常用英語(yǔ)錯(cuò)誤口語(yǔ)75類
不知大家有沒有這樣的感覺:英語(yǔ)學(xué)得多了,平時(shí)說話也會(huì)在無意間冒出幾句。但很多人都沒意識(shí)到,這些我們說起來很自然的英語(yǔ)其實(shí)有很多都是錯(cuò)的!下面我們就來細(xì)數(shù)一下這些常用英語(yǔ)錯(cuò)誤口語(yǔ),以便大家加以改正,免得在歪果仁面前出洋相!
常用英語(yǔ)口語(yǔ)錯(cuò)誤
1.別理她。
誤:Dont pay attention to her.
正:Leave her alone.
2.我很喜歡它。
誤:I very like it.
正:I like it very much.
3.這個(gè)價(jià)格對(duì)我挺合適的。
誤:The price is very suitable for me.
正:The price is right.
注:"suitable" (合適的、相配的) 最常見的用法是以否定的形式出現(xiàn)在告示或通知上,如:"The following programme is not suitable for children."
4.用英語(yǔ)怎么說?
誤:How to say in English?
正:How do you say this in English?
注:在中國(guó),"How to say"可謂是濫用現(xiàn)象最為嚴(yán)重的一種說法,而它根本不是地道的英文表達(dá)方式,應(yīng)盡量避免在交流中使用。
5.明天我有事情要做。
誤:I have something to do tomorrow.
正:Sorry but I am tied up all day tomorrow.
注:用"I have something to do"來表示"很忙",這也是典型的中式英語(yǔ)。因?yàn)槊繒r(shí)每刻我們都有事情要做,躺在那里睡大覺也是事情。可以這樣表達(dá)"我很忙,脫不開身":Im tied up。當(dāng)然還有其他的說法,比如:Im afraid I cant make it at that time. Id love to, but I cant, I have to stay at home.
6.我沒有英文名。
誤:I havent English name.
正:I dont have an English name.
注:許多人講英語(yǔ)犯這樣的錯(cuò)誤,從語(yǔ)法角度來分析,可能是語(yǔ)法功底欠缺,因?yàn)?have"在這里是實(shí)義動(dòng)詞,而并不是在現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)里面那個(gè)沒有意義的助動(dòng)詞。所以,這句話由肯定句變成否定句要加助動(dòng)詞。
7.我想我不行。
誤:I think I cant.
正:I dont think I can.
注:這一組然是個(gè)習(xí)慣問題,在語(yǔ)法上稱為否定前置,這就是漢語(yǔ)里面說"我想我不會(huì)"的時(shí)候,英語(yǔ)里面總是說"我不認(rèn)為我會(huì)"。
8.我的舞也跳得不好。
誤:I dont dance well too.
正:I am not a very good dancer either.
注:當(dāng)我們說不擅長(zhǎng)做什么事情的時(shí)候,英語(yǔ)里面通常用"not good at something"。
9.現(xiàn)在幾點(diǎn)鐘了?
誤:What time is it now?
正:What time is it, please?
注:"What time is it now"這是一個(gè)直接從漢語(yǔ)翻譯過的句子,講英語(yǔ)的時(shí)候沒有必要說"now",因?yàn)槟悴豢赡軉?what time was it yesterday"或者"what time is it tommorow"。
10.我的英語(yǔ)很糟糕。
誤:My English is poor.
正:I am not 100% fluent, but at least I am improving.
注:有人開玩笑說,全中國(guó)人最擅長(zhǎng)的一句英文是"My English is poor"。然而外國(guó)人并不會(huì)對(duì)我們說"My Chinese is poor"。他們會(huì)說"I am still having a few problem, but Im getting better." 因?yàn)槟愀嬖V對(duì)方你的英文 (或中文) 很弱又能如何,那咱就不談了?顯然不行!
11.你愿意參加我們的晚會(huì)嗎?
誤:Would you like to join our party on Friday?
正:Would you like to come to our party on Friday night?
注:"join"往往是指參加俱樂部或者協(xié)會(huì),如"join a health club","join the Communist Party"。事實(shí)上,常與"party"搭配的動(dòng)詞是"come"或"go"。如"go a wild party",或者"come to a Christmas Party"。
12.我沒有經(jīng)驗(yàn)。
誤:I have no experience.
正:I am afraid I dont know much about that.
注:對(duì)老外來說,"I have no experience"這句話聽起來很怪異,因?yàn)橹恍枰f"那方面我懂得不多",或者"這方面我不在行"就可以了,如:I am not really an expert in this area.
13.我沒有男朋友。
誤:I have no boyfriend.
正:I dont have a boyfriend.
14.他的身體很健康。
誤:His body is healthy.
正:He is in good health. / Hes healthy.
15.價(jià)錢很昂貴/便宜。
誤:The price is too expensive / cheap.
正:The price is too high / rather low.
16.我們下了車。
誤:We got off the car.
正:We got out of the car.
17.車速快了。
誤:The speed of the car is fast.
正:The car is speeding. / The car is going too fast.
18.這個(gè)春節(jié)你回家嗎?
Will you be going back home for the Spring Festival?
誤:是的,我回去。Of course! (這一句是錯(cuò)的)
正:當(dāng)然。Sure. / Certainly. (這種說法是正確的)
注:以英語(yǔ)為母語(yǔ)的人使用"of course"的頻率要比中國(guó)人低得多,只有在回答一些眾所周知的問題時(shí)才說"of course"。因?yàn)?of course"后面隱含的一句話是"當(dāng)然我知道啦!難道我是傻瓜嗎?" 因此,"of course"帶有些許挑釁的意味。在交談時(shí),用"sure"或"certainly"效果會(huì)好得多,同理,"of course not"也不如"certainly not"。
19.他看到她很驚訝。
誤:He looked at her and felt surprised.
正:He looked at her in surprise.
