在今天的这篇文章里,我将列举同学们在写英语作文时经常出现的一些错误,并分析错误原因,给出修改后的正确用法。
01
1.?Only in this way, you can improve your ability and obtain more working experience??(×)
| 错因
only放在句首修饰副词、介词短语或状语从句的话,句子要部分倒装。
| 订正
Only in this way, can you improve your ability?
and obtain more working experience
02
2.?He is a hard-working student, but he?lacks?
of?the ability to think independently.?(×)
| 错因?
lack 可以直接做及物动词,表示 “没有、缺乏”,后面跟宾语即可。lack做名词时,才会在后面加of, 如:Our?plans?fell?through?because?of
?lack?of?money.我们的计划由于缺钱而落空了。
| 订正
He is a hard-working student, but he?lacks?the?
ability to think independently.?
03
3.?In my opinion, I have listed the following?
three points.?(×)
| 错因
在in my opinion 后面,应该是一句观点性的话语,即明确说出你的观点, 然后才是“理由如下”,“理由如下”一般是放在在中心论点和下面的分论点之间,起到一个承上启下的作用。
| 订正
?In my opinion,?one?should strike a balance?
between his work and family. My reasons are?
listed as?follows. /The following three?points?
are listed to?support my?views.
04
4.?One?should keep a balance between leisure?
and work. Instead of being a workaholic.?(×)
| 错因
一个完整句子,首字母大写,末尾有句号,至少要有主语和谓语。
instead of being a workaholic,这只是一个介词短语,不能单独成句,因此是破碎句。
| 订正
Instead of being a workaholic,one?should?
keep a balance between leisure and work.
05
5.?Does the advantage of the Internet bigger
than its disadvantages??(×)
| 错因
用词不当,如果我们想表达“什么的利大于弊”,可以用outweigh这个词,原义指在重量上超过,后引申为比…重要;胜过,强过;比…有价值。如:The advantages of this deal largely/far?
outweigh the disadvantages.这笔交易的利远远大于弊。
| 订正
Do?the advantages of the Internet outweigh?its disadvantages?
06
6.?On the one hand, being confident?helps us to overcome difficulties.?On the other hand, it?
enables us to succeed.??(×)
| 错因
on the one hand…on the other hand虽然经常翻译成“一方面…另一方面”。
但是,on the other hand相当于however,用于转折,表示“但是”,这组短语用于陈述两个相反的观点,而不是两个并列的观点。
所以,这个词组的正确打开方式是:
On the one hand, 互联网有许多好处,为我们的生活带来了许多便利。On the other hand, 互联网也有坏处,让很多青少年沉迷于网络游戏和虚拟空间。
其实如果你知道了on the one hand…on the?
other hand用于陈述两个相反的观点的话,对于做阅读理解也是有帮助的。
| 订正
For one thing, being confident?helps us to?
overcome difficulties.?For another,?it enables us to?succeed.
注:for one thing…for another…可用于连接两个平行的观点或原因。
07
7.?Saving money is such a good habit that?
benefits to ourselves.?(×)
| 错因
benefit做及物动词,可以直接说A benefits B表示“A对B有好处”,不需要加to, 也可以表达成be
beneficial to,这里就需要用benefit的形容词形式
beneficial了。
| 订正
Saving money is such a good habit that it?
benefits ourselves.或者?Saving money is such a good habit that it is beneficial to ourselves.
08
7.?Many people now have an easy access to the Internet.?(×)
| 错因
access是不可数名词,不能在前面加an; access做动词同样是及物动词,不要写成access to sth(×),后面应该直接加宾语,如:Many people now
access ?the Internet easily.
| 订正
Many people now have??easy access to the?
Internet.
