27、意词，作为及物动词用时有时二者是可以互换的，如：The student answered/replied that he wanted to watch TV. 但在某些特定 场合则不易互换。作为应答之意时则多用 answer，如：You should answer to your name. Please answer my letter as soon as possible. Answer my question in English.any误 Do you have some questions?正 Do you have any questions?析 some 一般要用于肯定句，而

31、he day before yesterday.正 I reached Beijing the day before yesterday.误 He arrived in the school at 1100.正 He arrived at the school at 1100.析 arrive 为不及物动词，当到达的是较大的地理区域时用介词 in，而到达较小的地方时则用 at, 如：arrive in New York, arrive at the villag e.arrive, reach, getarrive 如上所述是不及物动词，而 reach 则是及物动词。如：How did you

35、误 He is deeply asleep.正 He is fast asleep.析 要讲“熟睡” ，就要用 fast 来修饰 asleep。另外，在英语中一般不讲 somebody is sleeping 而要用 asleep。关于睡觉这一词的惯用法还有：go to sleep (如：The old man usually goes to sleep at ten.)， fall asleep(如：I fell asleep at Englis h class yes terday.)at误 It will really do you no harm quite.正 It will rea
36、lly do you no harm at all.析 at all 和 quite 的汉语意思均为“全然” 、“确定的”，但 at all 适用于否定句，例如：-Im sorry. Im late.-No trouble at all. 又如：I dont think it is right at all. 而 quite 则适用于肯定句，例如：He is quite a good teacher.误 The children play football for lunch.正 The children play football at lunch.析 英语中的 at lunch 为“在吃午

38、corner of the room. There is a street lamp at the corner of the street.at, in, on在表示时间时用来表示具体钟点用 at，如：He will be back at six. 表示一天的上、下午时要用 in,如：I usuall y get up at six in the morning. 但要注意的是，in the morning 和 in the afternoon 这两个词组中如果加入了任何修饰词，其介词要换为 on， 如：on the cold morning, on the hot afternoon. 又
39、如：See you on Monday morning. 如讲到具体的某一天，要用 on, 如：on Sunday, 如：I usually want to visit my mother on Sundays. 在谈到周、月、季、年时要用 in，如：All the children will be happy in Easter week. He was born in July. 但要注意在泛指圣诞节、复活节、感恩节时都用 at, 如： Where are you going at Easter.Bback误 Im sorry. I have to back home.正 Im sorry
40、. I have to go back home.正 Im sorry. I have to go home.析 back 用作“回到( 某处)”之意，不是动词。be误 Where do you from?正 Where are you from?析 “你从何处来” 应为 Where are you from? 或 Where do you come from? 但要注意这两句话均是问对方从哪个国家来的。要是口语中问“你是从什么地方来?”应讲 Where did you come from? 回答用 I came from the library.beat误 We have won your

This is a beautiful park. 但要讲男人的“英俊”时要用 handsome.because误 The reason why I was late is because I was ill.正 The reas
43、on why I was late is that I was ill.误 Because it was Sunday, so the park was crowded.正 Because it was Sunday the park was crowded.析 这种错误是因为中文的习惯与英语的表述法不同，中文常讲我来晚了的原因是因为我病了，而英文中的第二个因为要用 that 代替。又因中文常讲因为所以，而英文中用了因为就不能再用所以了，同样用了“所以”也就不要再用“ 因为” 一词。例如：Becaus e we study hard, we passed the exam easily. 或者
44、：We study hard so we passed the exam easily.because, because ofbecause 后要接从句，例如： We like physics because we can learn a lot of new ideas. 而 because of 后要接名词作介词宾语，如：He is not at school because of the illness.before误 We have two hours to kill before we will go home.正 We have two hours to kill before w
45、e go home.析 kill time 意为“ 消磨时光 ”。英语状语从句中要用一般现在时表示将来的动作。如：If it rains we will not go to the park.误 I did this work two days before.正 I did this work two days ago.析 用 ago 组成的时间状语其主句中的谓语动词要用过去时，而 before 引起的时间状语其主句中的谓语动词多用完成时，如：I has done this work a few days before.before long, long beforebefore long 是
46、“不久”之意，例如： I shall go to America before long. 而 long before 则是“很久很久”之意，如：We knew this teacher long before we saw him. (我们在看到这位老师之前很久就知道他了。)begin误 The meeting will begin from Monday.正 The meeting will begin on Monday.误 The film has begun for ten minutes.正 The film has been on for ten minutes.析 begin
47、是瞬间动词，所以它的完成时态不能接表示一段时间的 状语，如：The film has begun. 这句话是对的，即“ 电影已经开始” 。但要讲已经开始 10 分钟了则要用 has been on 即“上演了 10 分钟” 。begin, startbegin 与 start 两词后面加不定式或动名词 都可以，且意思并无区 别，但在表达习惯时接动名词的用法较多，如：How old wern you when you first started learning Englis h? 但这两个词的进行时态中则多用不定式，如：I was beginning to get hungry. 但如果句子的
48、主语是物而不是人，则多用不定式，如：The ice began to melt. It started to get dark before we got to school. 当动词是表达某种心理状态时，要用不定式，如：The student began to understand his mistak es.误 They study hard in the class from the beginning to the end.正 They study hard in the class from beginning to end.析 from beginning to end 是习惯用法，即自始至终，不要加冠词，但如单独使用则要加冠词，例如：At the beginn ing,the teacher gave us an exam.behind误 He missed the class because he was behind the tim
