一. 不一致(disagreements) U[K0{PbY
所谓不一致不光指主谓不一致,它还包括了数的不一致 时态不一致及代词不一 致等. vHZX9LQU0+
例1. when one have money ,he can do what he want to . f\U? :83
(人一旦有了钱,他就能想干什么就干什么.) 03i?"MvNo
剖析:one是单数第三人称,因而本句的have应改为has ;同理,want应改为wants.本句是典型的主谓不一致. c,b`N0dOKL
改为: once one has money ,he can do what he wants (to do) b/a?\0^
二. 修饰语错位(misplaced modifiers) |
SSfG~r
英语与汉语不同,同一个修饰语置于句子不同的位置,句子的含义可能引起变化.对于这一点中国学生往往没有引起足够的重视,因而造成了不必要的误解.例1. i believe i can do it well and i will better know the world outside the campus.
4\ uZKv@,
剖析:better位置不当,应置于句末. luP'JUq
三. 句子不完整(sentence fragments) i'eYmm96Q
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理解.可是书面语就不同了,句子结构不完整会令意思表达不清,这种情况常常发生在主句写完以后,笔者又想加些补充说明时发生. u&l
>cJ'
例1. there are many ways to know the society. for example by tv ,radio ,newspaper and so on . z=- 8iks|
剖析:本句后半部分"for example by tv ,radio ,newspaper and so on .”不是一个完整的句子,仅为一些不连贯的词语,不能独立成句. J
pCZq
#
改为:there are many ways to know society ,for example ,by tv ,radio ,and newspaper. Ba\wq:
四. 悬垂修饰语(dangling modifiers) C+Fh$
所谓悬垂修饰语是指句首的短语与后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.按一般推理不可能是my grandfather, 如果我们把这个悬垂修饰语改明确一点,全句就不那么费解了. T_YMM'`
改为: v4Fnh`{
when i was ten, my grandfather died. (e bBH
例1. to do well in college, good grades are essential. +Y.uZJ6+
剖析:句中不定式短语 “to do well in college” 的逻辑主语不清楚. cLN[o8ZU
改为:来源:考试大网 ((hJmaq
to do well in college, a student needs good grades. Le#E! sU
五. 词性误用(misuse of parts of speech) OyG_thX
“词性误用”常表现为:介词当动词用;形容词当副词用;名词当动词用等. D x>1y
例1. none can negative the importance of money. mBD!:V'
剖析:negative 系形容词,误作动词。 ~(l2%(3G
改为: hK9t}NE.O
none can deny the importance of money. {C,1w
六. 指代不清(ambiguous reference of pronouns)
U{
za m
指代不清主要讲的是代词与被指代的人或物关系不清,或者先后所用的代词不一致。试看下面这一句: nIN%<3U2
mary was friendly to my sister because she wanted her to be her bridesmaid. .T62aJ
(玛丽和我姐姐很要好,因为她要她做她的伴娘。) Wj f>:\w
读完上面这一句话,读者无法明确地判断两位姑娘中谁将结婚,谁将当伴娘。如果我们把易于引起误解的代词的所指对象加以明确,意思就一目了然了。这个句子可改为: 2gC&R1H
mary was friendly to my sister because she wanted my sister to be her bridesmaid. 3 DO$^JJ.
例1. and we can also know the society by serving it yourself. 0[$Mo3c+'
剖析:句中人称代词we 和反身代词yourself指代不一致。改为: J*q=C%}.
we can also know society by serving it ourselves. HLyFyv\
七. 不间断句子(run-on sentences) *nUpO]
什么叫run-on sentence?请看下面的例句。 0z'={6,
例1. there are many ways we get to know the outside world. 6GrMcI@hS
剖析:这个句子包含了两层完整的意思:“there are many ways.” 以及“we get to know the outside world.”。简单地把它们连在一起就不妥当了。 D=I5[t0c4
改为: }5Tyz i(
there are many ways for us to learn about the outside world. 或: ]9yA0,z/
there are many ways through which we can become acquainted with the outside ,j(p}t
world ?/|@ #&
八. 措词毛病(troubles in diction) E 4$h%5
diction 是指在特定的句子中如何适当地选用词语的问题,囿于教学时间紧迫,教师平时在这方面花的时间往往极其有限,影响了学生在写作中没有养成良好的推敲,斟酌的习惯。他们往往随心所欲,拿来就用。所以作文中用词不当的错误比比皆是。 $X<<JnsK
例1. the increasing use of chemical obstacles in agriculture also makes pollution. ptc H>wM!
(农业方面化学物质使用的不断增加也造成了污染。) f29HQhXqS
剖析:显然,考生把obstacles“障碍”,“障碍物”误作substance“物质”了。另外“the increasing use (不断增加的使用)” 应改为“abusive use (滥用)”。 3PR7g
改为: ^D>M Dj6
the abusive use of chemical substances in agriculture also causes/leads to pollution. @2Y]p.$q
九. 累赘(redundancy) [,szx1
言以简洁为贵。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: __zu-!v
in spite of the fact that he is lazy, i like him. ht74h
本句的“the fact that he is lazy”系同谓语从句,我们按照上述“能用词组的不用从句”可以改为:in spite of his laziness, i like him. 4uAb
LSh9
例1. for the people who are diligent and kind, money is just the thing to be used to buy the thing they need. *,*:6^t
剖析:整个句子可以大大简化。 bHo?Rw!.
改为: ALt";8Oa
diligent, caring people use money only to buy what they need. .2 SIU4[P
十. 不连贯(incoherence) rM~IF+f0XD
不连贯是指一个句子前言不对后语,或是结构上不畅通。这也是考生常犯的毛病。 JA(q>>4
例1. the fresh water, it is the most important things of the earth. }d*sWSPu(
剖析:the fresh water 与逗号后的it 不连贯。it 与things 在数方面不一致。 }lvP|6Y: y
改为:来源:考试大 r- "`Abev
fresh water is the most important thing in the world. XxU}|jTO#
十一. 综合性语言错误(comprehensive misusage) z^GGJu%vjr
所谓“综合性语言错误”,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。 x)sDf!d4bi
例1.today, money to everybody is very importance, our’s eat, cloth, live, go etc.
