概要: ■ 春天是我最喜欢的季节。 误:Spring is my most favourite season. 正:Spring is my favourite season. 析:favourite 用作形容词时,表示“最喜欢的”,因本身已含有 “最”这样的意思,因此它通常不与 most 连用,以免语义重复。 ■ 玻璃摸起来是光滑的。 误:Glass is felt smooth. 误:Glass is feeling smooth. 误:Glass feels to be smooth. 正:Glass feels smooth. 析:feel用作连系动词,表示“摸起来”,要注意以下用法:一是要以被摸之物作主语;二是句意虽有被动意味,但是不能用被动式;三是不用于进行时态;四是其后不接 to be.注:feel用作连系动词,表示“感觉”时,可以用于进行进态,如:How are you feeling now? 你现在

■ 玻璃摸起来是光滑的。
误:Glass is felt smooth.
误:Glass is feeling smooth.
误:Glass feels to be smooth.
正:Glass feels smooth.
析:feel用作连系动词,表示“摸起来”,要注意以下用法:一是要以被摸之物作主语;二是句意虽有被动意味,但是不能用被动式;三是不用于进行时态;四是其后不接 to be.注:feel用作连系动词,表示“感觉”时,可以用于进行进态,如:How are you feeling now? 你现在感觉如何?
■ 这次考试很难,没几个学生及格。
误:The exam is very difficult, and a few students passed.
正:The exam is very difficult, and few students passed.
析:few 表示数量很少或几乎没有,强调“少”,含有否定意味;而 a few 表示数量虽不多,但毕竟还有,强调“有”,含有肯定意味。比较:The exam is very difficult, but a few students passed. 这次考试很难,但还是有几个学生及格。
■ 你会发现他这个人很难相处。
误:You will find difficult to get along with him.
正:You will find it difficult to get along with him.
析:误句主要是根据中文意思直译而错,其实 find 作为动词,其后不可能接形容词作宾语。find 在此的正确结构是“find+形式宾语(it)+宾语补足语+真正宾语”。
■ 他说完话后是一片沉默。
误:There was a deadly silence after she had finished to speak.
正:There was a deadly silence after she had finished speaking.
析:finish(完成)后接动词时,要用动名词,不能用不定式。

误:The fire was saved by more than 100 firemen.

误:It‘s the first time that he lost a game.
正:It‘s the first time that he has lost a game.

■ 这件连衣裙不合我的身,你有大一点尺寸的吗?
误:This dress doesn‘t suit me. Have you got a larger size?
正:This dress doesn‘t fit me. Have you got a larger size?
析:fit 用作动词时,表示“适合”,通常是指大小尺寸等方面的“适合”,表示颜色、款式等方面的“适合”,英语通常是用 suit.比较:This dress doesn‘t suit me. Have you got another style? 这件连衣裙不适合我穿,你还有其他的式样吗?
■ 别忘了代我向他们问好。
误:Don‘t forget giving my regards to them.
正:Don‘t forget to give my regards to them.
析:forget后接动词时,可用不定式或动名词,但是意思不同:接不定式表示忘记要做的事情(不定式所表示的动作未发生),接动名词则表示忘记已经做过或已经发生过的事情(动名词的表示的动作已发生)。比较:I forgot to pay him. 我忘记付给他钱了(钱未付)。I forgot paying him. 我忘记曾给他付过钱了(钱已付)。
■ 过去只要我有空,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(空闲的)是形容词,不是名词,不能用作动词have的宾语。要表示汉语的“有空”,可考虑使用be free或have free time等。
