  E

  ?

  each ?

  [误] Every of them has his habit.?

  [正] Each of them has his habit.?

  [析] each可以作形容词,但也可作代词,而every只能作形容词。?

  [误] The manager comes to America almost each month.?

  [正] The manager comes to America almost every month.?

  [析] each与every都作形容词讲时,都有"每个"之意,但有不同。each多指个体,而every则多指整体。如:We want every student to succeed. each不同来表达总体概念,所以不能与almost, nearly, likely等词连用。?

  [误] We each has a book.?

  [正] We each have a book.?

  [析] each 作同位语时,其数应与其同位的名词相同,而each作主语时则应取其单数形式。 ?

  each other one another ?

  each other与one another这两个词组的区别在很多语法书中强调each other是两者之间,而one another是多者之间,其实不然,如:All students must care for each other, must love and help each other. 事实上这两个词组是同义的,如果要讲有什么区别的话,当我们非常笼统地谈,而不特指什么人时,多用one another.?

  early ?

  [误] Could you come here more early??

  [正] Could you come here earlier??

  [析] 单音节和少数双音节副词的比较级和最高级要用?er和?est来作其结尾,如fast, soon, early, hard, long, near等。?

  earth ?

  [误] What on the earth do you mean??

  [正] What on earth do you mean??

  [析] on earth这一词组在句中为的是加强语气,其意为"究竟"、"到底"。而作为"地球"讲时则要加定冠词,如:How far is the earth from the moon. 而作为"泥土"讲时则为不可数名词,如:He filled the pot with earth and wanted to plant some flowers.?

  easy ?

  [误] You can easy imagine my surprise.?

  [正] You can easily imagine my surprise.?

  [析] easy只在有限的词组中被用作副词,如take it easy (不要紧张),go easy, stand easy等。 例如:Easy come, easy go. (钱来的容易花的也快. )Easier said than done. (说的容易做着难。) ?

  east ?

  [误] Japan is on the east of China.?

  [正] Japan is to the east of China.?

  [析] 在讲述地理位置时,有3个介词常用,它们是in, on和to, 其中in表示处于所表达的范围之内,如:Shanghai is in the east of China. on则表示双方接壤,如:North Korea is on the northeast of China. 而表示互不相接的两部分时则用to, 如:Taiwan is to the east of Fujian.?

  either ?

  [误] -I don't like opera.

  ?-I don't like too. ?

  [正] -I don't like opera.

  ?-I don't like either. ?

  [析] 在否定句中用either表示"也",而在肯定句中用too表示"也"。?

  [误] Either you or I are right.?

  [正] Either you or I am right.?

  [析] 这在语法书中被称作就近原则,即哪个主语离谓语动词近,则应采用与哪个主语相一致的谓语动词,相同用法的还有neither…nor…,not only…but also…,以及or在连接两个主语时。如:You or he is to go home. The others will have to stay in the classroom.?

  elder ?

  [误] My older brother has gone to Shanghai.?

  [正] My elder brother has gone to Shanghai.?

  empty ?

  [误] Are these seats empty??

  [正] Are these seats taken??

  [析] empty是指空洞的没有任何物体,如:The house was empty, 其意思是没有任何家具或屋内无人。但座位是否有人坐应用take.?

  [正] My sister studied the English language very well.?

  enjoy ?

  [误] I enjoy to play football.?

  [正] I enjoy playing football.?

  [析] enough可以作be动词的表语,但其主语应是代词,如:That's enough. It was ?enough.? 如果是名词时应换用上面的句型。?

  entrance ?

  [误] The entrance of the cinema is on your right.?

  [正] The entrance to the cinema is on your right.?

  [正] I walked home on a cold evening.?

  [析] in the evening这一词组如加上另外的修饰词则其介词应换为on.?

  everyone ?

  [误] Everyone of you goes to class.?

  [正] Every one of you goes to class.?

  [析] everyone其后不能接of结构。在否定句中如果要讲"每一个人都没有注意到它",就译作:Nobody noticed it. 要注意Every one of us is not right. 应译为"我们不都对。"而None of us are right. 才应译为"我们全错了。"?

  [正] The room is clean except for two desks.?

  [误] I come here every day except for Sunday.?

  [正] I come here every day except Sunday.?

  exercise ?

  [误] The students exercise spoken English in the morning.?

  [误] I'm sorry I have to go. Tom's family is waiting for me.?

  [正] I'm sorry I have to go. Tom's family are waiting for me.?

  far ?

  [误] My school is ten miles far from here.?

  [正] My school is ten miles away from here.?

  [析] far一般不与实际距离连用。?

  [误] "Did you walk far?"

  ?"Yes,I walked far." ?

  [正] "Did you walk far?"

  ?"Yes, I walked a long way." ?

  [析] 一般肯定句中不用far单独作状语,而用a long way.far组成的常用词组有:as far as. ①远至,一直到。如:He walked as far as the station. ②就……而言。如:As far as he was concerned these books were very good. ③只要。如:I can help you as far as I can.? so for到目前为止。例:He is very well so far.?

  farther further ?

  [正] A fast train runs fast.?

  [析] fast其形容词与副词形式相同。?

  [误] I try not to hurt her feeling.?

  [正] I try not to hurt her feelings.?

  fill full ?

  fill是动词,但有及物与不及物两种用法,当表示"充满"之意时是不及物动词,应用fill with,如:The little girl's eyes filled with tears. 而当表示"使……装满某物"时,是及物动词,如:He filled his pocket with books. 而be filled with应看作系表结构,如:The boy's mother was filled with anger. full是形容词,要用be full of这一词组,如:The boy was full of joy.?

  find ?

  [误] He has finded his lost bike.?

  [正] He has found his lost bike.?

  [析] find是不规则动词,其过去式和过去分词均是found。但found一词又意为"建立",它是规则动词,其过去式及过去分词均为founded.?

  [误] It is very difficult to look for a suitable job.?

  [正] It is very difficult to find a suitable job.?

  [析] look for为"寻找",而find是找到。寻找工作并不难,难的应是找到合适的工作。?

  finish ?

  [析] 英文中有些动词其后只能用动名词作宾语而不能用不定式作宾语,这样的动词在中考范围内有两个,即finish和enjoy。?

  fire ?

  [误] There's no smoke without a fire.?

  [正] There's no smoke without fire.?

  [析] 此句应译为中文"无风不起浪"。fire作为物质名词"火"讲时为不可数名词,而作为"炉火"、"火灾"讲则是可数名词,如:There was a fire in the next street last month. 如要讲"着火了"要用be on fire, 如:The factory was

  on fire.?

  [误] The man fired to us.?

  [正] The man fired at us.?

  [析] fire (on) at均指"向某目标开火",at用于较小目标,而on用于较大目标。?

  [误] Is this your firstly visit to Beijing??

  [正] Is this your first visit to Beijing??

  [析] 除了在强调第一、第二、第三等场合中有时还可见firstly一词外,这个词已不多见,而均被first取代。first还有"首先"、"首次"、"第一次"之意。

  ?

  follow ?

  [正] I received a letter which ran as follows.?

  [析] as follows是惯用法,其意为"如下",不论在任何场合均要用follows.?

  food ?

  [误] Too much sweet food, such as cakes, chocolates,pastry…may increase your weight.?

  [正] This food is good for us.?

  [析] 词组be good (bad) for 表示"对……有好(坏)处"。?

  [误] For I was feeling quite hungry, I wanted to have lunch.?

  [正] I wanted to have lunch, for I was feeling quite hungry.?

  [析] for作为"因为"讲时一般不要置于句首,而且口气也比because弱的多。?

  forget ?

  [误] I left my key.?

  [正] I left my key at home.?

  [正] I forgot my key.?

  [析] leave是"丢下"之意,所以一定要接地点状语,而forget是"忘记",所以不用接地点状语。?

  [误] I will not forget the rules.?

  [正] I will never forget the rules.?

  [误] Please don't forget posting my letter on your way home.?

  [正] Please don't forget to post my letter on your way home.?

  [析] 要注意forget to do something为"忘了去作某事",而forget doing something则应译为"对已经作过的事记不起来了"。如:He forget returning the book to the library. 应译为"他忘记已把书还给图书馆这件事了。"同样用法的词还有remember和regret.?

  free ?

  [误] You can speak free in front of my parents.?

  [正] You can speak freely in front of my parents.?

  [析] free作为副词时意为"免费"、"不必付款",如:You can eat free in my restaurant. 而freely则意为"自由地"、"无限制地"。?

I go to school with a friend. be friends with 则是"交朋友"之意,例如:I hope you will be friends with me. 而不应讲I hope you will be my friend. 交朋友还有一惯用法是make friends.?

  [误] Where do you come from??I come from the library. ?

  [正] Where do you come from??I come from England. ?

  [正] Where did you come from??I came from the library. ?

  [析] in front of是某物体外部的前面,而in the front of是在某物体内部的前面。如:The bus driver is seated in the front of the bus.?

  German ?

  [误] They are Germen.?

  [正] They are Germans.?

  [误] She comes from German.?

  [误] His parents were very glad for his success in business.?

  [正] His parents were very glad of his success in business.?

  [析] glass作为"眼镜"讲,应用复数形式,在英语中手套gloves 裤子pants,剪刀scissors均用复数形式。glass作"玻璃杯"讲时则可用单数形式或复数形式,如:I want two glasses of milk. 而作为物质名词"玻璃"讲则要用作不可数名词,如:The boy broke two panes of glass.?

  go ?

  [误] -Mary, could you come to my home now??-Yes, I'm going. ?

  [正] -Mary, could you come to my home now??

  -Yes, I'm coming. ?

  [析] go是指离开说话人所在地,而come指的是朝向说话人的方向:如:Come here!Can I come and help you?但在口语中也有一些例外,如表示要参加到某人或者某件活动时常用come, 如:We are going to have a party tonight. Would you like to come with us??

  gone been ?

  [正] You had better hurry.?

  [析] had better只用过去时had,不要误用成现在时have。?

  [误] You hadn't better worry.?

  [正] You had better not worry.?

  [析] had better后面加不带to的不定式,其否定式是"had better not+动词原形"。?

  half ?

  [误] I had driven about half mile.?

  [正] I had driven about half a mile.?

  [析] "半小时"有两种讲法half an hour, a half hour. 而"一个半小时"应讲an hour and a half或one and a half hours."半天"应讲half a day,"半镑"应讲half a pound.但要尽量避免使用half a year,而应用six months;不用half a month, 而用two weeks或fifteen days.?

  [误] Half us could go to the park.?

  [正] Half of us could go to the park.?

  [析] half用于名词前可用of结构也可不用of结构,但用于代词前则必须加of。如:More than half (of) my classmates are boys.?

  [误] One and half apples are left on the table.?

  [正] One and half apples is left on the table.?

  [析] 一个半one and half后面的名词要用复数,而句中的谓语动词却要用单数。?

  [误] Half of the work are done.?

  [正] Half of the work is done.?

  [误] Half of the six apples is red.?

  [正] Half of the six apples are red.?

  [析] "half of+名词"这一结构后面的谓语动词应与of后面的名词相一致,如为不可数名词或可数名词单数,要用单数谓语动词;而复数名词后面要加与复数相对应的谓语动词。?

  hand ?

  [误] He shook hand with his teacher.?

  [正] He shook hands with his teacher.?

  [析] 与某人握手要用shake hands. 与hand有关的词组中有很多要用复数形式,如:change hands (转手、易手),in the hands of (由……控制),join hands (与人合作)。?

  happen ?

  [误] What was happened to you last month??

  [正] What happened to you last month??

  [误] An accident was happened in this street last night.?

  [正] An accident happened in this street last night.?

  [析] 在英语中不及物动词没有被动态,作为"发生"讲的happen,take place和break out都不具有被动态。happen to常用来表达一件偶然发生的事,如:If you happen to meet my sister please ask her to call me.?

  hard ?

  [误] I have to study hardly.?

  [正] I have to study hard.?

  [析] hard是形容词,如:a hard work,但它同时也是副词。hardly是hard的又一副词形式,但词意截然不同,意为"几乎不"。?

  [误] I had my leg broken last term, so I couldn't hardly study at all.?

  [正] I had my leg broken last term so I hardly studied at all.?

  [析] hardly意为"否定",所以不要再加否定词语了,如果hardly用于句首则应采用倒装语序,如:Hardly had he arrived when she started complaining.?

  have ?

  [误] I had my boy do his homework from morning till noon.?

  [正] I had my boy doing his homework from morning till noon.?

  [析] 用have somebody do something还是doing something要取决句子的意思和句中的时间状语。?

  [误] I have my bike to repair.?

  [正] I have my bike repaired.?

  [析] have something done这一句型是让某事被别人去作,请看下面两句意义的不同:I have repaired my bike. (我自己已修好了自行车。)而I have my bike repaired.(我把车推出去让别人修理了。)?

  [误] Could you give me some money if you have.?

  [正] Could you give me some money if you have any.?

  [析] "如果你有的话"一句译为英文应加上any一词,如:I want some books if there is any.?

  headache ?

  [误] I've got headache.?

  [正] I've got a headache.?

  [析] Headache是一个规则的可数名词,所以可以讲:My mother often gets headaches. 但是"牙痛"toothache,"肚子痛"stomache?ache等却都可以用作不可数名词,如:I've got toothache. 但也可用作可数名词。?

  hear ?

  [误] He was heard sing in the next room.?

  [正] He was heard to sing in the next room.?

  [析] hear somebody do something这一句式用于被动语态时要把原来省略的不定式to还原回来。而在hear somebody doing something这一句式中则不会出现上述问题。如,主动态:I heard her singing in the next room. 变为被动态时为:She was heard singing in the next room. 这种用法还适用于see, look, observe, watch, notice, listen to等。?

  hear listen to ?

  hear一词为听见了什么,或听到什么,强调其结果;而listen to则强调有意要听,听的倾向。如:I want to listen to you, but I hear nothing.?

  但词组hear about (of)则为"听说过"之意,如:I heard about this. (我听说过此事。)而hear from则为"收到某人信件"之意:I often hear from my girl friend.?

  help ?

  [误] Please help my homework.?

  [正] Please help me do my homework.?

  [正] Please help me with my homework.?

  [析] help其句型是help somebody do (to do) something. 意为"帮某人作某事",但在较古老的语法中不带to的不定式表示句子的主语参加这个动作,如:He help his mother cook the meal. 即"他和母亲一起作饭。"而He help me to do my homework. 则是"他指导我做作业"。但在现代英语中这个区别则往往被取消了。所以带to与不带to的不定式在句中意思相同,并无区别。?

  [误] When I read the play I can't help to think of my childhood.?

  [正] When I read the play I can't help thinking of my childhood.?

  [析] can't help doing something是"身不由己,情不自禁做某事"。?

  [误] Help yourself with some cakes.?

  [正] Help yourself to some cakes.?

  [析] 中文中讲"你自己拿蛋糕吃",英文中要用help somebody to something.?

  here ?

  [误] Here the bus comes!?

  [正] Here comes the bus!?

  [析] 副词在句首时一般要用倒装语序,即谓语动词的位置前移。但是,若主语如是人称代词,则还是要用正常语序,如:Here we are!?

  high ?

  [误] He is very high.?

  [正] He is very tall.?

  [析] 英语中的两个"高"high和tall,其中tall指人指物都是可以的,但high则只指物体的高,所以可以讲This building is the highest building in the city.但tall一般不用来指山脉的高低。?

  hit ?

  [误] The mother got angry and hit the boy.?
