1.this is the last thing i would ever want to do.
这是我最不愿做的一件事情。
析】“the last +to do;the last +定语从句”中的last的意思为“least willing/likely”,译为“最不愿意;最不可能”。
he’s the last man i want to see.他是我最不想见的人。
he is the last person to tell a lie.他是最不可能撒谎的人。
she’s the last woman i want to sit next to at dinner.她是我在宴会上最不愿与之挨着坐的女人。
2.one can’t be too honest.
人越老实越好。
析】句中“cannot...too...意为“无论怎样……也不过分”或“越……越好”。该句型中的not可以换成 hardly,never或scarcely;too可以换成 over或enough等,意思不变。
you cannot be too careful.you cannot be over careful.=you cannot be careful enough.你越仔细越好。
a man can never h**e too many friends.朋友越多越好。
3.it’s a wise man that never makes mistakes.
无论多么聪明的人,也难免犯错误。
析】“it is a +形容词+名词+that...结构是一个特殊的习惯用法,意思是“无论怎样的……也不……”真正的句子意思与字面意思相反,它具有含蓄的让步意味,切不可望文生义、译成强调句型。
it’s a long lane that has no turning.无论怎样长的巷子也有转弯处。(引申意义为:耐心等待终会时来运转。)
it’s a good horse that never stumbles.再好的马也有失前蹄的时候。(引申意义为:金无足赤,人无完人。)
4i’m too anxious to know the result.
我极想知道结果。
析】英语中“too...to...结构表示“太……以致不”的意思。例如:the star is too small to see.但是,如果too后形容词表示主语的状态、心理活动、情感态度(常见的有glad,easy,ready,anxious,eager, willing,happy等),并与其后的不定式构成固定搭配,这时too含有肯定意义,表示“very,extremely”的意思。
they are too anxious to le**e.他们急于离去。
mr.smith was too eager to see her.史密斯先生极想见到她。
5.it’s three years since he was a teacher.
他不当教师已经三年了。
析】在“it is some time since +主语+谓语+其它成分。”这一结构中,如果从句谓语动词是非延续性动词,那么时间的计算就从该动作的发生开始算起。
it‘s three years since he joined the army.他参军已经三年了。
如果从句谓语动词是延续性动词,时间就要从该动作的结束算起。
it’s many years since they lived here.他们不在这儿住已经好多年了。
6.all that glitters is not gold.
闪光的东西不一定都是金子。
析】在句中当不定代词all,both,every及 every的复合词,副词always,often,entirely与 not一起使用时,表示部分否定,意思是“并非都是”,“不是每个人都”等。
i don’t remember all these formulas.这些公式我并非全都记得。
every man cannot do it.并非每个人都能做这个。
i don’t entirely agree with you.我并不完全同意你的看法。
注意:当all,both,every等词和带im-,in-,un-,dis-等表示否定意义的前缀的词连用时,表示全部否定的意义。
all your answers are incorrect.你所有的答案都不正确。
表示全部否定时,我们常使用no,not,nobody,nothing,never,nowhere,neither等词。
none of the teachers smoke.这些老师都不抽烟。
7.the mountain is not valuable because it is high.
山并不因为高而具有价值。(山不在高)
析】含有原因状语从句的主从复合句,形式上虽然否定主句的谓语,然而意义上则是否定该原因状语,译为“并不因为……而……”
you cannot walk away just because someone tells you he doesn’t want to buy.你不能仅仅因为他告诉你不买就走开。
galileo was not ready to accept it just because aristotle had said so.伽利略并不只是因为亚里斯多德说过某事如何如何,就轻易相信它。
8.i didn’t pretend to understand what he said.
我假装没懂他说的话。
析】常用动词pretend,happen的否定形式有两种:既可以否定pretend,也可以否定其后的不定式,其意义不变。
i didn’t happen to be there.=i happened not to be there.我恰巧不在那儿。
they didn’t pretend to see me when i went by.=they pretended not to see me when i went by.当我经过的时候,他们假装没有看见我。
9let’s h**e a rest under the big tree.it’s nice and cool here.
让我们在大树下歇会吧。这儿很凉快。
析】nice and,good and都表示“很,非常,完全”的意思。and前的形容词实质上起副词作用,修饰后边的形容词,表示强调。
i am good and ready.我都准备好了。
it is good and cold in the morning.早上非常冷。
10. the doctor did what he could to s**e the patient.
析】did what he could 中省略了do,其后的不定式作状语,表示目的。该句等于the doctor did all he could to s**e the patient.
he has done all he could to help us. 他已尽力帮助我们了。

英语作文易错的语法
汉语的动词不受主语的人称和数的影响,但英语的谓语动词要和主语保持一致,谓语动词要随着主语而变化。而学生主要用汉语思维,因此他们往往没有习惯去考虑主语是第几人称,是单数还是复数。例如 b.he go to school by bike every day.a句中a number of 复数名词做主语时...
