請先做下面的小測驗,選出正確表達的句子,看看你是否會犯類似的一些錯誤呢?
1. 我八點鐘回家了。
A. I returned back home at eight.
B. I returned home at eight.
2. 兩打雞蛋
A. two dozen of eggs
B. two dozen eggs
3. 吃藥
A. take medicine
B. eat medicine
4. 他可能會來。
A. He is possible to come.
B. It is possible for him to come.
這四個題的答案為:
1. B2. B3. A 4. B
具體分析如下:
1. return就相當于go/come back,所以它不能與back疊用。類似的還有:表示“進入”直接用enter the house,不說enter into the house。 “舉手”我們說raise one’s hand,不說raise up one’s hand。
2. dozen一打(12個)。它的用法是:
一打蘋果 one(a)dozen apples
兩打雞蛋 two dozen eggs
注意:dozen前有數字時,dozen后不加s,也不要用of。
3. have 表吃、喝某物時,多用于“喝茶、咖啡、酒、牛奶”,“抽煙”等。drink單獨用指“喝酒”,也可以跟些飲料、液體名詞表示喝某物。take多用在“吃藥”上。我們一般說:have a drink, have a meal, drink some juice, take pills, take medicine等。
4. 類似possible, impossible, hard, convenient, difficult, easy這樣的形容詞常用于指事,而少用于人,所以當我們表達相關意思時,都用It is + adj. +(for sb.)+ to do sth. 的句型。如:
It is easy for me to read this book.
It is difficult for him to go to sleep.
It is convenient to go there by bus.
