中国人最易犯错的30句英语

sweetspot

1. I very like it
I like it very much.
: F+ a* n+ j. J- \4 i: e
6 D/ t1 l" [: X! d: p2. 这个价格对我挺合适的。

) h  j! S% C; [4 y; ?The price is very suitable for me.

3 w; d& v  A+ e7 JThe price is right.

Ｎｏｔｅ：suitable(合适的、相配的)最常见的用法是以否定的形式出现在告示或通知上，如：下列节目儿童不宜。The following
2 z( W$ J, M  a
4 }) l' S' ^6 pprogramme is not suitable for children在这组句子中用后面的说法会更合适。
" K" {9 W$ d/ x9 |+ K
/ I( X, ~0 d7 K9 c3 U1 q3. 你是做什么工作的呢？What’s your job?

Are you working at the moment?
+ R) a: A8 O1 _
+ d; @( }% A# p: S, |9 ~* IＮｏｔｅ：what’s your
) V/ Q3 O8 e/ u) U
job这种说法难道也有毛病吗？是的。因为如果您的谈话对象刚刚失业，如此直接的问法会让对方有失面子，所以您要问：目前您是在上班吗？Are you working
- }$ q# ^) k  l: N" u; U. [
7 L  J: \) J1 c5 fat the moment?接下来您才问：目前您在哪儿工作呢？Where are you working these days?或者您从事哪个行业呢？What
. I& C0 k  w! L8 l5 a' {7 `
line of work are you in?顺带说一下，回答这类问题时不妨说得具体一点，不要只是说经理或者秘书

4. 用英语怎么说？How to say?
2 C7 s+ T) k# P; H3 M  \
How do you say this in English?

Ｎｏｔｅ：How to say是在中国最为泛滥成灾的中国式英语之一，这决不是地道的英语说法。同样的句子有：请问这个词如何拼写？How do you

: G# A) Z9 A+ [  W4 y; ^spell that please?请问这个单词怎么读？How do you pronounce this word?
# I! L% O7 W7 i; `/ Q% h
* b8 V" H" _+ s5. 明天我有事情要做。I have something to do tomorrow?
+ o, r! W' m: ^% V' H
Sorry but I am tied up all day tomorrow.

8 t+ l- N' c! a" H( ^3 ]7 r用I have something to

do来表示您很忙，这也完全是中国式的说法。因为每时每刻我们都有事情要做，躺在那里睡大觉也是事情。所以您可以说我很忙，脱不开身：I’m tied
% S0 O: Y, u/ g
up.还有其他的说法：I’m I can’t make it at that time. I’d love to, but I can’t, I

have to stay at home.

: O2 V/ J, `# Y6. 我没有英文名。I haven’t English name.

9 h( S6 O2 E3 \" z5 V2 F' UI don’t have an English name.

Ｎｏｔｅ：许多人讲英语犯这样的错误，从语法角度来分析，可能是语法功底欠缺，因为have在这里是实义动词，而并不是在现在完成时里面那个没有意义的助动词。所以，这句话由肯定句变成否定句要加助动词。

0 M5 B4 d. R2 N/ m明白道理是一回事，习惯是另一回事，请您再说几话：我没有钱；I don’t have any money.我没有兄弟姐妹；I don’t have any

brothers or sisters.我没有车。I don’t have a car.
7 Z2 B2 R8 d* q+ G
7. 我想我不行。I think I can’t.
. x+ B# N1 y. ~( |& {. e
I don’t think I can.
: d0 a, f% m- a) t. `
# [  U5 U( A( p* ^. zＮｏｔｅ：这一组然是个习惯问题，在语法上称为否定前置，这就是汉语里面说“我想我不会”的时候，英语里面总是说“我不认为我会”。以后您在说类似的英语句子的时候，只要您留心，也会习惯英语的说法的，
9 q0 B4 J2 R% d8 I. Z9 y5 Q
8. 我的舞也跳得不好。I don’t dance well too.

I am not a very good dancer either.

0 G- R0 H3 t7 iＮｏｔｅ：当我们说不擅长做什么事情的时候，英语里面通常用not good at something，英语的思维甚至直接踊跃到：我不是一个好的舞者。

' M* c! }  P/ \  Q& _9. 现在几点钟了？What time is it now?

! _( _5 E( L8 x, d# Z4 {What time is it, please?

Ｎｏｔｅ：What time is it now这是一个直接从汉语翻译过的句子，讲英语的时候没有必要说now,因为您不可能问what time was it

: ?1 ^: s; q; p. `9 jyesterday, 或者what time is it tommorow?所以符合英语习惯的说法是：请问现在几点了？还有一种说法是：How are we
+ C5 J1 ]: M/ {
% N* t  O' ~) \2 E5 N9 ]+ k: Ydoing for time?这句话在有时间限制的时候特别合适
! Y# [: E# T  U& e: J' H
10. 我的英语很糟糕。My English is poor.
, `/ {% X" a) g% @6 B
I am not 100% fluent, but at least I am improving.
6 ~1 a* n: n9 w# `7 ~' i
  m: j1 T  M# {Ｎｏｔｅ：有人开玩笑说，全中国人最擅长的一句英文是：My English is poor.实话说，我从来没有遇到一个美国人对我说：My Chinese is

poor. 无论他们的汉语是好是坏，他们会说: I am still having a few problem, but I getting better.
2 M1 i4 o6 x2 e8 \" M3 L
当您告诉外国人，您的英语很poor，so what(那又怎么样呢)，是要让别人当场施舍给我们一些英语呢，还是说我的英语不好，咱们不谈了吧。

另外一个更大的弊端是，一边不停的学英语，一边不停地说自己的英语很poor,这正像有个人一边给车胎充气，又一边在车胎上扎孔放气。
; D! n$ @$ \; H  }# Y0 z7 A
- d! z+ Z( V( z8 z; E9 E2 G我坚信，先不谈别的，如果您现在就苦下功夫，把这本薄薄的《英语５４３２１》吃通吃透，您的英语水平立即就会迅速的提高。所以您再也不用说：我的英语很poor.
1 e. K' M/ g( n. z
  `- M9 [7 F- R3 ?2 P* }, w/ D您可以实事求事地说，我的英语还不算十分流利，但至少我在进步。

11. 你愿意参加我们的晚会吗？Would you like to join our party on Friday?

5 f& f  D3 \& |& cWould you like to come to our party on Friday night?
' m% T2 L' W% Z& ^6 k% i; W( o
Ｎｏｔｅ：join往往是指参加俱乐部或者协会，如：join a health club; join the Communist

Party.事实上，常常与party搭配的动词的come 或者go。如go a wild party，或者come to a Christmas Party。
: I9 A$ l7 d; [; p4 x  S
4 S' l' H9 y* u12. 我没有经验。I have no experience.
  z7 J2 _% A0 {4 F- U1 x
# ]6 ]: n: A% u; `7 i, BI am I don’t know much about that.

( W1 _! Z/ Y$ ~( nＮｏｔｅ：I have no experience这句话听起来古里古怪，因为您只需要说：那方面我懂得不多，或者这方面我不在行，就行了。I am not

really an expert in this area.

13. 我没有男朋友。I have no boyfriend.

; ?1 d- J) G2 b/ D) c
Will you be going back home for the Spring Festival?

是的，我回去。Of course! （这一句是错的）
" k. c9 i1 T& f% o% K
当然。Sure. / Certainly.（这种说法是正确的）

以英语为母语的人使用of course的频率要比中国的学生低得多，只有在回答一些众所周知的问题时才说of course。因为of

3 W: a6 h- p' @* wcourse后面隐含的一句话是“当然我知道啦！难道我是一个傻瓜吗？”因此，of

$ }3 Z7 G- a; Z( A- t% z& @course带有挑衅的意味。在交谈时，用sure或certainly效果会好得多。同时，of course

not也具挑衅的意味。正常情况下语气温和的说法是certainly not.
