初中英语 词语误用20例

隋东菊

1. 我很长时间没有收到她的来信了。

误：I haven’t heard from her letter for a long time.

正：I haven’t heard from her for a long time.

析：hear from sb.相当于get/ receive a letter from sb.，因此不可在hear from后加letter。

2. 虽然天很晚了，但他们仍继续工作。

误：Though it was late， but they still went on working.

正：Though it was late， they still went on working.

析：漢语的“虽然……但是……”译成英语时，用了though就不可再用but;同样，用了but，就不可再用though。故此句也可说成：It was late， but they still went on working.

3. 我和他都没去过长城。

误：Neither he nor I have not been to the Great Wall.

正：Neither he nor I have been to the Great Wall.

析：“neither…nor…”意为“两者都不”，本身已含否定意义，故不可再加否定词not。

4. 我希望你们俩明天都能来参加聚会。

误：I hope that both you two can come to the party tomorrow.

正：I hope that you two can come to the party tomorrow.

正：I hope that both of you can come to the party tomorrow.

析：both与two都指“两个”，不可一起使用。

5. 这只箱子要比那只重得多。

误：This box is much more heavier than that one.

正：This box is much heavier than that one.

析：much修饰形容词、副词的比较级和最高级。heavier是heavy的比较级，前面不需加more。

6. 昨天他们是步行去车站的。

误：They walked to the station on foot yesterday.

正：They walked to the station yesterday.

正：They went to the station on foot yesterday.

析：walk本身有“步行（on foot）”的意思，用了walk，若再用on foot，显然是画蛇添足。

7. 这本书多少钱？

误：How much is the price of the book？

正：What is the price of the book？

正：How much is the book？

析：“How much is/ are…？”意为“……价钱是多少？”，其后不可与price连用。

8. 学校离我家很近。

误：Our school is near from my home.

正：Our school is near my home.

析：句子中的near是介词，不能与from连用（有时可用near to形式）。

9. 我还没有做完家庭作业。

误：I still haven’t finished doing my homework yet.

正：I still haven’t finished doing my homework.

正：I haven’t finished doing my homework yet.

析：still和yet都可用于否定句中，表示“还、仍然”之意，但不可用于同一个句子中，still一般位于表示否定的助动词前，yet用于否定句句末。

10. 你离开之前要先关灯。

误：You must turn off the light down before you leave.

正：You must turn off the light before you leave.

析：句中的down是多余的，应去掉。

11. 你喜欢喝茶还是喝咖啡？

误：Which do you prefer more， tea or coffee？

正：Which do you prefer， tea or coffee？

正：Which do you like better， tea or coffee？

析：prefer本身有“较喜欢（like better）”之意，如果句中用了prefer，就不必再用more。

12. 你应当保管好你的东西。

误：You should take good care of your things carefully.

正：You should take good care of your things.

析：take good care of有“认真保管好”之意，故不必再用副词carefully。

13. 这男孩名叫约翰。

误：The name of the boy is called John.

正：The name of the boy is John.

析：name与be called不能同时使用。

14. 她一回来，我就立即告诉你。

誤：As soon as she comes back， I’ll let you know at once.

正：As soon as she comes back， I’ll let you know.

析：as soon as有“立刻”之意，从句中用了as soon as，主句中就不能再用at once，right now， right away之类的词了。

15. 滑雪是她最喜爱的运动。

误：Skiing is her most favourite sport.

正：Skiing is her favourite sport.

析：favourite本身含有“最喜爱（like best）”之意，前面不能再用most修饰。又如：My favourite subject is English.

16. 韩梅吃完早饭就急急忙忙去上学了。

误：After breakfast， Han Mei hurried to go to school.

正：After breakfast， Han Mei hurried to school.

析：hurry相当于move quickly，本身含有“走”之意，后面不可再接go，walk，run之类的动词，但可接名词或动词不定式形式。如：She hurried to the post office. /They have to hurry away to catch the bus.

17. 大家都非常喜欢这个男孩。

误：Everyone all likes the little boy very much.

正：Everyone likes the little boy very much.

析：everyone有“每个人，大家”的意思，用了everyone或everybody就不必再用all了。

18. 他说他将在两个月以后回来。

误：He says he will be back in two months later.

正：He says he will be back in two months.

析：in用在将来时句子中有“在某段时间之后”的意思，故in two months后不需加later。此外，later与after也不可用在同一句中。试比较：

三年后，我遇见了她。

误：After three years later， I met her.

正：After three years， I met her.

正：Three years later， I met her.

19. 太阳从东方升起。

误：The sun rises up in the east.

正：The sun rises in the east.

析：rise相当于come up，故up是多余的。

20. 所有的图书必须在下星期一前还给图书馆。

误：All the books must be returned back to the library before next Monday.

正：All the books must be returned to the library before next Monday.

析：return相当于give back，不应在return后再加back。
