连词正误辨析
[误] Both my parents are not here. They went to the concert just now.
[正] Neither of my parents is here. They went to the concert just now.
[析] 在英语中both一般用于肯定句中,如用于否定句中,其意义也不同于汉语,如:Both of us are not right. 在英语中应被理解为"我们俩不都对。"而Neither of us is right。 才能被理解为"我们俩无一正确"。
[误] He or his parents has some tickets for the film.
[正] He or his parents have some tickets for the film.
[析] 由or 连接两主语时,谓语动词应与相临近的那一个主语保持一致。
[误] You should study hard, and you won't pass the exam.
[正] You should study hard, or you won't pass the exam.
[析] or作为连词,这里的意思为"否则"。又如:Hurry up, or you'll be late for school.
[误] Though he is poor, but he is ready to help others.
[正] Though he is poor, he is ready to help others.
[正] He is poor, but he is ready to help others.
[析] "虽然……但是"是中文中的常用结构,但在英文中用了"虽然"则不要用"但是",用了"但是"则不能再用"虽然",二者只可用其一。
[误] Either you or I are on duty.
[正] Either you or I am on duty.
[析] either…or 连接两个主语时,其谓语动词与相临近的一个主语相呼应,这也叫作就近原则。类似的用法还有or, neither… nor, not only…but also等。
[误] Tom is our English teacher and teaching English in our school now.
[正] Tom is our English teacher and is teaching English in our school now.
[析] 并列句中常常在后面的句子中作一些省略,以免重复,但不是所有词都可作任意的省略的。当你连接的是两个系动词时,后面的那个系动词不可省略,也就是讲连接的部分不可省略。
[误] My father likes swimming and to collect stamps.
[正] My father likes swimming and collecting stamps.
[析] 由并列连词连接的两个部分要保持相等的语法结构。如是动名词则都用动名词,如用不定式则都应用不定式,这是初学者要注意的一点。
[误] My father is reading a newspaper, I am doing my homework.
[正] My father is reading a newspaper while I am doing my homework.
[析] 两个并列句中间不可用逗号连接,要用并列连词来连接。
[误] My father asked me that if I wanted to learn how to drive.
[正] My father asked me if I wanted to learn how to drive.
[析] 宾语从句的连接词只能有一个不能重复使用。
[误] We will go both to Beijing and Shanghai.
[正] We will go to both Beijing and Shanghai.
[析] 用both…and…作连接词时,其相连接的部分结构也要相同。
[误] Not only Mary but also her brothers is going to dance.
[正] Not only Mary but also her brothers are going to dance.
[析] 由not only… but also…连接两个主语时,其重点在其后面的那一个主语,所以谓语形式应采用就近原则。
[误] The teacher as well as his students are coming.
[正] The teacher as well as his students is coming.
[析] 由as well as 连接两个主语时,谓语动词与as well as 后面的名词无关,而与前面的名词相一致。
[误] Tom does not swim nor play football.
[正] Tom does not swim or play football.
[析] nor主要用于连接句子的对等连词,如在否定句中连接某一部分时要用or, 但要注意句子的含意,如:This animal does not like a cow or a horse. 这个动物既不像牛也不像马。This animal does not like a cow but a horse. 这个动物不像牛而像马。
[误] For there is no light in the classroom. The students must have gone home.
[正] The students must have gone home, for there is no light in the classroom.
[析] 由for引出的原因状语从句在使用时要注意不能将该从句置于句 首,而应置于主句之后,并在主句与从句之间加一逗号。更要注意的是because, as, since与for 4个表示原因的连词中because是因果关系,是最强的一个,而for是最弱的一个。
[误] While I heard the bad news I felt sad.
[正] When I heard the bad news, I felt sad.
[析] while不能表达一点儿的时间,即瞬时某一时间点。
[误] After school some students play football, or others go to the library.
[正] After school some students play football, while others go to the library.
[析] while在此处意为"而,然而"。
[误] She sang when she walked along the dark street.
[正] She sang as she walked along the dark street.
[析] as用于句中时,其要点是强调两个动作的同时进行。这里用when虽然不能讲是语法上的错误,但则看不出来小女孩因独自走黑暗的街道因害怕而唱歌的心情。
[误] I finished my homework until twelve o'clock last night.
[正] I didn't finished my homework until twelve o'clock last night.
[正] I did my homework until twelve o'clock last night.
[析] until用在句中时其含义是某一动作一直持续到某时结束,那么句中的动词则一定要用持续性动词,如果要用瞬间,或截止性动词时一定要用否定句式。因截止性动作的否定式应看作是持续性的动作。如离开leave是瞬间动作,因一出门即为离开了,而不离开则是长时间的。
[误] I have studied English when I was twelve.
[正] I have studied English since I was twelve.
[析] since引出的时间状语从句是表达了一个时间点,而这个时间点是主句动作的启始点,所以主句一般要用完成时态。
[误] Because he didn't study hard, so he didn't pass the exam.
[正] He didn't pass the exam because he didn't study hard.
[析] because 与 so在英文中两者不能并用的,只能在句中用其一。
[误] He was such excited that he could not speak.
[正] He was so excited that he could not speak.
[析] so与such的用法可以分为四种情况,①用于单数可数名词之前,其格式是such+不定冠词+形容词+单数可数名词,如:It is such a beautiful book that every child likes it. 也可以用so, 其格式是so+形容词+不定冠词+单数可数名词,如:It was so beautiful a book that every child likes it. ②在不可数名词前或可数名词复数前这时只能用such, 如:It is such good weather that we want to swim. 又如:They are such good students that they can pass the exam easily. ③在few, little, much, many 这4个字前只能用so而不能用such, 如:I have so much money that I can buy everything I want. ④当that前只有形容词或副词时,这时只能用so, 如:She is so beautiful that every one likes her. He ran so fast that I couldn't keep up with him.
[误] He got up earlier this morning so as to that he could catch the first bus.
[正] He got up earlier this morning so as to catch the first bus.
[正] He got up so earlier that he could catch the first bus.
[析] so…that与so that的用法有相同之处,那就是其后接从句,而so as to 其后要接不定式,即动词原形。这样的词组还有:in order to。
[误] I want to buy same stamp that you have.
[正] I want to buy the same stamp as you have.
[析] the same…as (that)这是个固定用法,在same前的定冠词是不能少的。而the same…that意为"我要的就是那一个"。而the same…as为"要的是和……一样的东西"。
[误] Before I do not give you the answer, I'll ask you some questions.
[正] Before I give you the answer, I'll ask you some questions.
[析] 这种错误是由于受中文的影响。在中文中可以讲"我没给你答案前"。而英文用了before就不要再用否定句了。
