   下面是10个托福考试中常见的中式英语的错误。宝宝们,看完可千万别模仿啊!


  1. 这个价格对我挺合适的。
  The price is very suitable for me.
  The price is right.
  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. 上面在这组句子中用后面的说法会更合适。
  2. 你是做什么工作的呢?
  What’s your job?
  What’s your occupation?
  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? 最地道的是说Occupation. 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。
  3. 用英语怎么说?
  How to say?
  How do you say this in English?
  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 spell that please? 请问这个单词怎么读?How do you pronounce this word?
  4. 明天我有事情要做。
  I have something to do tomorrow?
  Sorry but I am tied up all day tomorrow.
  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 can’t make it at that time. I’d love to, but I can’t, I have to stay at home.
  5. 我没有英文名。
  I haven’t English name.
  I don’t have an English name.
  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。
  6. 我想我不行。
  I think I can’t.
  I don’t think I can.
  这一组显然是个习惯问题,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”。
  7. 我的舞也跳得不好。
  I don’t dance well too.
  I am not a very good dancer either.
  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。
  8. 我的英语很糟糕。
  My English is poor.
  I am not 100% fluent, but at least I am improving.
  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 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。
  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。
  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。
  9. 你愿意参加我们的晚会吗?
  Would you like to join our party on Friday?
  Would you like to come to our party on Friday night?
  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.
  10. 我没有经验。
  I have no experience.
  I don’t know much about that.
