中国人常说错的“16”句英语
中国人常说错的“16”句英语英语已与我们的生活密切相关,现在来看看我们常说错的16句英语。纠正从现在开始,告别Chinglish!:qq78]
1. 我很喜欢。
错误:I very like it
[color=red]正确:I like it very much.[/color]
2. 这个价格对我挺合适的。
错误:The price is very suitable for me.
[color=red]正确:The price is right.
[/color]Note:suitable (合适的、相配的)最常见的用法是以否定的形式出现在告示或通知上,如:下列节目儿童不宜。The following programme is not suitable for children在这组句子中用后面的说法会更合适。
3. 你是做什么工作的呢?
错误:What’s your job?
[color=red]正确:Are you working at the moment?
[/color]
Note:what’s your job这种说法难道也有毛病吗?是的。因为如果您的谈话对象刚刚失业,如此直接的问法会让对方有失面子,所以您要问:目前您是在上班吗?Are you working at the moment?接下来您才问:目前您在哪儿工作呢?Where are you working these days?或者您从事哪个行业呢?What line of work are you in? 顺带说一下,回答这类问题时不妨说得具体一点,不要只是说经理或者秘书。
4. 用英语怎么说?
错误:How to say?
[color=red]正确:How do you say this in English?
[/color]Note:How to say是在中国最为泛滥成灾的中国式英语之一,这决不是地道的英语说法。同样的句子有:请问这个词如何拼写?How do you spell that please?请问这个单词怎么读?How do you pronounce this word?
5. 明天我有事情要做。
错误:I have something to do tomorrow?
[color=red]正确:Sorry but I am tied up all day tomorrow.
[/color]用I have something to do来表示您很忙,这也完全是中国式的说法。因为每时每刻我们都有事情要做,躺在那里睡大觉也是事情。所以您可以说我很忙,脱不开身:I’m tied up.还有其他的说法:I can’t make it at that time. I’d love to, but I can’t, I have to stay at home.
6. 我没有英文名。
错误:I haven’t English name.
[color=red]正确:I don’t have an English name.
[/color]
Note:许多人讲英语犯这样的错误,从语法角度来分析,可能是语法功底欠缺,因为have在这里是实义动词,而并不是在现在完成时里面那个没有意义的助动词。所以,这句话由肯定句变成否定句要加助动词。明白道理是一回事,习惯是另一回事。我没有钱;I don’t have any money.我没有兄弟姐妹;I don’t have any brothers or sisters.我没有车。I don’t have a car.
7. 我想我不行。
错误:I think I can’t.
[color=red]正确:I don’t think I can.
[/color]
Note:这一组然是个习惯问题,在语法上称为否定前置,这就是汉语里面说“我想我不会”的时候,英语里面总是说“我不认为我会”。以后您在说类似的英语句子的时候,只要您留心,也会习惯英语的说法的,
8. 我的舞也跳得不好。
错误:I don’t dance well too.
[color=red]正确:I am not a very good dancer either.
[/color]
Note:当我们说不擅长做什么事情的时候,英语里面通常用not good at something,英语的思维甚至直接踊跃到:我不是一个好的舞者。
9. 我的英语很糟糕。
错误:My English is poor.
[color=red]正确:I’m not fluent, but at least I am improving.
[/color]
Note:有人开玩笑说,全中国人最擅长的一句英文是:My English is poor. 当您告诉外国人,您的英语很poor,so what(那又怎么样呢)。另外一个更大的弊端是,一边不停的学英语,一边不停地说自己的英语很poor,这正像有个人一边给车胎充气,又一边在车胎上扎孔放气。所以您再也不用说:我的英语很poor. 您可以实事求事地说,我的英语还不算十分流利,但至少我在进步。
10. 我没有经验。
错误:I have no experience.
[color=red]正确: I don’t know much about that.
[/color]
Note:I have no experience这句话听起来古里古怪,因为您只需要说:那方面我懂得不多,或者这方面我不在行,就行了。I am not really an expert in this area.
11. 我没有男朋友。
错误:I have no boyfriend.
[color=red]正确:I don’t have a boyfriend.
[/color]
12. 他的身体很健康。
错误:His body is healthy.
[color=red]正确:He is in good health. / He’s healthy.
[/color]
13. 价钱很昂贵/便宜。
错误:The price is too expensive/cheap.
[color=red]正确:The price is too high/ rather low.
[/color]14. 这个春节你回家吗?
Will you be going back home for the Spring Festival?
是的,我回去。Of course! (这一句是错的)
当然。Sure. / Certainly.(这种说法是正确的)
以英语为母语的人使用of course的频率要比中国人低得多,只有在回答一些众所周知的问题时才说of course。因为of course后面隐含的一句话是“当然我知道啦!难道我是一个傻瓜吗?”因此,of course带有挑衅的意味。在交谈时,用sure或certainly效果会好得多。同时,of course not也具挑衅的意味。正常情况下语气温和的说法是certainly not.
15. 我觉得右手很疼。
错误:I feel very painful in my right hand.
[color=red]正确:My right hand is very painful. Or “ My right hand hurts(aches).”
[/color]16. 他看到她很惊讶。
错误:He looked at her and felt surprised.
[color=red]正确:He looked at her in surprise.
[/color] Different culture have different words. It gives us a lesson that study the language with its culture is very important,otherwise we would make a lot of mistakes. Sorry but I am tied up all day tomorrow. me too:qq76] 谢谢分享。 这个偶还好,因为偶都不带说英语的,:o [b]回复 [url=http://bbs.tingroom.com/redirect.php?goto=findpost&pid=549949&ptid=258986]8#[/url] [i]安德森[/i] [/b]
