? 春天是我最喜欢的季节。 误:Spring is my most favourite season. 正:Spring is my favourite season. 析:favourite 用作形容词时，示“最喜欢的”，因本身已含有 “最”这样的 意思，因此它通常不与 most 连用，以免语义重复。 ? 玻璃摸起来是光滑的。 误:Glass is felt smooth. 误:Glass is feeling smooth. 误:Glass feels to be smooth. 正:Glass feels smooth. 析:feel用作连系动词，表示“摸起来”，要注意以下用法:一是要以被摸之 物作主语;二是句意虽有被动意味，但是不能用被动式;三是不用于进行时态; 四是其后不接 to be。注:feel用作连系动词，表示“感觉”时，可以用于进行进 态，如:How are you feeling now? 你现在感觉如何? ? 这次考试很难，没几个学生及格。 误:The exam is very difficult, and a few students passed. 正:The exam is very difficult, and few students passed. 析:few 表示数量很少或几乎没有，强调“少”，含有否定意味;而 a few 表示数量虽不多，但毕竟还有，强调“有”，含有肯定意味。比较:The exam is very difficult, but a few students passed. 这次考试很难，但还是有几个学生及 格。 ? 你会发现他这个人很难相处。 误:You will find difficult to get along with him. 正:You will find it difficult to get along with him. 析:误句主要是根据中文意思直译而错，其实 find 作为动词，其后不可能 接形容词作宾语。find 在此的正确结构是“find，形式宾语(it)，宾语补足语，真 正宾语”。 ? 他说完话后是一片沉默。 误:There was a deadly silence after she had finished to speak. 正:There was a deadly silence after she had finished speaking. 析:finish(完成)后接动词时，要用动名词，不能用不定式。 ? 有100多个消防队员参加救火。 误:The fire was saved by more than 100 firemen. 正:The fire was fought by more than 100 firemen. ”，其实是指跟火作斗争，把火扑灭，而绝不是 “挽救”火。析:汉语说“救火 注意不要受字面意思影响而直译。 ? 这是我第一次输了比赛。 误:It’s the first time that he lost a game. 正:It’s the first time that he has lost a game. 析:It is [will be] the first time 后的 that从句通常用现在完成时。若主句为 It was the first time...，则后面的从句通常用过去完成时(有时也用一般过去时)。
