備戰2020中考英語總復習資料
[誤] both of your answers are not right.
[正] neither of your answers is right.
[正] both your answers are wrong.
[析] both不能用于否定句中作主語。表示"兩者都不"時要用neither;但作賓語時both與either則都對,但要注意句意有所不同。例如:i cannot give both of the books to you. (我不能將兩本書全給你。)而i cannot give either of the books to you. (兩本書中哪本書也不能給你。)
bring
[誤] please bring this dictionary to mr brown.
[正] please take this dictionary to mr brown.
[誤] next time, please take your little sister here.
[正] next time, please bring your little sister here.
[析] 英語中bring是"帶來",而take是"帶走"。還有一個詞fetch, 表示"到某處去把某物取、接回來"。如:please fetch the doctor at once.
business
[誤] my father went to shanghai for business.
[正] my father went to shanghai on business.
[析] on business出差
busy
[誤] the students were very busy to prepare for the exam.
[正] the students were very busy preparing for the exam.
[析] be busy doing something為"忙于作某事"
[誤] the students were busy for the exam.
[正] the students were busy with the exam.
[析] busy直接接名詞時應用with.
but
[誤] he couldn't help but realizing that he was wrong.
[正] he couldn't help but realize that he was wrong.
[誤] she couldn't help to cry when she saw her mother.
[正] she couldn't help crying when she saw her mother.
[析] couldn't help其后應接動名詞,表示情不自禁的動作,但couldn't help but后面要加動詞原形即省to的不定式,所以前一句應譯為"他才真正認識到他錯了。"
buy
[誤] i have bought this dictionary for three years.
[正] i have had this dictionary for three years.
[析] buy是截止性(即瞬間)動詞,它可以有完成時,如:i have bought this dictionary. 但是不能與表示較長的時間狀語連用。如要講我這本字典已買了3年了則要用have had這一結構即我擁有這本字典已3年了。
by
[誤] the boy shot the cat by a gun.
[正] the boy shot the cat with a gun.
[誤] he came to school by a taxi this morning.
[正] he came to school by taxi this morning.
[析] 作為某種運輸手段來講,by與名詞間不能有冠詞,如:by car, by bike, by air等。如有了冠詞或其他修飾詞,則應用別的相應的介詞,如:"我們今天早上是乘他的車來的"一句應譯為:we came here in his car this morning.與by結合而成的詞組很多,常用的有:by the way順便說說;by hand手工制作;by oneself獨自地;by no means決不。
