1、2011年中考英语易错题(4)湖北省宜昌市第五中学 葛 林1. at误It will really do you no harm quite.正It will really 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
2、play football for lunch.正The children play football at lunch.析英语中的 at lunch 为“在吃午饭时” 。这种惯用法还有 at work(在工作) ,at table(在吃饭) ,at desk(在学习) 。而 for lunch 则是为午饭而准备的食物,又如:We had some milk for breakfast.误There is a post office in the corner of the street.正There is a post office at the corner of the street.
3、析at the corner 是指墙外面的角,而 in the corner 是指建筑物内部的角落。例如:There is a computer in the 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 usually get up at six in the morning.但要注意的是: in the morning 和 in the after
4、noon 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 a
5、re you going at Easter.2.back误Im sorry. I have to back home.正Im sorry. 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。3. 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 y
6、ou come from?回答用 I came from the library.4. beat误We have won your class.正We have beaten your class.正We have won the game.析win 是胜过之意,它是及物动词,但其后的宾语只能接比赛、战争、奖品、奖金的名称,如:Which team won the football match? 而 beat 指打败对手、敌人如:My brother beat me at poker.(要注意的是, beat 的过去式与原形相同,而过去分词为 beaten) 。 误The ball beat
7、me badly.正The ball hit me badly.误He used to hit the little boy black and blue.正He used to beat the little boy black and blue.析beat 指打击多次,而 hit 则为击中对方的一次性打击。5. beautiful误He is a beautiful boy.正He is a handsome boy.析我们可以讲 She is a beautiful girl. This is a beautiful park.但要讲男人的“英俊”时要用 handsome.6. beca
8、use误The reason why I was late is because I was ill.正The reason 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
9、如:Because we study hard, we passed the exam easily.或者: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.7. before误We have two hours to kill before
10、we will go home.正We have two hours to kill before we 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 day
11、s before.before, long, long beforebefore long 是“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。 )8. begin误The meeting will begin from Monday.正The meeting will begin on Monday.误The film has begun for ten minutes. 正
12、The film has been on for ten minutes.析begin 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 were you when you first started learning English?但这两个词的进行时态中则多用不定式,如:I wa
13、s beginning to get hungry.但如果句子的主语是物而不是人,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 mistakes.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
14、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 beginning, the teacher gave us an exam.9. behind误He missed the class because he was behind the time.正He missed the class because he was behind time.析behind time 一短语意为 “晚了” ,而 behind the times 意为“落后于时代” 。behind 是介词同时又是副词,如 Come out from be
15、hind the door(介词). Hes a long way behind(副词) . He fell behind with his classmates(副词).10. below误Whats that below the chair.正Whats that under the chair.析under 意为“正下方” ,而 below 意为“比低” ,或指“在下游” 。如:There is a fall below the river.(河的下游有一个瀑布。 )其反义词为 over,如:There is a big plane flying over the city.但在“下面的例子”一表达语中则要用 the example below,而不要用 under.
