中式英语大扫除.doc

1、 中式英语大扫除，地道表达看这里！中式英语大扫除，地道表达看这里！ 中国人在学习英语时， 由于中西方文化差异和语言表达习惯不同， 往往会说出或写出以 英语为母语的人理解不了的英语句子，有的完全是 Chinglish (中式英语)，闹出笑话。比如: “做早操对你的身体有好处” 的英语表达不是 “Doing morning exercises is good for your body.” 而是“Doing morning exercises is good for your health.又如:“他适合这项新工作吗?”不是 “Does he fit the new job?而是“Does the

2、 new job fit him?再如:“他耳朵听不见”不是“His ears are deaf.”而是“He is deaf ( in both ears). 本编文章主要是纠正中国人说写英语所犯的错误，即“中式英语”错误。每组句子都采 取误正句对比的形式， 进行矫正分析， 使学生能够在对比中知错， 迅速知道病句的症结所在， 避免再犯类似的错误。 a (great )deal of 大量，相当多 例句 教授给了我许多书。 【误用】 The professor gave me a great deal of books. 【正确】 The professor gave me a great n

3、umber of books. 【说明】 a great deal of 表示“许多.”的意思，只能修饰不可数名词，谓语动词用单数形 式。类似的短语还有 a great deal of。 例句 对这个问题他们谈了很多。 【误用】They talked a great deal of about the problem. 【正确】They talked a great deal about the problem. 【说明】a great deal 后面没有名词时，不加 of。 as.as 和.一样 例句 他和她一样是位好老师。 【误用】 He is as a good teacher as h

4、er. 【正确】 He is as good a teacher as her. 【说明】在 as.as.结构中，第一个 as 是副词，不能修饰名词，因此要将形容词 good 提前。 例如: Your mother is not as young and strong as she used to be.你妈妈现在可不如从前那样年 轻、强壮了。注意:在肯定句中，as.as.也可以说成 so.as.,但在否定句中只能说 so.as.。 as far as 远到，远至;至于 例句 我一直送他到车站。 【误用】I saw him as far as to the station. 【正确】I saw

5、 him as far as the station. 【说明】as far as 中已经含有“到达”“远至”的意思，再使用 to 就语义重复了。例如: Hell go with you as far as the station for company. 他将陪你到车站。 as follows 如下所述 例句 说明如下。 【误用】The explanation is as follow. 【正确】The explanation is as follows. 【说明】无论谓语动词是单数还是复数，“如下” 一律使用 as follows,不说 as follow。 as good as 和.一样

6、，等于 例句 这台 DVD 播放器用了两年，看上去还像新的一样。 【误用】 This DVD player has been used for two years and looks as well as new. 【正确】 This DVD player has been used for two years and looks as good as new. 【说明】as well as 是“也”“又”的意思，as good as 是“和.一样”“等于” “简直是”的意思，两者不能混淆。 as much as 与.一样 例向 汤姆与约翰一样擅长数学。 【误用】 Tom as much as

7、 John were good at mathematics. 【正确】Tom as much as John was good at mathematics. 【说明】as much as 与主语连用时，并不影响主语的数。 as soon as 一.就. 例向 他一来， 我们就告诉他。 【误用】 As soon as he will come, well let him know. 【正确】As soon as he comes, well let him know. 【说明】在 as soon as 引导的时间状语从句里，要用一般现在时表示一般将来时。 as though 好像 例向 他看

8、上去似乎累了。 【误用】 He looks as though he is tired. 【正确】 He looks as though he were tired. 【说明】as though 和 as if 一样是“好像.似的”“仿佛.似的”的意思， 它所讲述的情况是主观想象的或夸大事实的，与实际情况不相符，所以要用虚拟语气。 as well 还，也 例句 这个小女孩不仅会唱歌，还会弹钢琴。 【误用】The little girl not only sings, and she as well plays the piano. 【正确】 The little girl not only s

9、ings, and she plays the piano as well. 【说明】 as well 在肯定句中是“还”“也”的意思，与 too 同义，通常放在句末作状语。 as well as 也， 同样地; 即.又.,不仅.而且. 例句 老师以及学生都想参观博物馆。 【误用】 The teacher as well as the students want to visit the museum. 【正确】The teacher as well as the students wants to visit the museum. 【说明】 as well as 是并列连词，当其连接两个主
