在翻译时,许多学习者的初始反应是使用“there be 句型。然而,由此产生的“no the same leaf 在英语中实则是一种语病。此时,若改用“have”句型(例如:“We don 't have the same leaf on the earth.)就显得自然得多。这类语言运用的细节问题,往往只有在主动进行原创表达的过程中,才会被察觉。而正是通过发现并修正这些问题,我们的语言能力,才得以持续提升。今天点评的习作, 不仅体现了这一典型错误,还伴有其它词汇和语法疏漏。看看原文吧,你能发现几个问题?
一,发现问题
二,分析问题并修改
(一)arrive 是不及物动词,不能接宾语,后面可以接介词短语,in大地点,at小地点。
1.We arrived in Beijing yesterday.
2.After I arrived at the shop...
(二)offer to do 提出做某事,offer不能接从句,所以这里换动词suggest 接宾语从句
His wife suggested I should let him do the work.
(三)我们学过the same相同的,但是这里是否定意义,there was no the same size不地道,只能另选have结构。
Since they didn't have the same size for...
既然他们没有相同的尺寸。
下面是DeepSeek对我的评价
根据语境,后来我又改成了they didn't have the same size
(四)readily 是副词,修饰行为动词accept,应该放在动词不定式后面,而不是前面。后面的it完全可以用非限制性定语从句,which指代前面的内容。关于某某做某事很难,这里可以用it做make的形式宾语,动词不定式复合结构for me to refuse做真正宾语。
1.He seemed to accept the task readily, which made it difficult for me to refuse.[微风][烟花]他好像很可以接受这个任务,这使我很难拒绝他。
2.It's difficult for me to learn maths.
我学数学很吃力。形式主语和真正主语。
(五)I had to accept不如用另一个结构更地道,况且,accept是及物动词,必须接宾语。而agree是不及物动词。
So I couldn't help but agree.[微风][烟花]
我只好同意了。
(六)日记中,动词用过去。况且,主语第三人称单数,就算是一般现在时态,也应该是needs吗,而不是动词原形。
He said he needed to go to another place to finish the work first. So I could directly return home and wait for him.
根据语境,优化词汇和语法,我最后修改版本如下
After I arrived at that shop, the female shop owner (性别放前面) checked the samples I brought. Her husband came in. He quickly found the new lamps. But since they didn't have the same size for the embedded ceiling lamp at the toilet, he brought me a large one. I pointed out the mounting problem. His wife suggested I should let him do the work. He seemed to accept the task readily, which made it difficult for me to refuse. So I couldn't help but agree. He said he needed to go to another place to finish the work first. So I could directly return home and wait for him.
三,总结
原创英文的时候,注意几点∶
1.日记都是过去时态;
2.注意各词性的用法∶名词,形容词,介词和副词。
3.各种结构∶ the same, 定语从句,形式宾语和真正宾语;形式主语和真正主语。
思考题[微风][烟花]有错就改。
1.They arrived home at ten last night.
2.He often plays the flute in the morning, I like it very much.
3.There are more than twenty woman teachers in our school.
4.My brother found a wallet on ground.
