法角度來(lái)分析,可能是語(yǔ)法功底欠缺,因?yàn)閔ave在這里是實(shí)義動(dòng)詞,而并不是在現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)里面那個(gè)沒(méi)有意義的助動(dòng)詞。所以,這句話由肯定句變成否定句要加助動(dòng)詞。明白道理是一回事,習(xí)慣是另一回事,請(qǐng)您再說(shuō)幾話:我沒(méi)有錢;I don’t have any money.我沒(méi)有兄弟姐妹;I don’t have any brothers or sisters.我沒(méi)有車。I don’t have a car.
7. 我想我不行。I think I can’t.
I don’t think I can.
Note:這一組然是個(gè)習(xí)慣問(wèn)題,在語(yǔ)法上稱為否定前置,這就是漢語(yǔ)里面說(shuō)“我想我不會(huì)”的時(shí)候,英語(yǔ)里面總是說(shuō)“我不認(rèn)為我會(huì)”。以后您在說(shuō)類似的英語(yǔ)句子的時(shí)候,只要您留心,也會(huì)習(xí)慣英語(yǔ)的說(shuō)法的,
8. 我的舞也跳得不好。
I don’t dance well too.
I am not a very good dancer either.
Note:當(dāng)我們說(shuō)不擅長(zhǎng)做什么事情的時(shí)候,英語(yǔ)里面通常用not good at something,英語(yǔ)的思維甚至直接踴躍到:我不是一個(gè)好的舞者。
