back?
[误]Imsorry.Ihavetobackhome.?
[正]Imsorry.Ihavetogobackhome.?
[正]Imsorry.Ihavetogohome.?
[析]back用作"回到(某处)"之意,不是动词。?
be?
[误]Wheredoyoufrom??
[正]Whereareyoufrom??
[析]"你从何处来"应为Whereareyoufrom?或Wheredoyoucomefrom?但要注意这两句话均是问对方从哪个国家来的。要是口语中问"你是从什么地方来?"应讲Wheredidyoucomefrom?回答用Icamefromthelibrary.?
beat?
[误]Wehavewonyourclass.?
[正]Wehavebeatenyourclass.?
[正]Wehavewonthegame.?
[析]win是胜过之意,它是及物动词,但其后的宾语只能接比赛、战争、奖品、奖金的名称,如:Whichteamwonthefootballmatch?而beat指打败对手、敌人……如:Mybrotherbeatmeatpoker.(要注意的是,beat的过去式与原形相同,而过去分词为beaten)。?
[误]Theballbeatmebadly.?
[正]Theballhitmebadly.?
[误]Heusedtohitthelittleboyblackandblue.?
[正]Heusedtobeatthelittleboyblackandblue.?
[析]beat指打击多次,而hit则为击中对方的一次性打击。?
beautiful?
[误]Heisabeautifulboy.?
[正]Heisahandsomeboy.?
[析]我们可以讲Sheisabeautifulgirl.Thisisabeautifulpark.但要讲男人的"英俊"时要用handsome.?
because?
[误]ThereasonwhyIwaslateisbecauseIwasill.?
[正]ThereasonwhyIwaslateisthatIwasill.?
[误]BecauseitwasSunday,sotheparkwascrowded.?
[正]BecauseitwasSundaytheparkwascrowded.?
[析]这种错误是因为中文的习惯与英语的表述法不同,中文常讲我来晚了的原因是因为我病了,而英文中的第二个因为要用that代替。又因中文常讲因为……所以……,而英文中用了因为就不能再用所以了,同样用了"所以"也就不要再用"因为"一词。例如:Becausewestudyhard,wepassedtheexameasily.或者:Westudyhardsowepassedtheexameasily.?
becausebecauseof?
because后要接从句,例如:Welikephysicsbecausewecanlearnalotofnewideas.而becauseof后要接名词作介词宾语,如:Heisnotatschoolbecauseoftheillness.?
before?
[误]Wehavetwohourstokillbeforewewillgohome.?
[正]Wehavetwohourstokillbeforewegohome.?
[析]killtime意为"消磨时光"。?
英语状语从句中要用一般现在时表示将来的动作。如:Ifitrainswewillnotgotothepark.
[误]Ididthisworktwodaysbefore.?
[正]Ididthisworktwodaysago.?
[析]用ago组成的时间状语其主句中的谓语动词要用过去时,而before引起的时间状语其主句中的谓语动词多用完成时,如:Ihasdonethisworkafewdaysbefore.?
beforelonglongbefore?
beforelong是"不久"之意,例如:IshallgotoAmericabeforelong.而longbefore则是"很久很久"之意,如:Weknewthisteacherlongbeforewesawhim.(我们在看到这位老师之前很久就知道他了。)?
begin?
[误]ThemeetingwillbeginfromMonday.?
[正]ThemeetingwillbeginonMonday.?
[误]Thefilmhasbegunfortenminutes.?
[正]Thefilmhasbeenonfortenminutes.?
[析]begin是瞬间动词,所以它的完成时态不能接表示一段时间的状语,如:Thefilmhasbegun.这句话是对的,即"电影已经开始"。但要讲已经开始10分钟了则要用hasbeenon即"上演了10分钟"。?
beginstart?
begin与start两词后面加不定式或动名词都可以,且意思并无区别,但在表达习惯时接动名词的用法较多,如:HowoldwernyouwhenyoufirststartedlearningEnglish?但这两个词的进行时态中则多用不定式,如:Iwasbeginningtogethungry.但如果句子的主语是物而不是人,则多用不定式,如:Theicebegantomelt.Itstartedtogetdarkbeforewegottoschool.当动词是表达某种心理状态时,要用不定式,如:Thestudentbegantounderstandhismistakes.?
[误]Theystudyhardintheclassfromthebeginningtotheend.?
[正]Theystudyhardintheclassfrombeginningtoend.?
[析]frombeginningtoend是习惯用法,即自始至终,不要加冠词,但如单独使用则要加冠词,例如:Atthebeginning,theteachergaveusanexam.?
behind?
[误]Hemissedtheclassbecausehewasbehindthetime.?
[正]Hemissedtheclassbecausehewasbehindtime.?
[析]behindtime一短语意为"晚了",而behindthetimes意为"落后于时代"。behind是介词同时又是副词,如Comeoutfrombehindthedoor(介词).Hesalongwaybehind(副词).Hefellbehindwithhisclassmates(副词).?
below?
[误]Whatsthatbelowthechair.?
[正]Whatsthatunderthechair.?
[析]under意为"正下方",而below意为"比……低",或指"在下游"。如:Thereisafallbelowtheriver.(河的下游有一个瀑布。)其反义词为over,如:Thereisabigplaneflyingoverthecity.但在"下面的例子"一表达语中则要用theexamplebelow,而不要用under.?
beside?
[误]Thestudentsstoodbesidestheteacher.?
[正]Thestudentsstoodbesidetheteacher.?
[误]IstudyEnglishbesideChinese.?
[正]IstudyEnglishbesidesChinese.?
[析]beside意为"在……旁边",而besides是"除……以外(还如何)"。?
besidebynear?
beside意为"在……旁",如:Thereisatalltreebesidetheriver.by多指"倚、靠"、"沿着"之意,如:Sheisstandingbythewindow.near多用来表示两地间距离不远,如:Thereisapostofficenearourschool.?
better?
[误]Youhadbettertodoitathome.?
[正]Youhadbetterdoitathome.?
[误]Youhadntbetterwakemeupatsix.?
[正]Youhadbetternotwakemeupatsix.?
[析]hadbetter在肯定句中为"应该作某事",其后加不带to的不定式,而在否定句中应用hadbetter+not+动词原形。在简答语中had常省略为d,如:Youdbetternot.又如:
?Lets?gofirst.No,wedbetternot.?
between?
[误]Amongthetwotreesthereisaspaceofthefeet.?
[正]Betweenthetwotreesthereisaspaceofthefeet.?
[析]两者之间多用between,三者或三者以上之间则用among.?
[误]Youmustchoosebetweenthiscluborthatclub.?
[正]Youmustchoosebetweenthisclubandthatclub.?
[析]在两个之间作出选择要用between…and…,而不能用between…or….?
big?
[误]Therewasabigrainlastnight.?
[正]Therewasaheavyrainlastnight.?
[析]大雨在英语中只能用aheavyrain而不要用abigrain.?
bit?
[误]Heisabitfool.?
[正]Heisabitofafool.?
[析]abit可以作程度副词,与alittle相同,但它用于名词前应用abitof,而用于形容词前则应用abit,如:Imabittired,而其简答的否定句应为Notabit,(一点儿也不。)又如:?
-DoyoumindifIopenthedoor??
-Notabit.?
black?
[误]Thechildrenbecameblackafterswimminginthesea.?
[正]Thechildrenbecamesunburnedafterswimminginthesea.?
[析]因太阳照晒而皮肤变黑,不应用black而应用sunburned,suncolour或dark.?
[误]Thegirlhasblackeyesandblack
hair.?
[正]Thegirlhasdarkeyesandblackhair.?
[析]英语中blackeyes的意思是被打得发青的眼睛。?
[误]TheEuropeanslikeredtea.?
[正]TheEuropeanslikeblacktea.?
[析]红茶在英文中应为blacktea.这种惯用法还有:blackandblue(鼻青脸肿,青一块紫一块);black?and?white(黑白电视片)。goblack意为"在失去知觉时眼前一片黑暗";lookblack意为"情况不妙,前景暗淡"。如:Afterthefighthewasblackandblue.OnTV,Ilikecolourforsomethingandblack?and?whiteforothers.?
body?
[误]Goingtobedearlierandgettingupearlierisgoodforyourbody.?
[正]Goingtobedearlierandgettingupearlierisgoodforyourhealth.?
[析]中文常讲对你身体有利,而英文中则讲对你健康有利。?
borrow?
[误]MayIlendsomebooksfromthelibrary??
[正]MayIborrowsomebooksfromthelibrary??
[误]HowlongcanIborrowit??
[正]HowlongcanIkeepit??
[析]英语中有三个词都可译为"借",但意义各不相同如:"借入"是borrow,其常用句型结构是borrowsomethingfromsomebody,这是个瞬间性动词,不可与表示延续的时间状语连用。例如:Thestudentswanttoborrowsomebooksfromthelibrary."借出"用lend,即借给别人东西。其常用句型是lendsomebodysomething,或lendsomethingtosomebody.例如:Couldyoulendusyourdictionary?或Couldyoulendyourdictionarytous?它也是瞬间性动词,也不能与延续的时间状语连用。keep则是延续性动词,可以和表示长时间段的时间状语连用,也可与howlong等疑问词连用,如:Youcankeepitforthreedays.?
born(bear的过去分词)?
[误]IborninShanghai.?
[正]IwasborninShanghai.?
[误]HewasbornfromGreekparents.?

[正]Boththebrotherswerestudents.?
[正]Bothbrotherswerestudents.?
[析]当both与形容词性物主代词my,his,her等以及定冠词the连用时,都应将这些词置于both之后。另外,在与定冠词连用时the可以省略。?
[误]Bothofmyparentsarenotathome.?
[正]Neitherofmyparentsareathome.?
[误]Bothofyouranswersarenotright.?
[正]Neitherofyouranswersisright.?
[正]Bothyouranswersarewrong.?
[析]both不能用于否定句中作主语。表示"两者都不"时要用neither;但作宾语时both与either则都对,但要注意句意有所不同。例如:Icannotgivebothofthebookstoyou.(我不能将两本书全给你。)而Icannotgiveeitherofthebookstoyou.(两本书中哪本书也不能给你。)?
bring?
[误]PleasebringthisdictionarytoMrBrown.?
[正]PleasetakethisdictionarytoMrBrown.?
[误]Nexttime,pleasetakeyourlittlesisterhere.?
[正]Nexttime,pleasebringyourlittlesisterhere.?

[正]Hecouldnthelpbutrealizethathewaswrong.?
[误]Shecouldnthelptocrywhenshesawhermother.?
[正]Shecouldnthelpcryingwhenshesawhermother.?
[析]couldnthelp其后应接动名词,表示情不自禁的动作,但couldnthelpbut后面要加动词原形即省to的不定式,所以前一句应译为"他才真正认识到他错了。"
?
buy?
[误]Ihaveboughtthisdictionaryforthreeyears.?
[正]Ihavehadthisdictionaryforthreeyears.?
[析]buy是截止性(即瞬间)动词,它可以有完成时,如:Ihaveboughtthisdictionary.但是不能与表示较长的时间状语连用。如要讲我这本字典已买了3年了则要用havehad这一结构即我拥有这本字典已3年了。?
by?
[误]Theboyshotthecatbyagun.?
[正]Theboyshotthecatwithagun.?
[误]Hecametoschoolbyataxithismorning.?
[正]Hecametoschoolbytaxithismorning.?
[析]作为某种运输手段来讲,by与名词间不能有冠词,如:bycar,bybike,byair等。如有了冠词或其他修饰词,则应用别的相应的介词,如:"我们今天早上是乘他的车来的"一句应译为:Wecamehereinhiscarthismorning.?与by结合而成的词组很多,常用的有:bytheway顺便说说;byhand手工制作;byoneself独自地;bynomeans决不。?
C

[正]IllcallonMrBrown.?
[误]IllcallonMrBrownshome.?
[正]IllcallatMrBrownshome.?
[析]作"拜访"讲时,at后面接访问地点,而on后面接访问的人。
?callondropinvisit?
callon比较正式的为公务的访问,如:Wewerecalledonbytheoldstudents.而dropin则是比较随便的走走,顺便拜访,如:Ifyourefree,dropin.而visit则是更正式的外交访问或友好往来,如:MyschoolsheadmasterwillvisitAmericanextweek.?
can?
[误]Ablindmancannotjudgecolours.?
[正]Ablindmancannotjudgecolours.?

[正]Icantcallforyouatten.?
[析]can的否定形式应为cannot或cant.?
[误]Itsonlysixoclock.Thatmustntbethepostman.?
[正]Itsonlysixoclock.Thatcantbethepostman.?
[析]must用来表示一种肯定的推断,如:Shemusthavesomeproblems.Shekeepscrying.但在否定句中则要用cant,要表示对过去的推测则要用"must+have+过去分词"的表达法,如:Thelightshavegoneout.Afusemusthaveblown.而对过去的否定推测则多用"?cant?+have+过去分词",如:Idontthinkhecanhaveheardyou.Callagain.?
[误]Wecouldnothelptolaughatonce.?
[正]Wecouldnothelplaughingatonce.?
[正]Wecouldnothelpbutlaughatonce.?

canbeableto?
can与beableto都可以用来表示能力,但can只有现在时与过去时,beableto则可用任何时态,如:Hewillbeabletoteachthechild.但要表示经过努力而达到的一次性动作则只能用beableto,如:Hefinallywasabletojumpover2?10meters.或:Theplanewasabletoflyoverthemountain.但要注意的是这两个词都没有进行时态,而beableto后面不接不定式的被动态。?
cancould?
can与could都可以用在现在时的口语中,只是用could更为礼貌,语气更委婉。如:Couldyoutellusastory?
care?
[误]Idontcarecoffee.?
[正]Idontcareforcoffee.?
[误]Takecareforyoursteps.?
[正]Takecareofyoursteps.?
[析]carefor是"对某物感兴趣",而careof是"关心,要当心某事",如:Shedidntcareforhim.Takecareofwhatyouaredoing.?

clean?
[误]Sorry,Ididntboughtithere.Icleanlyforgot.?
[正]Sorry,Ididntboughtithere.Icleanforgot.?
[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:Theknifedoesntcutcleanly.而clean作为形容词讲时意为"清洁的"、"干净的",如:Herfaceisnotcleannow.?

[析]cleverat是固定搭配,表示在某方面有特长。?
close?
[误]Itiscoldoutside.Pleasekeepthedoorclose.?
[正]Itiscoldoutside.Pleasekeepthedoorclosed.?
[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]ComecloselysothatIcanseeyou.?
[正]ComeclosesothatIcanseeyou.?
[误]Goodteachingandgoodtestingarecloserelated.?
[正]Goodteachingandgoodtestingarecloselyrelated.?

[正]Myschoolwasquiteclosetomyhome.?
[析]"与……接近"是closeto…,例如:?
Hewasclosetofifty.?
Thereisabus?stopclosetothestation.?
closeshutturn?
shut与close是同义词,如closethedoor或shutthedoor.但要讲把某人关在门外时则只能用shutsomebodyout而不能用close,因shut语气较强,并含有隔离之意。而turnoff是指关上电视、电灯、煤气之类,有切断之意。?
cloth?
[误]Thechildrenwearverygoodclothtogotoschool.?
[正]Thechildrenwearverygoodclothestogotoschool.?
[误]Ineedalotofclothing.?
Imgoingtomakeanewcloth.?
[正]Ineedalotofcloth.?
Imgoingtomakeanewdress.?
[析]cloth是"布"、"布料",没有复数形式。一块布料是apieceofcloth,而clothes统指衣服,是复数名词,"一套衣服"要讲asuitofclothes,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:Thisclothingisneededinwarmcountries.Herclothesaremadeoffinecloth.?英语中的dress是指比较正式的服装,如aschooldress(校服),astudentdress(学生套装),aworkingdress(工作服)。?
coffee?
[误]Pleasegivemetwowaters.?
[正]Pleasegivemetwocoffees.?
[正]Pleasegivemetwocupsofwater.?

colour(color)?

[正]Flowersarered,yellowandwhite.?
[析]中文的"花的颜色有红色、黄色和白色",若译为英文Coloursofflowersare…,就显得重复了。?

[析]colourgreen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。?
come?

[析]comeacross是"偶然碰见、遇见",要直接加宾语,如:Ivejustcomeacrossabeautifulpoeminthismagazine.?
[误]Wheredoyoucomefrom??
Icomefromthestation.?
[正]Wheredidyoucomefrom??
Icamefromthestation.?

congratulate?
[误]Iwanttocongratulateyouforyoursuccesswithallmyheart.?
[正]Iwanttocongratulateyouonyoursuccesswithallmyheart.?

又如:Congratulations!?
cook?
[误]Myfatherisagoodcooker.?
[正]Myfatherisagoodcook.?
[析]很多动词加上?er则变为执行该动作的一种人,如work?worker,teach?teacher.但cook即是动词"做饭",同时名词也是"厨师"。而cooker则是"厨具"、"炊具"之意。如:Iwillcookthedinner.Iboughtagoodpresscooker(高压锅)。?
corner?
[误]Thereisapostofficeinthecornerofthestreet.?
[正]Thereisapostofficeatthecornerofthestreet.?

cost?
[误]Icosttendollarsforthebook.?
[正]Ispenttendollarsonthebook.?

country?
[误]Youcanfindcowsinacountry.?
[正]Youcanfindcowsinthecountry.?
[析]country即可作"国家"讲,也可作"农村"讲。当作"农村"讲时,一定要加定冠词,而且只有单数形式。例如:?
[误]Farmersliveinthecountries.?
[正]Farmersliveinthecountry.?
[析]但作为"国家"讲时则可有单、复数形式,例如:JapanisanAsiancountry.Japan,China,andIndiaareAsiancountries.另外,country一般指的是地理概念上的国家,如:NewZealandisanagriculturalcountry.而nation多指民族组成的国家,如:TheChinesenation(中华民族)。state多侧重于政权方面的区域、国家范围,如:thestatefarm(国营农场)。?

crowd?
[误]Theroomsoonwascrowdedbypeople.?
[正]Theroomsoonwascrowdedwithpeople.?
[析]crowded在这句话中应作为形容词,所以这句话不是被动语态而是系表结构,如:Theroomwascrowdedwithbooks.?
cup?
[误]Asilverglasswasgiventothewinner.?
[正]Asilvercupwasgiventothewinner.?
[误]Mymotherwaslookingforthewhiskycup.?
[正]Mymotherwaslookingforthewhiskyglass.?
[析]glass一般指由玻璃制成的器皿,而cup多指用陶瓷或金属制成的杯子,且cup尤其用在奖杯上。喝酒多用的是玻璃制成的杯子,如我们讲Idrinkaglassofwineatsupper.而不讲Idrinkacupofwineatsupper.?

dresshaveonputonwear?
要区别这几个动词需分清是表示动作的动词还是表示状态的动词。表示状态的动词是haveon和wear,如:Hehasonawhitecoat.Hewaswearingheavyshoes.而puton则表示穿衣的动作,如:Putonyourcoat,itiscoldoutside.而dress即可以作状态又可以作动作,作动作讲时其后面接人而不能接衣服,作穿着状态时则多用dressed的形式。如:Isawaladydressedinred.Isawagirldressingherself.?

[析]where是疑问副词。?
whether?
[误]Itisunknownifhewillcome.?
[正]Itisunknownwhetherhewillcome.?
[析]if不能引导主语从句。上句中it是形式主语,其后的从句才是真正的主语从句。要注意以下各种情况不宜用if而要用whether:?

③Iminterestedinwhetherhellgo.(因作介词的宾语从句。)?
④Iwanttoknowthenewswhetherourteamwillwin.(同位语从句。)?

who?
[误]Whomdoyouthinkwouldliketocomeforagameoffootball??
[正]Whodoyouthinkwouldliketocomeforagameoffootball??
