[英文] 中國人最易犯錯的30句英語
中國人最易犯錯的30句英語 <br />
<br />
1.我非常喜歡。<br />
Incorrect: I very like it <br />
Correct: I like it very much. <br />
<br />
2. 這個價格對我挺合適的。 <br />
Incorrect: The price is very suitable for me. <br />
Correct: The price is right. <br />
<br />
Note：suitable(合適的、相配的)最常見的用法是以否定的形式出現在告示或通知上，如：下列節目兒童不宜。The following program is not suitable for children在這組句子中用後面的說法會更合適。 <br />
<br />
3. 你是做什麼工作的呢？<br />
Incorrect: What’s your job? <br />
Correct: Are you working at the moment? <br />
<br />
Note：what’s your job這種說法難道也有毛病嗎？是的。因為如果您的談話物件剛剛失業，如此直接的問法會讓對方有失面子，所以您要問：目前您是在上班嗎？Are you working at the moment?接下來您才問：目前您在哪兒工作呢？Where are you working these days?或者您從事哪個行業呢？What line of work are you in?順帶說一下，回答這類問題時不妨說得具體一點，不要只是說經理或者秘書 <br />
<br />
4. 用英語怎麼說？<br />
Incorrect: How to say? <br />
Correct: How do you say this in English? <br />
<br />
<br />
Note: How to say是在中國最為氾濫成災的中國式英語之一，這決不是地道的英語說法。同樣的句子有：請問這個詞如何拼寫？How do you spell that , please?請問這個單詞怎麼讀？How do you pronounce this word? <br />
<br />
5. 明天我有事情要做。<br />
Incorrect: I have something to do tomorrow? <br />
Correct: Sorry but I am tied up all day tomorrow. <br />
<br />
Note: 用I have something to do來表示您很忙，這也完全是中國式的說法。因為每時每刻我們都有事情要做，躺在那裡睡大覺也是事情。所以您可以說我很忙，脫不開身：I’m tied up.還有其他的說法： I can’t make it at that time. I’d love to, but I can’t, I have to stay at home. <br />
<br />
6. 我沒有英文名。<br />
Incorrect: I haven’t English name. <br />
Correct: I don’t have an English name. <br />
<br />
Note: 許多人講英語犯這樣的錯誤，從語法角度來分析，可能是語法功底欠缺，因為have在這裡是實義動詞，而並不是在現在完成時裡面那個沒有意義的助動詞。所以，這句話由肯定句變成否定句要加助動詞。 <br />
明白道理是一回事，習慣是另一回事，請您再說幾話：我沒有錢；I don’t have any money.我沒有兄弟姐妹；I don’t have any brothers or sisters.我沒有車。I don’t have a car. <br />
<br />
7. 我想我不行。<br />
Incorrect: I think I can’t. <br />
Correct: I don’t think I can. <br />
<br />
Note: 這一組然是個習慣問題，在語法上稱為否定前置，這就是漢語裏面說“我想我不會”的時候，英語裡面總是說“我不認為我會”。以後您在說類似的英語句子的時候，只要您留心，也會習慣英語的說法的。 <br />
<br />
8. 我的舞也跳得不好。<br />
Incorrect: I don’t dance well too. <br />
Correct: I am not a very good dancer either. <br />
(有大大提到 dancer後面要加 “ , “ 基本上 應該沒加沒關係的<br />
這個 可以跟提出的大大討論一下嗎? 最近我有學到 either的一些用法<br />
我在去問看看 確認一下)<br />
(此句不用添加豆號 確定無誤)<br />
<br />
Note: 當我們說不擅長做什麼事情的時候，英語裡面通常用not good at something，英語的思維甚至直接踴躍到：我不是一個好的舞者。 <br />
<br />
9. 現在幾點鐘了？<br />
Incorrect: What time is it now? <br />
Correct: What time is it, please? <br />
Note: What time is it now這是一個直接從漢語翻譯過的句子，講英語的時候沒有必要說now,因為您不可能問what time was it yesterday, 或者what time is it tomorrow?所以符合英語習慣的說法是：請問現在幾點了？還有一種說法是：How are we doing for time?這句話在有時間限制的時候特別合適。<br />
<br />
10. 我的英語很糟糕。<br />
Incorrect: My English is poor. <br />
Correct: I am not 100% fluent, but at least I am improving. <br />
<br />
Note: 有人開玩笑說，全中國人最擅長的一句英文是：My English is poor.實話說，我從來沒有遇到一個美國人對我說：My Chinese is <br />
poor. 無論他們的漢語是好是壞，他們會說: I am still having a few problem, but I am getting better. <br />
當您告訴外國人，您的英語很poor，so what(那又怎麼樣呢)，是要讓別人當場施捨給我們一些英語呢，還是說我的英語不好，咱們不談了吧。 <br />
另外一個更大的弊端是，一邊不停的學英語，一邊不停地說自己的英語很poor,這正像有個人一邊給車胎充氣，又一邊在車胎上札孔放氣。 <br />
我堅信，先不談別的，如果您現在就苦下功夫，把這本薄薄的《英語54321》吃通吃透，您的英語水準立即就會迅速的提高。所以您再也不用說：我的英語很poor. 您可以實事求事地說，我的英語還不算十分流利，但至少我在進步。 <br />
<br />
11. 你願意參加我們的晚會嗎？<br />
Incorrect: Would you like to join our party on Friday? <br />
Correct: Would you like to come to our party on Friday night? <br />
<br />
Note: join往往是指參加俱樂部或者協會，如：join a health club; join the Communist Party.事實上，常常與party搭配的動詞的come 或者go。如go to a wild party，或者come to a Christmas Party。 <br />
<br />
12. 我沒有經驗。<br />
Incorrect: I have no experience. <br />
Correct:I don’t know much about that. <br />
<br />
Note: I have no experience這句話聽起來古裏古怪，因為您只需要說：那方面我懂得不多，或者這方面我不在行，就行了。I am not really an expert in this area. <br />
<br />
13. 我沒有男朋友。<br />
Incorrect: I have no boyfriend. <br />
Correct: I don’t have a boyfriend. <br />
<br />
14. 他的身體很健康。<br />
Incorrect: His body is healthy. <br />
Correct: He is in good health. Or you can also say: He’s healthy. <br />
<br />
15. 價錢很昂貴/便宜。<br />
Incorrect: The price is too expensive/cheap. <br />
Correct: The price is too high/ rather low. <br />
<br />
16. 我們下了車。<br />
Incorrect: We got off the car. <br />
Correct: We got out of the car. <br />
<br />
17. 車速快了。<br />
Incorrect: The speed of the car is fast. <br />
Correct: The car is speeding. Or “The car is going too fast.” <br />
<br />
18. 這個春節你回家嗎？ <br />
Will you be going back home for the Spring Festival? <br />
是的，我回去。Of course! （這一句是錯的） <br />
當然。Sure. / Certainly.（這種說法是正確的） <br />
<br />
Note: 以英語為母語的人使用of course的頻率要比中國的學生低得多，當回答一些眾所周知的問題時才說of course。因為of course後面隱含的一句話是“當然我知道啦！難道我是一個傻瓜嗎？”因此，of course帶有挑釁的意味。在交談時，用sure或certainly效果會好得多。同時，of course not也具挑釁的意味。正常情況下語氣溫和的說法是certainly not. <br />
<br />
19. 我覺得右手很疼。<br />
Incorrect: I feel very painful in my right hand. <br />
Correct: My right hand is very painful. Or “My right hand hurts(aches).”<br />
<br />
20. 他看到她很驚訝。<br />
Incorrect: He looked at her and felt surprised. <br />
Correct: He looked at her in surprise. <br />
<br />
21. 我讀過你的小說但是沒料到你這麼年輕。<br />
Incorrect: I have read your novels but I didn't think you could be so young. <br />
Correct: After having read your novel, I expected that you would be older. <br />
<br />
22. 她臉紅了，讓我看穿了她的心思。 <br />
Incorrect: Her red face made me see through her mind. <br />
Correct: Her red face told me what she was thinking. <br />
<br />
23. 看到這幅畫讓我想到了我的童年時代。 <br />
Incorrect: The sight of these pictures made me remember my own childhood. <br />
Correct: Seeing these pictures reminded me of my own childhood. <br />
<br />
24. 別理她。<br />
Incorrect: Don't pay attention to her. <br />
Correct: Leave her alone. <br />
<br />
25. 我在大學裡學到了許多知識。 <br />
Incorrect: I get a lot of knowledge in the university. <br />
Correct: I learned a lot in university. <br />
<br />
26. 山姆正在讀書。 <br />
Incorrect: Samuel is reading a book. <br />
Correct: Samuel is reading. <br />
<br />
27. exciting / excited。 <br />
exciting令人興奮的;令人激動的<br />
excited 興奮的;激動的<br />
這類的用詞不指這兩個 其實還有很多其他的<br />
但是常常有人會搞混 <br />
exciting本身是形容某件事或東西讓人感到刺激<br />
舉個例子: We went to an exciting football game last week.<br />
意思是”我們上週看了場激動人心的足球比賽。”<br />
至於excited 則大多用在 人的情緒 或是形容一個人很高興<br />
舉個例子: She was excited to learn the news.<br />
她聽到這消息很興奮。<br />
或是: The excited children were opening their Christmas presents.<br />
興奮的孩子們在打開他們的耶誕禮物。<br />
(如果有錯誤務必提出)<br />
