||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
广告招租，e-mail:yesize@hotmail.com 网友Camden2002今天上午给我发来一篇英文文章，作者是美国一所大学的英语讲师，内容则是美国大学生常犯的十大语法错误(top ten grammar problems)。Camden2002网友建议我把这篇文章翻译出来，让国内的英语学习者看看，美国大学生常犯的这些错误，我们自己是否也常犯。这个建议非常好，不过我最近比较忙，各位的时间也很宝贵，所以我只把这十大语法错误的大意翻译出来，供各位参考一下。另外请注意：在下面的十组例句中，第一句是病句，第二句则是改正过来的句子。 一、句子之间缺少过渡性的单词或词组 ① Salmons swim upstream, they leap over huge dams to reach their destination. ② Salmons swim upstream, and then they leap over huge dams to reach their destination. 二、省字号(’)的滥用 ① the government’s plan ② the plan of the government 三、代词之间的性、数、格不一致 ① Everyone has their homework. ② Everyone has his (or her) homework. 四、主句与从句的顺序不当 ① Some of the new dot-com millionaires found out the party was over, after the NASDAQ value dropped by over two thirds. ② After the NASDAQ value dropped by over two thirds, some of the new dot-com millionaires found out the party was over. 五、双重否定 ① Barely no one noticed that the pop star lip-synched during the whole performance. ② Barely anyone noticed that the pop star lip-synched during the whole performance. 六、修饰语、插入语的位置不当 ① The forest fire, no longer held in check by the exhausted firefighters, jumped the firebreak. ② No longer held in check by the exhausted firefighters, the forest fire jumped the firebreak. 七、意义含糊的先行词 ① The band members collected his and her uniforms. ② The band members collected their uniforms. 八、介词和冠词的滥用 ① The project of the government reduces the costs of production of the private firms. ② The government project reduces the production costs of private firms. 九、句子缺少成分 ① When aiming for the highest returns, and also thinking about the possible losses. ② When aiming for the highest returns, investors also should think about the possible losses. 十、忘记断句 ① I do not recall what kind of printer it was all I remember is that it could sort, staple, and print a packet at the same time. ② I do not recall what kind of printer it was. All I remember is that it could sort, staple, and print a packet at the same time. 作者：张宏(info@italian.org.cn)
