英语写作的常见错误

英语写作的常见错误

英语写作罕见错误剖析

一． 不分歧〔Disagreements〕 所谓不分歧不光指主谓不分歧，它还包括了数的不分歧 时态不分歧及代词不一 致等．

例１． When one have money ,he can do what he want to . (人一旦有了钱，他就能想干什么就干什么．)

剖析：one是双数第三人称，因此本句的have应改为has ;同理，want应改为wants.本句是典型的主谓不分歧．

改为： Once one has money ,he can do what he wants (to do)

二． 修饰语错位〔Misplaced Modifiers〕

英语与汉语不同，同一个修饰语置于句子不同的位置，句子的含义能够惹起变化．关于这一点中国先生往往没有惹起足够的注重，因此形成了不用要的曲解．例１． I believe I can do it well and I will better know the world outside the campus. 剖析：better位置不当，应置于句末．

三． 句子不完整〔Sentence Fragments〕 在口语中，交际双方可借助手势语气上下文等，不完整的句子完全可以被了解．可是口语就不同了，句子结构不完整会令意思表达不清，这种状况经常发作在主句写完以后，笔者又想加些补充说明时发作．

例１． There are many ways to know the society. For example by TV ,radio ,newspaper and so on .

剖析：本句后半局部＂for example by TV ,radio ,newspaper and so on .〞不是一个完整的句子，仅为一些不连接的词语，不能独立成句．

改为：There are many ways to know society ,for example ,by TV ,radio ,and newspaper.

四． 悬垂修饰语〔Dangling Modifiers〕

所谓悬垂修饰语是指句首的短语与前面句子的逻辑关系混乱不清．例如：At the age of ten, my grandfather died. 这句中＂at the age of ten＂只点出十岁时，但没有说明〞 谁〞十岁时．按普通推理不能够是my grandfather, 假设我们把这个悬垂修饰语改明白一点，全句就不那么隐晦了． 改为：

When I was ten, my grandfather died.

例１． To do well in college, good grades are essential.

剖析：句中不定式短语 〝to do well in college〞 的逻辑主语不清楚． 改为：

To do well in college, a student needs good grades.

五． 词性误用(Misuse of Parts of Speech)

〝词性误用〞常表现为：介词当动词用；描画词当副词用；名词当动词用等． 例１． None can negative the importance of money. 剖析：negative 系描画词，误作动词。 改为：

None can deny the importance of money.

六． 指代不清(Ambiguous Reference of Pronouns)

指代不清主要讲的是代词与被指代的人或物关系不清，或许先后所用的代词不分歧。试看下面这一句：

Mary was friendly to my sister because she wanted her to be her bridesmaid. (玛丽和我姐姐很要好，由于她要她做她的伴娘。)

读完下面这一句话，读者无法明白地判别两位姑娘中谁将结婚，谁将当伴娘。假设我们把易于惹起曲解的代词的所指对象加以明白，意思就了如指掌了。这个句子可改为：

Mary was friendly to my sister because she wanted my sister to be her bridesmaid. 例1. And we can also know the society by serving it yourself.

剖析：句中人称代词we 和反身代词yourself指代不分歧。改为： We can also know society by serving it ourselves.

七． 不连续句子(Run-on Sentences)

什么叫run-on sentence?请看下面的例句。

例１． There are many ways we get to know the outside world.

剖析：这个句子包括了两层完整的意思：〝There are many ways.〞 以及〝We get to know the outside world.〞。复杂地把它们连在一同就不妥当了。 改为：

There are many ways for us to learn about the outside world. 或：

There are many ways through which we can become acquainted with the outside world

八． 措词缺点(Troubles in Diction)

Diction 是指在特定的句子中如何适外地选用词语的效果，囿于教学时间紧迫，教员往常在这方面花的时间往往极端有限，影响了先生在写作中没有养成良好的琢磨，琢磨的习气。他们往往为所欲为，拿来就用。所以作文中用词不当的错误屈指可数。

例１． The increasing use of chemical obstacles in agriculture also makes pollution. (农业方面化学物质运用的不时添加也形成了污染。)

剖析：显然，考生把obstacles〝阻碍〞，〝阻碍物〞误作substance〝物质〞了。

另外〝the increasing use (不时添加的运用)〞 应改为〝abusive use (滥用)〞。 改为：

The abusive use of chemical substances in agriculture also causes/leads to pollution. 九． 担负(Redundancy)

言以繁复为贵。写句子没有一个多余的词；写段落没有一个无必要的句子。能用单词的不用词组；能用词组的不用从句或句子。如： In spite of the fact that he is lazy, I like him.

本句的〝the fact that he is lazy〞系同谓语从句，我们依照上述〝能用词组的不用从句〞可以改为：In spite of his laziness, I like him.

例１． For the people who are diligent and kind, money is just the thing to be used to buy the thing they need.

剖析：整个句子可以大大简化。

改为： Diligent, caring people use money only to buy what they need. 十． 不连接(Incoherence)

不连接是指一个句子前言不对后语，或是结构上不疏通。这也是考生常犯的缺点。 例１． The fresh water, it is the most important things of the earth. 剖析：The fresh water 与逗号后的it 不连接。It 与things 在数方面不分歧。 改为：

Fresh water is the most important thing in the world.

十一． 综合性言语错误(Comprehensive Misusage)

所谓〝综合性言语错误〞，是指除了上述十种错误以外，还有诸如时态，语态，标点符号，大小写等方面的错误。

例1．Today, Money to everybody is very importance, our’s eat, cloth, live, go etc.

Generation gap between parents and children Nowadays , there are more and more

misunderstanding between parents and children which is so- called generation gap . It is estimated that (75 percentages of parents often complain their children's unreasonable behavior while children usually think their parents too old fashioned). Why have there been

so much misunderstanding between parents and children? Maybe the reasons can be listed as follows .

The first one is that ( the two generations, having grown up at different times, have different likes and dislikes ,thus the disagreement often rises between them) . Besides,(due to having little in common to talk about , they are not willing to sit face to face ) . The third reason is (with the pace of modern life becoming faster and faster , both of them are so busy with their work or study that they don't spare enough time to exchange ideas ).

To sum up ,the main cause of XX is due to ( lake of communication and understanding each other) . It is high time that something were done upon it. On the one hand, (children should respect their parents ).On the other hand ,( parents also should show solicitue for their children). All these measures will certainly bridge the generation gap .

the significance for (controlling pollution ) noted that it's high time that more effective measures should be taken .

These days we often hear that (our living conditions are getting more and more serious because of the destruction of our environment ).It is common that (many trees and animals are near extinction, and the all-important food chain has been destroyed .).

Why does such circumstance occur in spite of social protects? For one thing ,(the population of the world is increasing so rapidly that the world has been so crowded. ).For another,(the overuse of natural resources has influenced the balance of natural ecology ). What is more , since ( the industrial revolution ) ,it is natural

that (a great number of factories have been springing up like mushrooms .The smoke and harmful chemicals released from factories also pollute the environment ).

To solve the problem is not easy at all ,but is worthying .We should do something such as (planting more trees , equipping cars with pollution-control devices and learning to recycling natural resources )to improve the present situation ,and i do believe everything will be better in the future .
