(二) 正误辨析

[误] We got to the top of the mountain in daybreak.

[正] We got to the top of the mountain at day break.

[析] at用于具体时刻之前,如:sunrise, midday, noon, sunset, midnight, night。 [误] Don't sleep at daytime

[正] Don't sleep in daytime.

[析] in 要用于较长的一段时间之内,如:in the morning / afternoon, 或 in the week / month 3

/ year. 或 in spring / supper /autumn / winter等等。

[误] We visited the old man in Sunday afternoon.

[正] We visited the old man on Sunday afternoon.

[析] in the morning, in the afternoon 如果在这两个短语中加入任何修饰词其前面的介词都要改为on, 如:on a cold morning, on the morning of July 14th

[误] He became a writter at his twenties

[正] He became a writter in his twenties

[析] 这句话应译为:他在20多岁时就成了作家。在某人的一段生活时间段中要用介词in来表示,而在具体岁数时用at来表示。

[误] He went to New York to find a job in sixteen years old.

[正] He went to New York to find a job at sixteen.

[析] 在具体年岁前用at, 如:at the age of 12, at your age, 等等。

[误] We went to swim in the river in a very hot day.

[正] We went to swim in the river on a very hot day.

[析] 具体某一天要用介词on, 又如:on New Year's Day

[误] I'm looking forward to seeing you on Christmas.

[正] I'm looking for ward to seeing you at Christmas.

[析] 在节日的当天用on,而全部节日期间用at,Christmas是圣诞节期间,一般要有两周或更长的时间。

[误] I haven't see you during the summer holidays.

[正] I haven't seen you since the beginning of the summer holidays.

[析] during表示在某一段时间之内,所以一般不与完成时搭配,如:I visited a lot of museums during the holiday. 而for表示一段时间,可以用于完成时,如:I haven't see you for a long time. 而through 用来表示时间时则为"整整,全部的时间"。如:It rained through the night.而since则是表达主句动作的起始时间,一般要与完成时连用。

[误] At entering the classroom, I heard the good news.

[正] On entering the classroom, I heard the good news.

[析] On 加动名词表示"一……就"。本句的译文应是:我一进入教室就听见这个好消息了。又如:on hearing… 一听见, on arrival 一到达就……(on表示动作的名词)

[误] In the beginning of the book, there are some interesting stories.

[正] At the beginning of the book, there are some interesting stories.

[析] at the begining与at the end都是指某事物的开始与结束部分,均不指时间范围,而in the beginning 则是指开始一段时间。in the end=at last是指"最终,终于"之意。 [误] Till the end of next week. I will have finished this work.

[正] By the end of next week. I will have finished this work.

[析] by 引起的时间状语表示了动作的截止点,其意思为"不迟于某一时刻将工作做完",所以主句一般是完成时态。当然可以有将来时态,如:I'll be there by five o'clock.而till则表达其一动作一直持续到某一时刻,但句中的动词一定要用持续性动词,而瞬间的截止性动词应用其否定句式,如:I won't finish this work till(until) next weekend.

[误] He came to London before last weekend.

[正] He had come to London before last weekend.

[正] He came to London two weeks ago.

[析] before 一般要与完成时连用,而ago则与一般过去时连用。

[误] I have studied English for three years gince I had come here.

4

[正] I have studied English for three years since I came here.

[析] since用来表达主句动作的开始时间,所以其引出的从句中应为过去时,而不能用完成时态

[误] I can help you repair this bike. You will get it after two hours.

[正] I can help you repair this bike. You will get it in two hours.

[析] 中文经常讲两小时之后来取,两天内会修好,而这个介词在英文中要用in而不要用after。其原因有二,①after 多用于过去时,如:I arrived in New York. After three days, I found a job in the bank. ② after 加时间是表达一个不确定的时间范围,如:after three days, 即三天之后的哪一天都可以。所以在许诺若干时间内会完成某事时,一定要用介词in。 [误] Three days after he died.

[正] After three days he died.

[正] Three days later he died.

[析] after 与 later都可以用来表达一段时间之后,但它们所处的位置不同,after 在时间词前,而later在时间词后。

[误] She hid herself after the tree.

[正] She hid herself behind the tree.

[析] after多用来表达某动作之后,所以有的语法书中称它为动态介词,如:I run after him. After finishing my homework, I went to see a film. 而behind则多用于静态事物之后。 [误] There is a beautiful bird on the tree.

[正] There is a beautiful bird in the tree.

[析] 树上长出的果实,树叶要用on, 而其他外来的人、物体均要用in the tree. [误] Shanghai is on the east of China.

[正] Shanghai is in the east of China.

[析] 在表达地理位置时有3个介词:in, on, to。 in表示在某范围之内; on表示与某地区接壤;to则表示不相接。如:Japan is to the east of China. 

[误] I arrived at New York on July 2nd.

[正] I arrived in New York on July 2nd.

[析] at用来表达较小的地方,而in用来表达较大的地方。at常用于at the school gate, at home, at a bus stop, at the station, at the cinema, at a small village。

[误] He lived in No. 3 Beijing Road.

[正] He lived at No. 3 Beijing Road.

[析] 在门牌号码前要用at, 并要注意它的惯用法:at the end of the street, at the foot of the mountain, at the top of the page。

[误] There is a colour TV set at the corner of the hall.

[正] There is a colour TV set in the corner of the hall.

[析] 在屋内的角落应用in,而墙的外角用at,如:There is a tree at the corner of the street.

[误] This weekend I'll stay in Uncle Wang's.

[正] This weekend I'll stay at Uncle Wang's.

[析] 要注意英文的特殊表达法,如:at a tailor's shop (裁缝店)=at a tailor's, at the doctor's (去看病) at the bookseller's (在书店) at uncle Wang's (在王叔叔家)

[误] Do you know there is some good news on today's newspaper?

[正] Do you know there is some good news in today's newspaper?

[析] 在报纸上的新闻要用in, 而在具体某一版上,或某一页上则要用on。

5

[误] The school will begin on September 1st.

[正] School will begin on September 1st.

[析] 这里的school应看作不可数名词泛指学校的课程,即开学之意。要注意,有些活动场所当表达正在从事该种活动时不要加冠词,如:at table (吃饭), When I came to Tom's home, they were at table. 还有: at desk (学习),at work (工作) at school (上学), in hospital (住医院) at church 作礼拜如加上定冠词则另有他意,如:at the school 即在学校工作或办事,in the hospital 即在医院工作或去看望病人。

[误] In my way to the station, I bought a newspaper to kill time.

[正] On my way to the station, I bought a newspaper to kill time.

[析] 译文为:在去车站的路上我买了份报纸,为的是消磨时光"在……的路上"应用on one's way…。而 in the way 有挡道之意,如:Please move the chair it is in the way。 [误] Look, the door is open, Maybe someone broke into.

[正] Look, the door is open, Maybe someone broke in.

[正] Look, the door is open, Maybe someone broke into the office.

[析] in是表达一个静止状态,在与break连用时其后不加介词宾语,而into则是动态介词,与break连用时要加介词宾语。

[误] I'll leave Beijing to Shanghai tomorrow.

[正] I'll leave Beijing for Shanghai.

[正] I'll leave for Shanghai.

[析] leave for 是离开某地去某处的固定搭配,不可将for改为别的介词。这样的搭配还有:start for 动身前往某处,set out for, sail for。

[误] I'm sorry. I have to get out the bus at next stop.

[正] I'm sorry. I have to get out of the bus at next stop.

[析] get in, 与 get out是两个相反的词组。get in 为上车,而get out为下车,但语法家认为这里的in与out为副词,所以其后不能接名词,我们可以讲We'd better get in. 或We'd better get out. 还有一组词组有关上下车:get on/off(a train, a ship, a struck) get into/out of (a car, taxi…)

[误] Be careful The temperature of the water is ninety degrees over zero.

[正] Be careful. The temperature of the water is ninety degrees above zero.

[析] over 与 above 在作为比某物高的意思时有时可以互换。但在垂直方向上的高矮时,即正上方时则要用above.而泛指上方时用over.

[误] There is an old stone bridge above the river.

[正] There is an old stone bridge over the river.

[析] over还有一意为"跨越,横跨"。

[误] The Dead Sea is under the sea level.

[正] The Dead Sea is below the sea level.

[析] 在垂直下方要用below.也就是讲above与below互为反意词,over与under也是反意词。

[误] There is a big tree in the front of the house.

[正] There is a big tree in front of the house. 

[析] in front of 是在物体外部的前面,而in the front of 是在物体内部的前面,如:The driver sits in the front of the bus.

[误] It took them two days to walk across the forest.

[正] It took them two days to walk through the forest.

6

[析] across 作为介词有两个主要意思:① 横过,如:I want to walk across the street.② 对面,如:There is a post office across the street,而through 多用于三维空间中的穿越。across则多用于平面上的横过。如:The little girl ran across the room to meet her mother. [误] The sun sets toward the west.

[正] The sun sets in the west.

[析] towards也可用作toward,它主要表达朝向某方向运动,但不一定到达,如:He ran toward(s) the mountain.而在表示方位east, west, north, south 时,其前面要用in。要注意的是这4个词可以用作副词,如:I went south. 也可用作名词,如:I went to the south.也可用作形容词,如:I went to the south part of China.

[误] Do you have no other clothes except those?

[正] Do you have no other clothes besides those?

[析] beside 是"在……旁边",如:The students stood beside their teachers.而besides是"除……之外,不仅……而且……,除了……以外还有……", 如:I studied English besides French, when I was in college. 而except 则是从同一类物体中去掉某一部分,如:I come here every day except Sunday. 而except for 是指去掉不同种类的事物,如:The room is clean except for two chairs. 而except that则要加从句。

[误] Can I write the exam paper with ink?

[正] Can I write the exam paper with a pen?

[正] Can I write the exam paper in ink?

[析] with后要加拿得起来放得下的工具,而墨水、颜料等原料则要用in。

[误] I'm earlier today. I came here by his car.

[正] I'm earlier today. I came here in his car.

[析] 在交通工具前加介词by,但不能再有任何指示代词或冠词,否则要改换相应的介词。by taxi=in a taxi

by train=in a train

by bicycle=on a bicycle

by ship=on a ship

by boat=in a boat

by bus=on a bus

by plane=on a plane

[析] be good at 为"擅长某事",而be good for somebody为对某人很好。

[误] It was good to you to help my little boy.
