備戰2020中考英語總復習資料
coffee
[誤] please give me two waters.
[正] please give me two coffees.
[正] please give me two cups of water.
[析] 雖然coffee, water, tea等都是物質名詞,但是只有coffee可用coffees取代若干杯coffee,而其他的卻不行,其前要加a cup of或a glass of.
colour(color)
[誤] colours of flowers are red, yellow and white.
[正] flowers are red, yellow and white.
[析] 中文的"花的顏色有紅色、黃色和白色",若譯為英文colours of flowers are…,就顯得重復了。
[誤] i like green colour.
[正] i like green.
[正] i like colour green.
[析] colour green中的colour是green的同位語,所以這種說話方式英語是可以接受的。
come
[誤] i came across with an old friend in the street yesterday.
[正] i came across an old friend in the street yesterday.
[析] come across是"偶然碰見、遇見",要直接加賓語,如:i've just come across a beautiful poem in this magazine.
[誤] where do you come from?
i come from the station.
[正] where did you come from?
i came from the station.
[正] where do you come from?
i come from china.
[析] where do you come from?意為"你是什么地方的人?"而where did you come from?則是"你從何處來?"
[誤] the stars are coming out from the cloud.
[正] the stars are coming out of the cloud.
[析] come out of意為"從……地方出來"。
come in come into enter
come in與come into的意義相同,但come into后面要加賓語,而come in后面不用賓語。如i found someone came into my room. the door opened and the child came in.
enter常作為及物動詞使用,如:the bus entered the english tunnel.
congratulate
[誤] i want to congratulate you for your success with all my heart.
[正] i want to congratulate you on your success with all my heart.
[析] 動詞congratulate somebody on something是"向某人祝賀某事"。其名詞congratulation在用時一般要用復數,如:i offered him my congratulations on his success.
又如:congratulations!
cook
[誤] my father is a good cooker.
[正] my father is a good cook.
[析] 很多動詞加上er則變為執行該動作的一種人,如workworker,teachteacher. 但cook即是動詞"做飯",同時名詞也是"廚師"。而cooker則是"廚具"、"炊具"之意。如:i will cook the dinner. i bought a good press cooker(高壓鍋)。
corner
[誤] there is a post office in the corner of the street.
[正] there is a post office at the corner of the street.
[誤] a girl sat at the corner of the room.
[正] a girl sat in the corner of the room.
[析] in the corner是在建筑物內部的角上,而at the corner是在外部的角上,如:there is a big tree at the corner of the building.
