很多同学对句型掌握得不牢固,对相似句型分析不透彻,用起来易于混淆,造成错句。
1. 他不可能通过考试。
误:It is impossible of him to pass the exam.
正:It is impossible for him to pass the exam.
析:这是一个没有区别清楚“It is+adj.+of+sb. to do sth.”与“It is+adj.+for+sb. to do sth.”两句型的典型错误。如果句中的形容词与某人之间存在逻辑关系,用of以说明其本身所具有的特点。如:It is very kind of you to say so. (可以说:You are very kind.);如果句中的形容词与某人之间不存在逻辑关系则使用for。如:It is important for us to learn English well. (不能说:We are important.)。
2. 他去巴黎了。
误:He has been to Paris.
正:He has gone to Paris.
析:have been 表示某人去过某地,现在不在那里;has gone 表示某人到某地去了,现在不在这里。
3. 这是我有生以来第一次搭乘飞机。
误:This is the first time I took an airplane in my life.
正:This is the first time I have taken an airplane in my life.
析:This is the first time后面的从句应该用现在完成时,而It is time that后面的句子用一般过去时。如:该是上床睡觉的时间了。译为“Its time that we went to bed.”。
4. 他表示希望再到中国来访问。
误: He expressed the hope which he would come over to visit China again.
正:He expressed the hope that he would come over to visit China again.
析:误句是把同位语从句和定语从句混用。在同位语从句中,连词that不作句子成分,也无实际意义,只是用来引导同位语从句说明主句的内容。在定语从句中that或which一方面替代先行词,一方面引导从句,而且必须在定语从句中充当主语或宾语等成分。
5. 我昨天晚上直到10點才做完作业。
误:It was not until 10 oclock last night when I finished my homework.
正:It was not until 10 oclock last night that I finished my homework.
析:强调句与定语从句混用。“It+be+被强调成分+that / who+陈述句”构成强调句结构,如果被强调的是人则用that或who,其它用that。that或who不作成分也无实际意义。而定语从句中的when替代表示时间的先行词且在定语从句中作时间状语。
6. 过了大门你就会找到动物园的入口。
误:Go through the gate, youll find the entrance of the zoo.
正:Go through the gate, and youll find the entrance to the zoo.
正:If you go through the gate, youll find the entrance to the zoo.
析:误句中前后两部分无连接词,使整个句子不伦不类,既不是复合句也不是并列句。所以应该用if引导条件状语从句构成复合句,或者用and连结构成并列句。下面的构成也是错误的:If you go through the gate, and youll find the entrance to the zoo.。此外,表示“……的入口”用介词to。
