五、结构误配型。
有的同学在写作时,常常把一些固定词组、习惯用语和固定句型错误搭配,结果写出来的句子让人看不懂。
1. 你愿意帮我忙吗?
误:will you give me a f**or?
正:will you do me a f**or?
析:“帮某人一个忙”、“给某人恩惠”应是do sb. a f**or.
2. 在回家的路上,史密斯夫人的钱包被抢了。
误:mrs. smith’s wallet was robbed from her on her way home.
正:mrs. smith’s wallet was stolen from her on her way home.
正:mrs. smith’s wallet was robbed of her on her way home.
析:“抢某人某物”译为steal +某物+from+某人或场所,或rob+人或场所+of +某物。
3. 你认为工程师的演讲怎么样?
误:how do you think of the speech made by the engineer?
正:what do you think of the speech made by the engineer?
析:本句的错误在于有同学对what …think of的结构概念模糊加上母语的干扰而造成的。what在这一结构中作think的宾语。
what do you think of…还可以说how do you like…? how在句子中是疑问副词,作状语。
4. 这个问题很难懂。
误:the question is hard to be understood.
正:the question is hard to understand.
析:在“主语+be+形容词+不定式”的句式结构中,主语是不定式的逻辑宾语,不定式用主动形式表示被动意义。又如:
the man is hard to work with.其中,与不定式习惯搭配或根据表达需要的介词不能省略。
5. 她有如此好的一位父亲,以至于我们都很羡慕她。
误:she has a so good father that we all admire her.
正:she has so good a father that we all admire her.
正:she has such a good father that we all admire her.
析:so是副词,用来修饰形容词或副词,常用于so+ adj. /adv.
+ that…句型中,表示“如此…以致于”。在单数可数名词前可用so+ adj.+ a+名词+that…句型,相当于such +a +adj.
+单数名词+ that结构。
6. 他可不是那种先想到自己后想到别人的人。
误:it’s not like him of thinking of himself before thinking of others.
正:it’s not like him to think of himself before thinking of others.
析:表示“某人(恰恰)就是…这个样子”,用it’s (just) like sb. to do sth.说明赞成或不满。若用否定式则表示怀疑。
