大学英语常见动词的错误用法
动词是英语最容易犯错的此类,下面是小编分享的大学英语常见动词错误用法,希望能帮到大家!
①He remained in the Holiday Inn.
②The flowers stayed on the branches.
英语的remain是“留下来”;stay是“暂住”。显然的,①和 ② 是不合逻辑的,
remained 和stayed必须互换。
③A crook robbed her money.
④A few masked men stole a small bank last night.
虽然robbed和stole都是及物动词,有自己的宾语,但是它们在这里的用法不当。
Steal要跟着被偷的东西,如钱财、珠宝等;rob的宾语是“人”或“处所”。因此,③和④的robbed和stole要掉转一下。
⑤ Sam raises very early every morning.
⑥ The monitor rises his hand to ask a question.
大家知道,raise是个及物动词,意思是“举起”,要有宾语; rise是个不及物动词,意思是“起身”,不可有宾语。这里的 ⑤ 和⑥都错;raises和rises必须对换才对。
类似的例子还有下面这些:
⑦ a. mend b. repair
这两个动词都是“修理”;不同的是:简单的工作,用mend;复杂的或需要特别仪器的事项,则用repair,如:
⑦a. You can mend the broken part of the page with glue.
⑦b. It took some time to repair the road.
⑧a. burned b. burnt
这两个动词是burn的过去式和过去分词;在句子中的岗位不同,通常有宾语时用“burnt”,没宾语时用“burned”,如:
⑧a. The love of freedom burned in our hearts./ The candle has burned
brightly for the whole night.
⑧b. Who has burnt the paper?/ Jane burnt all the letters from her former
boyfriend.
至于“动词”和“助动+介词”的误用,我们可以看下面两组例子:
⑨ The police searched the suspects in the shopping centre, but nobody was arrested.
⑩ I searched for my pocket and found some coins.
从语感就知道,⑨和⑩里的searched和searched for是倒置了。 ⑨要的是“寻找”(searched for);⑩要的是“检查”(searched ),两者对换才是。
(11) The boy says when he grows, he will be a teacher.
(12) Their business grows up rapiding.
英语的grow是“发展”;grow up是“长大”。显然的,(11)和(12) 的两个动词又误用了,要对调一下。
