使用avoid的两类错点

错点一  表示“避免”“回避”“躲避”，本身为及物动词，后接宾语不要想当然误加介词，如：

我想她是在躲着我。

正：I think she is avoiding me.

误：I think she is avoiding from me.

又如：

Always avoid such a girl. 对这样的女孩子要避而远之。

I was poor, but I avoided debt. 我穷是穷，但还不至于借债。

He tried to avoid the bump in the road. 他试图避开路面上隆起的地方。

Even if you avoid the problems, they still exist. 即使你避开这些问题，它们依然存在。

To avoid confusion, the teams wore different clothes. 为了避免混淆，各队穿了不同颜色的衣服。

错点二  后接动词时要用动名词，不能用不定式。如：

You should avoid mentioning his divorce. 你要避免提及他离婚的事。

He dyed his beard to avoid being recognized. 他染了胡子，以免我们认出他。

She avoids walking on dark streets at night. 她避免夜间在黑暗的街道上走路。

Her illness is merely a device to avoid seeing him. 他所谓生病只不过是避免见他的花招而已。

有时动名词前可以有自己的逻辑主语。如：(www.hxen.com)
