常用英语错误口语75类
不知大家有没有这样的感觉:英语学得多了,平时说话也会在无意间冒出几句。但很多人都没意识到,这些我们说起来很自然的英语其实有很多都是错的!下面我们就来细数一下这些常用英语错误口语,以便大家加以改正,免得在歪果仁面前出洋相!
常用英语口语错误
1.别理她。
误:Dont pay attention to her.
正:Leave her alone.
2.我很喜欢它。
误:I very like it.
正:I like it very much.
3.这个价格对我挺合适的。
误:The price is very suitable for me.
正:The price is right.
注:"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:"The following programme is not suitable for children."
4.用英语怎么说?
误:How to say in English?
正:How do you say this in English?
注:在中国,"How to say"可谓是滥用现象最为严重的一种说法,而它根本不是地道的英文表达方式,应尽量避免在交流中使用。
5.明天我有事情要做。
误:I have something to do tomorrow.
正:Sorry but I am tied up all day tomorrow.
注:用"I have something to do"来表示"很忙",这也是典型的中式英语。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。可以这样表达"我很忙,脱不开身":Im tied up。当然还有其他的说法,比如:Im afraid I cant make it at that time. Id love to, but I cant, I have to stay at home.
6.我没有英文名。
误:I havent English name.
正:I dont have an English name.
注: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。
7.我想我不行。
误:I think I cant.
正:I dont think I can.
注: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"。
8.我的舞也跳得不好。
误:I dont dance well too.
正:I am not a very good dancer either.
注: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"。
9.现在几点钟了?
误:What time is it now?
正:What time is it, please?
注:"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",因为你不可能问"what time was it yesterday"或者"what time is it tommorow"。
10.我的英语很糟糕。
误:My English is poor.
正:I am not 100% fluent, but at least I am improving.
注:有人开玩笑说,全中国人最擅长的一句英文是"My English is poor"。然而外国人并不会对我们说"My Chinese is poor"。他们会说"I am still having a few problem, but Im getting better." 因为你告诉对方你的英文 (或中文) 很弱又能如何,那咱就不谈了?显然不行!
11.你愿意参加我们的晚会吗?
误:Would you like to join our party on Friday?
正:Would you like to come to our party on Friday night?
注:"join"往往是指参加俱乐部或者协会,如"join a health club","join the Communist Party"。事实上,常与"party"搭配的动词是"come"或"go"。如"go a wild party",或者"come to a Christmas Party"。
12.我没有经验。
误:I have no experience.
正:I am afraid I dont know much about that.
注:对老外来说,"I have no experience"这句话听起来很怪异,因为只需要说"那方面我懂得不多",或者"这方面我不在行"就可以了,如:I am not really an expert in this area.
13.我没有男朋友。
误:I have no boyfriend.
正:I dont have a boyfriend.
14.他的身体很健康。
误:His body is healthy.
正:He is in good health. / Hes healthy.
15.价钱很昂贵/便宜。
误:The price is too expensive / cheap.
正:The price is too high / rather low.
16.我们下了车。
误:We got off the car.
正:We got out of the car.
17.车速快了。
误:The speed of the car is fast.
正:The car is speeding. / The car is going too fast.
18.这个春节你回家吗?
Will you be going back home for the Spring Festival?
误:是的,我回去。Of course! (这一句是错的)
正:当然。Sure. / Certainly. (这种说法是正确的)
注: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!难道我是傻瓜吗?" 因此,"of course"带有些许挑衅的意味。在交谈时,用"sure"或"certainly"效果会好得多,同理,"of course not"也不如"certainly not"。
19.他看到她很惊讶。
误:He looked at her and felt surprised.
正:He looked at her in surprise.
