首先我给各位考生提供几个句子自测一下。如果你能正确判断下列三个句子的正误,并且能将错误的句子改正,呵呵,恭喜你! 你的语法很不错,没有必要买下这本书。如果你不能做到这一点, 我劝你不要犹豫,为了美好的明天,为了不至于在睡梦中因为后悔而痛哭,还是买下这本书仔细看看吧!
1. A person with broad and profound knowledge usually has a better life than the one who does not.
2. In my point of view dinosaurs have extincted millions of years ago because of the change of climate.
3. All of people agree that comparing with his masterpiece most of the book is poorly organized.
下面我来公布一下上述问题的答案:
第一句是错的,应改为:
A person with broad and profound knowledge usually has a better life than the one without it.
或者:
A person who has broad and profound knowledge usually has a better life than the one who does has not.
原因在于:汉语的“有”在英语里有"“with”和“have”两种译法,但是一个是动词,一个是介词。此外,根据英语的表达习惯,两个被比较对象及其修饰语最好用大体一致的结构,要么都用介词短语,要么都用定语从句。
第二句也是错的,应改为:
From my point of view dinosaurs died out millions of years ago because of the change of climate.
或者:
In my opinion it has been millions of years since dinosaurs died out because of the change of climate.
原因在于:from my point of view和in my opinion是固定用法,不能更改;extinct是形容词,而且现在完成时态不能和ago 连用。注意:短暂性动词也是可以用现在完成时态的,只是不能和一段时问连用。
第三句还是错的,应改为:
All of the people agree that compared with his masterpiece most of the book is poorly organized.
原因在于:all、most、some、many、much、few of等后面跟的名词前要用限定词(如冠词等)修饰;compare是个及物动词;而most of the book是“书的大部分内容”的意思,不需要改成most of the books。
可以看到上面例子中所有的语法规则和单词大多数都是高中时已经学过了的。怎么样,你的成绩如何?你对自己的语法功底有明确认识了吗?
