(二) 正誤辨析

[誤]Tom's mother is taller than my.

[正]Tom's mother is taller than mine.

[析]形容詞性物主代詞可以作定語，也就是講它可以作形容詞，如：my book,而這句話的意思是：湯姆的媽媽比我的媽媽高。比較的對象是my mother,也就是mine.

[誤]We have a lot of homework to do today. So we need two or three hours to finish them.

[正]We have a lot of homework to do today. So we need two or three hours to finish it.

[析]在應用代詞時，要注意人稱，格與數(shù)的一致性。這里it所代替的是不可數(shù)名詞homework, 所以應用it.

[誤]He and you should go to the library to return the books.

[正]You and he should go to the library to return the books.

[析]這主要是英語習慣上的用法。當兩個以上的人稱代詞并列時其排列順序一般為you, he, she, I,而復數(shù)時為we, you, they:如男女并列時，應先男后女，如：He and she …如果在表示不好意思，承擔責任時，單數(shù)時用，I, he, she, you, 復數(shù)時用They, you, we, 如：Tom and I are good friends.

You, he and I must go to play the game for our team this afternoon.

We, you and they have been there before.

I, he and you have to pay for it.

[誤]He or his brother is doing their homework.

[正]He or his brother is doing his homework.

[析]由either…or, neither…nor, or 連接兩個主語時，如果兩主語是單數(shù)時，用單數(shù)代詞，如兩主語是復數(shù)時，用復數(shù)代詞，如：Either teachers or students want to do their best to help the old man.如是一單一復兩名詞時，一般將單數(shù)名詞放在前，復數(shù)名詞放在后，要用復數(shù)代詞，如：The teacher or his students will clean their classroom together.

[誤]His brother is taller than him.

[正]His brother is taller than he.

[析]than是連詞，其后應視為省略句，than he is.所以要注意區(qū)分其主格與賓格的用法。

I like you as much as she.

[正]I like you as much as her.

[析]as…as 其后也應看作是省略句。應為as I like her.所以應用賓格。而第一句應譯為我像她那樣喜歡你。兩句語法都是對的但含義不同。

[誤]Myself did it yesterday.

[正]I myself did it yesterday.

[正]I did it myself yesterday.

[析]反身代詞不可作主語，但可以用作主語的同位語。

[誤]Take care of ourselves.

[正]Take care of yourselves .(yourself)

[析]祈始句的主語應看作第二人稱you.

[誤]Please bring your daughter with yourself.

[正]Please bring your daughter with you.

[析]反身代詞不能作介詞賓語，除非是由不及物動詞與介詞組成的動詞短語，如： The old woman spoke to herself.

[誤]Make yourself home.

[正]Make yourself at home.

[析]這是英語中的習慣用法，意為"像在家里一樣".這樣的用法還有：

enjoy oneself 玩得開心make yourself at home 像在家中一樣

help yourself to something 自己拿某物lost oneself 迷路

seat oneself 就坐dress oneself 穿衣

[誤]- Who's this speaking.- That's Mary.

[正]- Who's that speaking.- This is Mary.

[析]在電話用語中，this指講話人自己，而that指對方。

[誤]The days in summer are longer than this in winter.

[正]The days in summer are longer than those in winter.

[析]在比較句中往往為了避免重復，可以用that或those取代前面提到的事物，如是單數(shù)時用that,復數(shù)時用those,如：The weather in Beijing is hotter than that in Chang Chun.

[誤]It is so a good book that everyone likes to read.

[正]It is such a good book that everyone likes to read.

[正]It is so good a book that everyone likes to read.

[析]在可數(shù)名詞單數(shù)時可用so+形容詞+不定冠詞+名詞+that從句，也可用such+不定冠詞+形容詞+that從句。在不可數(shù)名詞或可數(shù)名詞復數(shù) 時，只用such, 如：It is such good weather that I want to go swimming. They are such good books that I want to buy them all.在many, much, few, little這4個詞前僅能用so,如： She has so much money that she can buy everything she wants.而在so與that之間僅存形容詞時，則不能用such,如：She is so sweet that everyone likes her.

[誤]I want to buy a same dictionary as yours.

[正]I want to buy the same dictionary as yours.

[析]same與定冠詞the是固定搭配不可更改。這樣的用法還有all the same(仍然)。

[誤]- I hope she might pass the exam.- I don't hope so.

[正]- I hope she might pass the exam.- I hope not.

[析]在作肯定回答時，I think so. I hope so. I believe so.但作否定回答時為：I don't think so. I hope/believe not.

[誤]- He studied very hard this term.- So she did.

[正]- He studied very hard this term.- So did she.

[誤]- English is difficult to learn.- So is it.

[正]- English is difficult to learn.- So it is.

[析]在對話中如果某一動作同時適用于兩個主語，這時在答語中要用縮寫且要用倒裝句。如第一組句，即studied hard既適用于he,也適用于she.但答語僅僅是對前句的重復，即僅僅是第一句的縮寫時則不要用倒裝句。如第二組句子為：英語難學。答語為：是的，難 學。這時縮寫的答語不要用倒裝句。

[誤]Everyone should do one's best.

[正]Everyone should do his best.

[析]one作代詞時，它的復數(shù)形式是ones,所有格形式是one's,反身代詞為oneself.如果講One should do one's best.則是對句。如果one與別的詞組成其他詞，如： someone, anyone, everyone或only one 則要用his/her,來作其所有格形式。

[誤]- Who won the game?- None.

[正]- Who won the game?- No one.

[析]由who提問的句子的否定回答中的簡略說法是no one,而由How many提問的句子的否定回答中的簡略語是None.如：How many books are there? None.

[誤]There are many trees on either sides of the street.

[正]There are many trees on either side of the street.
