隋東菊

1. 我很長時間沒有收到她的來信了。

誤：I haven’t heard from her letter for a long time.

正：I haven’t heard from her for a long time.

析：hear from sb.相當于get/ receive a letter from sb.，因此不可在hear from后加letter。

2. 雖然天很晚了，但他們?nèi)岳^續(xù)工作。

誤：Though it was late， but they still went on working.

正：Though it was late， they still went on working.

析：漢語的“雖然……但是……”譯成英語時，用了though就不可再用but;同樣，用了but，就不可再用though。故此句也可說成：It was late， but they still went on working.

3. 我和他都沒去過長城。

誤：Neither he nor I have not been to the Great Wall.

正：Neither he nor I have been to the Great Wall.

析：“neither…nor…”意為“兩者都不”，本身已含否定意義，故不可再加否定詞not。

4. 我希望你們倆明天都能來參加聚會。

誤：I hope that both you two can come to the party tomorrow.

正：I hope that you two can come to the party tomorrow.

正：I hope that both of you can come to the party tomorrow.

析：both與two都指“兩個”，不可一起使用。

5. 這只箱子要比那只重得多。

誤：This box is much more heavier than that one.

正：This box is much heavier than that one.

析：much修飾形容詞、副詞的比較級和最高級。heavier是heavy的比較級，前面不需加more。

6. 昨天他們是步行去車站的。

誤：They walked to the station on foot yesterday.

正：They walked to the station yesterday.

正：They went to the station on foot yesterday.

析：walk本身有“步行（on foot）”的意思，用了walk，若再用on foot，顯然是畫蛇添足。

7. 這本書多少錢？

誤：How much is the price of the book？

正：What is the price of the book？

正：How much is the book？

析：“How much is/ are…？”意為“……價錢是多少？”，其后不可與price連用。

8. 學(xué)校離我家很近。

誤：Our school is near from my home.

9. 我還沒有做完家庭作業(yè)。

誤：I still haven’t finished doing my homework yet.

正：I still haven’t finished doing my homework.

正：I haven’t finished doing my homework yet.

析：still和yet都可用于否定句中，表示“還、仍然”之意，但不可用于同一個句子中，still一般位于表示否定的助動詞前，yet用于否定句句末。

10. 你離開之前要先關(guān)燈。

誤：You must turn off the light down before you leave.

正：You must turn off the light before you leave.

析：句中的down是多余的，應(yīng)去掉。

11. 你喜歡喝茶還是喝咖啡？

誤：Which do you prefer more， tea or coffee？

正：Which do you prefer， tea or coffee？

正：Which do you like better， tea or coffee？

析：prefer本身有“較喜歡（like better）”之意，如果句中用了prefer，就不必再用more。

12. 你應(yīng)當保管好你的東西。

誤：You should take good care of your things carefully.

正：You should take good care of your things.

析：take good care of有“認真保管好”之意，故不必再用副詞carefully。

正：The name of the boy is John.

析：name與be called不能同時使用。

14. 她一回來，我就立即告訴你。

誤：As soon as she comes back， I’ll let you know at once.

正：As soon as she comes back， I’ll let you know.

析：as soon as有“立刻”之意，從句中用了as soon as，主句中就不能再用at once，right now， right away之類的詞了。

15. 滑雪是她最喜愛的運動。

誤：Skiing is her most favourite sport.

正：Skiing is her favourite sport.

析：favourite本身含有“最喜愛（like best）”之意，前面不能再用most修飾。又如：My favourite subject is English.

16. 韓梅吃完早飯就急急忙忙去上學(xué)了。

誤：After breakfast， Han Mei hurried to go to school.

正：After breakfast， Han Mei hurried to school.

析：hurry相當于move quickly，本身含有“走”之意，后面不可再接go，walk，run之類的動詞，但可接名詞或動詞不定式形式。如：She hurried to the post office. /They have to hurry away to catch the bus.

17. 大家都非常喜歡這個男孩。

誤：Everyone all likes the little boy very much.

正：Everyone likes the little boy very much.

析：everyone有“每個人，大家”的意思，用了everyone或everybody就不必再用all了。

18. 他說他將在兩個月以后回來。

誤：He says he will be back in two months later.

正：He says he will be back in two months.

析：in用在將來時句子中有“在某段時間之后”的意思，故in two months后不需加later。此外，later與after也不可用在同一句中。試比較：

三年后，我遇見了她。

誤：After three years later， I met her.

正：After three years， I met her.

正：Three years later， I met her.

19. 太陽從東方升起。

誤：All the books must be returned back to the library before next Monday.

正：All the books must be returned to the library before next Monday.

析：return相當于give back，不應(yīng)在return后再加back。
