英语常见错误B系列之二
英语课
begin
[误] The meeting 1 will begin from Monday.
[正] The meeting will begin on Monday.
[误] The film has begun for ten minutes.
[正] The film has been on for ten minutes.
[析] begin是瞬间动词,所以它的完成时态不能接表示一段时间的状语,如:The film has begun. 这句话是对的,即"电影已经开始"。但要讲已经开始10分钟了则要用has been on即"上演了10分钟"。
begin、start
begin与start两词后面加不定式或动名词都可以,且意思并无区别,但在表达习惯时接动名词的用法较多,如:How old wern you when you first started learning 2 English?但这两个词的进行时态中则多用不定式,如:I was 3 beginning 4 to get hungry. 但如果句子的主语是物而不是人,则多用不定式,如:The ice began to melt 5. It started to get dark 6 before we got 7 to school. 当动词是表达某种心理状态时,要用不定式,如:The student began to understand his mistakes 8.
[误] They study hard in the class from the beginning to the end.
[正] They study hard in the class from beginning to end.
[析] from beginning to end是习惯用法,即自始至终,不要加冠词,但如单独使用则要加冠词,例如:At the beginning,the teacher gave 9 us an exam 10.
behind
[误] He missed the class because he was behind the time.
[正] He missed the class because he was behind time.
[析] behind time一短语意为"晚了",而behind the times意为"落后于时代"。behind是介词同时又是副词,如Come out from behind the door(介词). He's a long way behind(副词). He fell 11 behind with his classmates(副词).
below 12
[误] What's that below the chair.
[正] What's that under the chair.
[析] under意为"正下方",而below意为"比……低",或指"在下游"。如:There is a fall below the river. (河的下游有一个瀑布。)其反义词为over,如:There is a big plane flying over the city. 但在"下面的例子"一表达语中则要用the example below, 而不要用under.
beside
[误] The students stood 13 besides 14 the teacher.
[正] The students stood beside the teacher.
[误] I study English beside Chinese.
[正] I study English besides Chinese.
[析] beside意为"在……旁边",而besides是"除……以外(还如何)"。
beside、by、near
beside意为"在……旁",如:There is a tall tree beside the river. by多指"倚、靠"、"沿着"之意,如:She is standing 15 by the window. near多用来表示两地间距离不远,如:There is a post office near our school.
better
[误] You had 16 better to do it at home.
[正] You had better do it at home.
[误] You hadn't better wake 17 me up at six.
[正] You had better not wake me up at six.
[析] had better在肯定句中为"应该作某事",其后加不带to的不定式,而在否定句中应用had better+not+动词原形。在简答语中had常省略为'd,如:You'd better not. 又如:
Let's go first. No, we'd better not.
between
[误] Among 18 the two trees there is a space of the feet.
[正] Between the two trees there is a space of the feet.
[析] 两者之间多用between,三者或三者以上之间则用among.
[误] You must choose between this club 19 or that club.
[正] You must choose between this club and that club.
[析] 在两个之间作出选择要用between…and…,而不能用between…or….
