陷阱1 弄错人称代词的排列顺序
有两个或两个以上的人称代词并列时,一般是这样排序的:单数按2―3―1;复数按1―2―3。但在承认错误时,就将I放在最前面了。如:
You, he, and I are good
friends. 你我他都是好朋友。
We, you and they have been
there. 你们、我们和他们都去过那儿。
陷阱2 受汉语影响错用物主代词
如汉语说“我校”,说成英语应是my
school,而不能是 I
school;又如汉语说“他妈”,说成英语应是his
mother,而不能是 he
mother。
另外,有的同学受汉语影响,漏掉必用的物主代词,如汉语说“摇头”,说成英语应是
shake one’s head,而不是
shake head;汉语说“照看父母”,说成英语可以是look
after one’s
parents,但不能是look
after parents。
陷阱3 混淆(a) few与(a)
little的用法
(1) 他没什么驾驶经验。
误:He has few
driving experience.
正:He has
little driving experience.
析:few 只能用来说明可数名词,其后接的名词总是用复数。与之相比,
little则用来说明不可数名词。
(2) 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,含有否定意味; 而 a few 表示数量虽不多,但毕竟还有,含有肯定意味。
陷阱4 混用表示两者或三者的不定代词
他们有一对儿女,但一个都不对他们好。
误:They had a son and a
daughter, but none of them was kind to them.
正:They had a son and a
daughter, but
neither of them was kind to them.
析:
neither 和 none 的区别是:前者用于两者,后者用于三者。
陷阱5 误解反身代词用作表语的用法
反身代词在be, feel, look, seem等系动词后作表语,表示身体或精神状态处于正常。如:
I’m not
quite myself these days. 我近来身体不大舒服。
I’ll be
myself again in no time. 我过一会儿就会好的。
I don’t know what’s the
matter with me. I’m not
myself today. 我不知道怎么啦。今天我感觉不舒服。
陷阱6 误用相互代词作主语
相互代词通常只用作宾语,不用作主语,所以对于以相互代词作宾语的句子通常不能变为被动语态。另外,不仅each
other 和one
another不能用作主语,而且如果一个名词一旦受到each
other’s, one
another’s修饰语,那么它不能用作主语。如:
他们寄给对方的信都及时送到了。
误:Each
other’s
letters arrived in time.
正:
Their letters to each
other arrived in time.
