1、常见中国式英语错误及改正（一）第四词 Surprise有人可能会说，这个词有什么了不起？选中这个词，完全就看重这个词包含的一种文化。西方人注重生活情调，特别看重带给朋友或家人的“惊喜 ”。先看几个句子：1、我男朋友来看我了。真是个惊喜！My boyfriend has come to see me. Its really a big surprise!2、对于这名老教师来说，真是惊喜连连啊。To this veteran teacher, its one surprise after another.这个词荒延谩 W 魑 耍 岣咦约旱纳 钊叮 投嗟鉺 urprise 吧！在 中，约有 25,
2、100,000 项符合 surprise 的查询结果。总评：使用频率：造句功能：西方思维：第五词 Skills首先感谢上面的朋友捧场。我们一起学习，一起进步。作“ 技能、水平 ”讲。以前一想到 “水平”一词，就会想到 level 一词，但是老外可不是这么想的。 skills 一词，更近。先看几个句子：1、怎样才能提高我们的英语水平？Chinglish：How to improve our English level? （他们一般不这么说，但是应该可以看懂）Revision ：How to improve our English skills?2、他写作、翻译水平很高。Chinglish：His
3、 writing and translating level are very high.Revision：He has very good writing and translation skills.现在追求技术的时代，skills 也走俏。什么 English skills, computer skills, study skills, survival skills, writing skills.都泛滥了，我们也决口一次如何？总评：使用频率：造句功能：西方思维：第六词 Offer这个词比较微妙。英译中时不太好处理，正因如此，这个词才值得我们重视。先看几个句子：1、谢谢你的好意，不过我
4、可以走回去。Chinglish：Thank you for your goodwill, but I can go home on foot.Revision: Thanks for your offer, but I can walk home.2、全国人民纷纷向灾区伸出了援助之手。version 1:People from all over the country all giving their hands to the disaster area.Alt Version: People from all over the country are offering helping han
5、ds to the disaster area.3、他给了一件工作给我。version 1: He gave me a job to do.Better version: He offered me a job.Offer 可以做动词用，也可以做名词用。还有一些固定搭配，其中 Job offer 非常红。凡是带有“给予” 、 “善意提供的（帮忙） ”等意思，就可以考虑 offer 这个词。我们可以把 give 一些空间让点给 offer。这个机会可是我最后给你的。答应不答应随你的便。This is my last offer to you. Take it or leave it.总评：使用频
6、率：第二十一词： Fail表示没办到，没做到，失信，或该做什么没做。这个词用好了，也不简单了。不过这个词特别好用。我们只需要加学一个 fail to 句型。请看例句：1、他昨天在演讲中没有提到过我们。 （背景：该提到但是没提到）Version 1: He didnt mention us in his speech yesterday.Better version: He failed to mention us in his speech yesterday.2、如果应用程序启动不了，也别慌张。Chinglish: If the program cant be started, please
7、 dont be afraid.Revision: If the application fails to load, just relax.顺便说一下，这个词开始我也没注意过，后来经常看到老外喜欢这么说，再一注意，果真是这样的。总评：使用频率：造句功能：西方思维：第二十二词 Appreciate感谢以上各位捧场，祝你们好运！Im pretty busy, but I promise Ill keep this thread updated!I really appreciate your replies and your encouragement!Any constructive idea
8、s would be highly appreciated!这个词一般就这样用。表示“感激” 。礼貌用语，必不可少。总评：使用频率：造句功能：西方思维：第二十三词 Contribute名词形式是 contribution. 意思有“ 捐献”、 “投稿” 等意思。凡是有贡献，都可以叫 contribution。contribute 这个动词一般与 to 连用。例句：1、这事他也出了不少力。Chinglish: He also supplied his strength to this.Revision: He also contributed a lot to this.2、谢谢你啊，你可帮了大
9、忙了。Version1 : Thank you very much. You really helped a lot.Version 2: I really appreciate your great contribution.（看情况）3、你只知道批评别人，你自己做了多少事？Chinglish: You only know how to criticise others, but how much thing have you done yourself?Revision: Youre a critic! Wheres your contribution?这个词用起来自然。好用，实用。总评：
10、使用频率：造句功能：第七词 Difference意思是差别。对于 difference 只需要掌握一到两个短语，我们口语水平就会前进一大步，让你的同学对你刮目相看，那就是make a difference（有很大不同）或 make no differences（没什么不同） 。1、你说的什么移动、联通， 我看还不一路货色。Youre talking about Telecom and Unicom. The way I see it, they make no differences at all.2、这种化妆品你用用看，效果绝对不一样。Chinglish: Please use this k
11、ind of cosmetics, the effect is absolutely different.Revision: Please try this sort of cosmetics, i bet itll make a big difference.（不好意思，我就是喜欢 try 这个词）3、上帝啊，再给我一次机会，我不会再这样了。Chinglish：God, please give me a chance again, I wont do this again.Revision: God, please grant me another chance, and Ill make
12、a difference.凡是一样不一样，都可以考虑这 2 个短语，你用好了，绝对可以 make a difference。另外说一下，受教科书的影响，说不同的时候中国学生习惯 be different from 这一句型。但是很多时候 differ from 这个动词形式更简单，try it, and youll make a difference，让你的老师、同学对你刮目相看。西方人崇尚个人奋斗，追求与他人不一样。这个词，对于他们来说，太神圣了。在 中，make a difference 这一短语搜索结果近 600 万，我们用过几次了。所以以后有条件，我们就要 make a differ
13、ence，没有条件时，创建条件也要 make a difference。总评：使用频率：造句功能：西方思维：第八词 pointpointless（没意义）一词也算它一伙的。提到这个词，完全是 meaning 一词在作怪。先看几个例子：1、你这样做是什么意思？Chinglish: What is your meaning in doing this?Revision: Whats your point?2、如果你抽烟的话，哪怕就别怕得癌症。再问“上帝怎么这样对我啊” 没什么意义。Chinglish: If you smoke, you should not be afraid to get lu
14、ng cancer. Its meaningless to ask “why did God do this to me?“. （注：meaningless可用，但是老外不爱用，爱用的是我们）Revision: If you smoke, you should be prepared to get lung cancer; its pointless toask “why did God do this to me?“.要脑子，转变中式思维习惯，就别怕“矫枉过正” 。以后凡是遇到“有意义”、 “没意义 ”的时候，先考虑 point/poinless，而不要先考虑meaning 什么的。总评：使
15、用频率：造句功能：西方思维：第九词 Access意思很多，英汉不好一一对应，先看一些例句。1、我这里上不了网。Chinglish: I cant go on internet here. （老外还以为是你有事、或这里不适合而不能上网）Revision: I cant access the web/the internet here. （说明想上但是上不了）2、天！今天我邮箱打不开了！Chinglish: My god! I cant open my mail box today! （我看也可以这么说，但是这样说不如下面的好）Revision: My god! I cant access my
16、mail box today!这个词网络味比较浓，既然我们天天上网来混，应该多了解一下。总评：使用频率：造句功能：西方思维：第十词 Sense这个词主要由于几个相关短语而流行的。这几个短语分别是： a sense of (responsibility, humor.)-有幽默感等, make sense/not make any sense，有意义，没意义（所以我说别老用 meaningless，不是人家听不懂，那很中式的） 。几个例句：1、我很喜欢他。他很有幽默感。Chinglish: I very like him. He is very humorous.Revision: I like
17、 him very much. He has a good sense of humor.2、我知道，不过有的地方没什么意义。Chinglish: I know, but its meaningless in some places.Revision: I know, but again at some point it doesnt make any sense.3、什么？至少六周？这样做有什么意义呢？What? at least 6 weeks? Does it make any sense?（或 whats your point?）总评：使用频率：A: Weve noticed that
