1.大家都想知道昨天夜里他發(fā)生了什么事,。
誤： Everyone wants to know what was happened about him last night.
正： Everyone wants to know what happened to him last night.
解析：其一，happen是不及物動詞,，沒有被動語態(tài)形式,；其二，表示“某人發(fā)生某事”,，用“happen to sb.”,。
2.湯姆寧可待在家里也不愿和我們一起去看電影。
誤： Tom preferred staying at home rather than going to the cinema with us.
正： Tom preferred to stay at home rather than go to the cinema with us
解析：prefer to... rather than...譯為“寧可……也不愿……”后接動詞原形,，而prefer... to...中的“to”是介詞,，這兩個詞后面都接名詞或動名詞,。如：
Tom preferrd staying at home to going to the cinema with us.
3.在我們班有五分之三的學(xué)生是女孩。
誤： In our class three fifth of the students are girls.
正： In our class three fifths of the students are girls.
解析：英語分?jǐn)?shù)的表達(dá)法是：分子用基數(shù)詞,，分母用序數(shù)詞,。當(dāng)分子大于一時，分母的序數(shù)詞后要加“s”,。如：三分之一 one third,，三分之二 two thirds。
4.經(jīng)常聽見露茜在隔壁唱歌,。
誤：Lucy is often heard sing in the next room.
正：Lucy is often heard to sing in the next room.
解析：see, hear, watch, feel等感官動詞和let, make, have等使役動詞后面接不定式作賓補(bǔ)時,，主動語態(tài)中要省略“to”，而被動語態(tài)里則不能省略,。又如：
The boy is often made to clean the classroom.
5.當(dāng)我們到火車站時,，火車已開走半小時了。
誤： When we got to the station, the train had left for half an hour.
正： When we got to the station, the train had been away for half an hour.
解析：在英語中,，短暫性動詞和延續(xù)性動詞可以用于完成時,，但不能與表一段時間的狀語連用。若后面需接一段時間,，就要把該動詞變成相應(yīng)的延續(xù)性動詞或短語,。如：begin — be on, borrow — keep, buy — have, join — be in（be a...）, leave — be away, come — be  stay, die — be dead, get to know — know。
6.不要緊,，你只是有點(diǎn)感冒,。
誤：Never mind, you’ve just caught a bit cold.
正：Never mind, you’ve just caught a bit of cold.
解析：a bit后面接形容詞，而a bit of后面接名詞或代詞,。本句詞組catch a cold中的“cold”是名詞,，所以用“a bit of”。
7.我不想讓媽媽知道李萍今晚是否來看我,。
誤： I won’t let mother know if Li Ping comes to see me this evening.
正： I  won’t let mother know if Li Ping will come to see me this evening.
解析：“李萍今晚來看我”是一個由if引導(dǎo)的賓語從句,，并且是將來時，故用will come,。只有當(dāng)if作“如果”講,，且主句是將來時、或含情態(tài)動詞,、或是祈使句其三者之一時,，才用所謂“主將從現(xiàn)”的形式。如：
1） Shell invite me to have dinner with her if she is free this Sunday.
2） You must stop if the light turns red.
3） Tell John about it if he comes back.
8.杰克問我小強(qiáng)住幾樓,。
誤：Jack asks me which floor does Xiaoqiang live.
正：Jack asks me which floor Xiaoqiang lives on.
解析：其一,，“小強(qiáng)住幾樓”是賓語從句，譯成英語時要用“陳述句語序”,。其二,，“住”live是不及物動詞,，“住幾樓”應(yīng)是“live on the ... floor”。疑問代詞which實(shí)際上是on的賓語,。所以,，此句中詞尾的介詞on不能丟。再如：
1） Whom are you waiting for
2） What is Tonny listening to
3） I really don’t know what to write about.
9.明天我要找人修一下自行車,。
誤：I will have my bike to repair tomorrow.
正：I will have my bike repaired tomorrow.
解析：“找某人做某事”應(yīng)該是“have sth. done”,。 又如：
I will have my hair cut tomorrow.明天我要理理發(fā)。“cut”在這里是過去分詞,。
10.他有足夠多的時間完成這項工作,。
誤： He has much time enough to finish the work.
正： He has enough time to finish the work.
解析：enough修飾名詞時，要放在該名詞前面,，如果修飾形容詞或副詞,，則放在該形容詞或副詞的后面。如：
There’s enough food in the fridge.
John runs fast enough to catch up with the others.
11.在十九世紀(jì)六十年代,，數(shù)百名歐洲人來到了這個城市,。
誤：In 1860s, hundreds of Europeans came to this city.
正：In the 1860s, hundreds of Europeans came to this city.
解析：表示“在……世紀(jì)……年代”時，年份后面不但加“s”,，而且前面還要有“the”,。如果表示“在哪年”，就只需用“in+年份”,，如：in 1860,。
12.我不在時幫我照顧小孩，你真是太好了,。
誤：It’s very nice for you to take care of my baby while I was away.
正：It’s very nice of you to take care of my baby while I was away.
解析：在描述人的品質(zhì),、性格時用of。如：
He is a man of few words.他是個寡言少語的人,。
Its very kind of you to give me so much help,！給我這么多幫助，你真是太好了,！
在“Its +形容詞+for sb.+不定式短語+其他”的句子中,，“for”譯為“對……來說”。
如： Its very important for us to learn English well.這里的“for”不能換成“to”,。
