英语典型语法错误100例（9）

81. 我宁愿同他们一道去而不愿呆在家里。

误：I prefer going with them rather than stay home.

正：I prefer to go with them rather than stay home.

析：在两个选项之间作出选择，表示宁愿选其中的一项而不愿选另一项，或喜欢其中的一项而不喜欢另一项，有两个prefer句型可以选择：一是prefer A to B，其中的A和B均为名词或动名词；二是prefer to do sth rather than do sth。

82. 他在工作上取得了很大的进步。

误：He made a great progress with his work.

正：He made great progress with his work.

析：progress 用作名词，表示“进步”“前进”“进展”等，均为不可数名词，又如：His research made slow progress. 他的研究工作进展缓慢。

83. 你说的情况完全不可能。

误：What you say is very impossible.

正：What you say is quite impossible.

析：quite 有两个意思：一是表示程度，意为“相当”“还算”，用法与 fairly, very, rather 一样，只是程度或语气不同，此时主要修饰那些可以显示出程度的形容词或副词；二是表示极限(limit)，意为“完全地”“全然地”等，此时主要修饰那些没有程度差异的形容词或副词，如 impossible, empty, full, certain, sure, right, wrong, enough, ready, dead, alone, perfect, determined, extraordinary, exhausted, amazing, unique 等。注：very通常只用于表示程度，不用于表示极限。

84. 剩下的几个就给你了。

误：You may have the remained ones.

正：You may have the remaining ones.

析：由于 remain 是不及物动词，所以用于名词前作定语时，不能用过去分词，而应用现在分词(有的词书称之为形容词)，此时remaining＝剩下的，留下的(只用作定语，不用作表语)， 又如：The remaining students will serve as audience. 剩下的学生将充作听众。

85. 提醒他在离开时把窗子关上。

误：Remind him of closing the windows when he leaves.

正：Remind him to close the windows when he leaves.

析：remind sb to do sth=提醒某人去做某事(不定式所表示的动作尚未发生)；remind sb of doing sth=提醒某人做过某事(动名词所表示的动作已发生)。比较：He reminded me to see the film. 他提醒我要去看这电影。He reminded me of my seeing the film. 他提醒我说，我曾看过这部电影。(此句等于：He reminded me that I had seen the film.)

86. 他们劫富济贫。

误：They robbed the money from the rich to help the poor.

正：They robbed the rich to help the poor. (www.hxen.com)

析：rob(抢劫)作为及物动词，它的宾语总是被抢劫的人或地点，而不是被抢走的东西，其句型为：rob+被抢的人或地方+of+被抢的东西。又如：He robbed me of my wallet. 他抢了我的钱包。但不说：He robbed my wallet. 再如：She was robbed of her money. 她的钱被抢了。但不说：Her money was robbed.

87. 他不愿拿这么少的薪金来担任这个职务。

误：He would not accept this office for such a little salary.

正：He would not accept this office for such a low salary.

析：形容薪水的多少或高低，salary 通常用 large, small, high, low 等形容词来修饰，一般不用 much, little, few, many 等修饰，又如：She has a large [high] salary. 她薪水很高。注：对薪金提问时，可以用 how much，如：How much salary does the job pay? 这一工作薪水多少?

88. 他喜欢数学，他弟弟也一样。

误：He likes maths, and it is the same to his brother.

正：He likes maths, and it is the same with his brother.

析：要表示“与……一样”，英语要说the same as，不可用the same with，如：His car is the same as mine. 他的汽车与我的一样。但是，若要表示甲的情况同样也适合于乙时，英语却可用 it is the same with...，此结构与“so+特殊动词+主语”相似，如上句也可说成：...and so does his brother. 又如：He likes music but doesn’t like sports. It is the same with his brother. 他喜欢音乐，但不喜欢运动，他弟弟也是一样。注意此句中的 It is the same with his brother 不能改为 So does his brother，因为前面一句既包括肯定又包括否定)。

89. 凡10点钟以后仍在外面的人将被逮捕。

误：Anyone being outside after ten o’clock will be arrested.

正：Anyone who is outside after ten o’clock will be arrested.

析：当being为连系动词时，非谓语动词结构being…可用作主语、宾语、宾语补足语、状语等，但是不能用作定语。遇此情况，可考虑改用定语从句。

90. 我说两个小时的时候，其中包括了吃饭的时间。

误：When I say two hours, which includes the time for eating.

正：When I say two hours, that includes the time for eating.(http://ask.hxen.com/)

析：许多同学往往想当然地认为在逗号后面总是用 which 引导定语从句，而不用 that。其实，本句中的 that includes the time for eating 不是定语从句，而是主句(that 用作主句主语)，其前的 when I say two hours 为状语从句。
