Unit 3
⒈ 【friendly】张莉莉跟我们很要好。
误:Zhang Lili is friendly to us.
正:Zhang Lili is friendly with us.
析:friendly to表示“对某人表示或采取友好的态度”,而friendly with 表示“跟某人相识,与某人要好、交朋友”。
⒉ 【shy】别不好意思告诉我你想要什么。
误:Dont be shy about telling me what you want.
正:Dont be shy of telling me what you want.
析:be shy of是固定词组,表示“不好意思做某事、犹豫不想做某事”,用of不用about。
⒊ 【the other】请睁开你的另一只眼睛。
误:Please open your another eye.
正:Please open your other eye.
析:another指三者或三者以上的另一个, the other指两个东西中的另一个,your other在此等于the other。
⒋ 【so】由于天快要下雨,所以我们歇手吧。
误:As it is going to rain, so lets stop working.
正:As it is going to rain, lets stop working.
正:It is going to rain, so lets stop working.
析:汉语中“因为……所以……”,不能用as…so,这是因为as是从属连词,so是并列连词,两者不能同时使用。
⒌ 【during】我生病期间,睡得不好。
误:During I was sick I couldnt sleep well.
正:While I was sick, I couldnt sleep well.
析:during是介词,不能连接从句,应用连接词while引导时间状语从句。
⒍ 【relax】晚饭后,我们常常听音乐来获得休息。
误:After supper we often listen to music and relax our body and mind.
正:After supper we often listen to music and relax.
析:relax是“身心放松、休息、休养”,本身含有oneself, ones mind, ones body,因此our body and mind是多余的。
Unit 4
⒈ 【police】警察正在追赶一个小偷。
误:The police is running after a thief.
正:The police are running after a thief.
析:police作主语时,谓语用复数形式。police作警察时相当于policemen/policewomen。
⒉ 【dangerous】他在那条河里游泳有危险。
误:He is dangerous to swim in that river.
正:It is dangerous for him to swim in
that river.
析:dangerous用作表语“可能引起危险的”,句子的主语对别人有危害,因此人放在后面。
⒊ 【sometimes】我有时给在上海的妈妈写信。
误:I sometime write to my mother in
Shanghai.
正:I sometimes write to my mother in
Shanghai.
析:sometimes“有时”,一般用于一般现在时,而sometime表示“在将来或过去的某个时候”。
⒋ 【give】这是一本书,请给她。
误:This is a book, please give her it.

⒌ 【wear】他经常穿棕色的鞋子。
误:He is often wearing brown shoes.

⒎ 【newspaper】我在一张报纸上看到了你的名字。
误:I saw your name on a newspaper.

⒏ 【news】这里有你的好消息。
