11. 你願意參加我們的晚會嗎?
錯: Would you like to join our party on Friday?
對: Would you like to come to our party on Friday night?
Note: join往往是指參加俱樂部或者協會,
如:join a health club; join the Communist Party.
事實上,常常與party搭配的動詞的come 或者go。
如go to a wild party,或者come to a Christmas Party。
12. 我沒有經驗。
錯: I have no experience.
對:I don't know much about that.
Note: I have no experience這句話聽起來古裏古怪,
因為您只需要說:那方面我懂得不多,或者這方面我不在行,就行了。
I am not really an expert in this area.
13. 我沒有男朋友。
錯: I have no boyfriend.
對: I don't have a boyfriend.
14. 他的身體很健康。
錯: His body is healthy.
對: He is in good health. Or you can also say: He's healthy.
15. 價錢很昂貴/便宜。
錯: The price is too expensive/cheap.
對: The price is too high/ rather low.
16. 我們下了車。
錯: We got off the car.
對: We got out of the car.
17. 車速快了。
錯: The speed of the car is fast.
對: The car is speeding. Or“The car is going too fast.”
18. 這個春節你回家嗎?
Will you be going back home for the Spring Festival?
是的,我回去。Of course! (這一句是錯的)
當然。Sure. / Certainly.(這種說法是正確的)
Note: 以英語為母語的人使用of course的頻率要比中國的學生低得多,
當回答一些眾所周知的問題時才說of course。
因為of course後面隱含的一句話是“當然我知道啦!難道我是一個傻瓜嗎?”
因此,of course帶有挑釁的意味。在交談時,用sure或certainly效果會好得多。
同時,of course not也具挑釁的意味。正常情況下語氣溫和的說法是certainly not.
19. 我覺得右手很疼。
錯: I feel very painful in my right hand.
對: My right hand is very painful. Or“My right hand hurts(aches).”
20. 他看到她很驚訝。
錯: He looked at her and felt surprised.
對: He looked at her in surprise.
