你说对了吗？中国人最容易说错的30句英语
<p>1. I very like it<br/> I like it very much.</p><p>2. 这个价格对我挺合适的。<br/> The price is very suitable for me.<br/> The price is right.<br/> <br/> Ｎｏｔｅ：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：下列节目儿童不宜。The following programme is not suitable for children在这组句子中用后面的说法会更合适。<br/> <br/> 3. 你是做什么工作的呢？What’s your job?<br/> Are you working at the moment?<br/> Ｎｏｔｅ：what’s your job这种说法难道也有毛病吗？是的。因为如果您的谈话对象刚刚失业，如此直接的问法会让对方有失面子，所以您要问：目前您是在上班吗？Are you working at the moment?接下来您才问：目前您在哪儿工作呢？Where are you working these days?或者您从事哪个行业呢？What line of work are you in?顺带说一下，回答这类问题时不妨说得具体一点，不要只是说经理或者秘书<br/> <br/> 4. 用英语怎么说？How to say?<br/> How do you say this in English?<br/> Ｎｏｔｅ：How to say是在中国最为泛滥成灾的中国式英语之一，这决不是地道的英语说法。同样的句子有：请问这个词如何拼写？How do you<br/>spell that please?请问这个单词怎么读？How do you pronounce this word?<br/> <br/> 5. 明天我有事情要做。I have something to do tomorrow?<br/> Sorry but I am tied up all day tomorrow.<br/> 用I have something to do来表示您很忙，这也完全是中国式的说法。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。所以您可以说我很忙，脱不开身：I’m tied up.还有其他的说法：I’m I can’t make it at that time. I’d love to, but I can’t, I have to stay at home.<br/> <br/> 6. 我没有英文名。I haven’t English name.<br/> I don’t have an English name.<br/> Ｎｏｔｅ：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。<br/> 明白道理是一回事，习惯是另一回事，请您再说几话：我没有钱；I don’t have any money.我没有兄弟姐妹；I don’t have any brothers or sisters.我没有车。I don’t have a car.<br/> <br/> 7. 我想我不行。I think I can’t.<br/> I don’t think I can.<br/> Ｎｏｔｅ：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”。以后您在说类似的英语句子的时候，只要您留心，也会习惯英语的说法的，</p><p> 8. 我的舞也跳得不好。I don’t dance well too.<br/> I am not a very good dancer either.<br/> Ｎｏｔｅ：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，英语的思维甚至直接踊跃到：我不是一个好的舞者。<br/> <br/> 9. 现在几点钟了？What time is it now?<br/> What time is it, please?<br/> Ｎｏｔｅ：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,因为您不可能问what time was it<br/>yesterday, 或者what time is it tommorow?所以符合英语习惯的说法是：请问现在几点了？还有一种说法是：How are we doing for time?这句话在有时间限制的时候特别合适<br/> <br/> 10. 我的英语很糟糕。My English is poor.<br/> I am not 100% fluent, but at least I am improving.<br/> Ｎｏｔｅ：有人开玩笑说，全中国人最擅长的一句英文是：My English is poor.实话说，我从来没有遇到一个美国人对我说：My Chinese is<br/>poor. 无论他们的汉语是好是坏，他们会说: I am still having a few problem, but I getting better.<br/> 当您告诉外国人，您的英语很poor，so what(那又怎么样呢)，是要让别人当场施舍给我们一些英语呢，还是说我的英语不好，咱们不谈了吧。<br/> 另外一个更大的弊端是，一边不停的学英语，一边不停地说自己的英语很poor,这正像有个人一边给车胎充气，又一边在车胎上扎孔放气。<br/> 我坚信，先不谈别的，如果您现在就苦下功夫，把这本薄薄的《英语５４３２１》吃通吃透，您的英语水平立即就会迅速的提高。所以您再也不用说：我的英语很poor. 您可以实事求事地说，我的英语还不算十分流利，但至少我在进步。<br/> <br/> 11. 你愿意参加我们的晚会吗？Would you like to join our party on Friday?<br/> Would you like to come to our party on Friday night?<br/> Ｎｏｔｅ：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，常常与party搭配的动词的come 或者go。如go a wild party，或者come to a Christmas Party。<br/> <br/> 12. 我没有经验。I have no experience.<br/> I don’t know much about that.<br/> Ｎｏｔｅ：I have no experience这句话听起来古里古怪，因为您只需要说：那方面我懂得不多，或者这方面我不在行，就行了。I am not<br/>really an expert in this area.<br/> <br/> 13. 我没有男朋友。I have no boyfriend.<br/> I don’t have a boyfriend.<br/> <br/> 14. 他的身体很健康。His body is healthy.<br/> He is in good health. You can also say: He’s healthy.<br/> <br/> 15. 价钱很昂贵/便宜。The price is too expensive/cheap.<br/> The price is too high/ rather low.</p><p>16. 我们下了车。We got off the car.<br/> We got out of the car.<br/> <br/> 17. 车速快了。The speed of the car is fast.<br/> The car is speeding. Or “The car is going too fast.”<br/> <br/> 18. 这个春节你回家吗？<br/> Will you be going back home for the Spring Festival?<br/> 是的，我回去。Of course! （这一句是错的）<br/> 当然。Sure. / Certainly.（这种说法是正确的）<br/> 以英语为母语的人使用of course的频率要比中国的学生低得多，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！难道我是一个傻瓜吗？”因此，of course带有挑衅的意味。在交谈时，用sure或certainly效果会好得多。同时，of course not也具挑衅的意味。正常情况下语气温和的说法是certainly not.</p><p> 19. 我觉得右手很疼。I feel very painful in my right hand.<br/> My right hand is very painful. Or “ My right hand hurts(aches).”<br/> <br/> 20. 他看到她很惊讶。He looked at her and felt surprised.<br/> He looked at her in surprise.<br/> <br/> 21. 我读过你的小说但是没料到你这么年轻。I have read your novels but I didnt think you could be so young.<br/> After having read your novel, I expected that you would be older.<br/> <br/> 22. 她脸红了，让我看穿了她的心思。<br/> Her red face made me see through her mind.<br/> Correct: Her red face told me what she was thinking.<br/> <br/> 23. 看到这幅画让我想到了我的童年时代。<br/> The sight of these pictures made me remember my own childhood.<br/> Correct: Seeing these pictures reminded me of my own childhood.<br/> <br/> 24. 别理她。Dont pay attention to her.<br/> Leave her alone.<br/> <br/> 25. 我在大学里学到了许多知识。<br/> I get a lot of knowledge in the university.<br/> I learned a lot in university.<br/> <br/> 26. 黄山正在读书。<br/> Samuel is reading a book.<br/> Samuel is reading.<br/> <br/> 27. exciting / excited。<br/> <br/> 28. 我遇到了很多困难。<br/> I am having many difficulties.<br/> I am having a few problems / lots of problems.<br/> <br/> 29. 请快点走，否则我们会迟到的。<br/> Please hurry to walk or well be late.<br/> Please hurry up or well be late.<br/> <br/> 30. 她由嫉妒转向失望。<br/> She was so jealous that she became desperate.<br/> Jealousy drove her to despair.<br/></p>
