学英语那么久,有没有你一直用错的句子呢?快来看看下面的表达你是否也用错了?
1 我没有英文名
I haven’t English name.✖
I don’t have an English name.✔
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。
同样的句式:
我没有钱
I don't have any money.
我没有车
I don't have a car.
2 我想我不行
I think I can't.✖
I don't think I can.✔
这一组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”。
3 我的舞也跳得不好
I don't dance well too.✖
I am not good at dancing either.✔
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。
甚至英语的思维直接踊跃到:我不是一个好的舞者。
4 现在几点钟了?
What time is it now?✖
What time is it, please?✔
What time is it now这是一个直接从汉语翻译过的句子,讲英语的时候没有必要说now,因为不可能问what time was it yesterday或者what time is it tomorrow。
所以符合英语习惯的说法是:请问现在几点了?
5 我们下了车
We got off the car.✖
We got out of the car.✔
6 车速快了
The speed of the car is fast.✖
The car is speeding.✔
Or: The car is going too fast.✔
列车运行的快,可以用fast形容,速度"speed"的衡量应该是"高低"。
高速,低速,用high 和low,高铁的英文就可以说High-speed rail.
The train travels very fast.
列车开的很快。
I'll get to my hometown quickly on the high-speed train..
我坐这趟高速车就能很快到家。
7 我很喜欢它
I very like it.✖
I like it very much.✔
8 我觉得右手很疼
I feel very painful in my right hand.✖
My right hand is very painful.✔
Or: My right hand hurts(aches).✔
9 别理她
Don't pay attention to her.✖
Leave her alone.✔
10 我在大学里学到了许多知识
I get a lot of knowledge in the university.✖
I learned a lot in university.✔
