當中有些也不能說是錯。例如:
26. 山姆正在讀書。
Incorrect: Samuel is reading a book.
Correct: Samuel is reading.
Samuel is reading a book也不能說是錯，因為他可以是reading newspaper，
如果只說Samuel is reading也只可以說"山姆正在閱讀"不是"讀書"。
那就要看講者是否要註明是"看書"。
Samuel is reading.
只是一個大方向的說法而以。
Correct的部份有些只能說是意譯。例如:
17. 車速快了。
Incorrect: The speed of the car is fast.
Correct: The car is speeding. Or “The car is going too fast.”
The car is speeding. Or “The car is going too fast.”只
能說成"車子超速 or 車子太快"。但"車速快了"就是由快到更快的意思。
如果用"The Speed/car is getting faster" 會比較好。
