病句纠错
2014-11-27
【下面的病句来自同学的习作,你能找出其中的错误吗?】
● I will recommend two kinds of books to you. The popular science books and literary books.
句意为“我将向你们推荐两种书:科普书和文学书”。但是,第二个句子是一个名词组成的短语。一般情况下,短语不能当句子。
一个完整的句子至少要有主语和谓语,有时候宾语也不能少,像这样直接拿名词或名词短语当句子是同学们常犯的低级错误。应将句子改为:
I will recommend two kinds of books to you: the popular science books and literary books.
● Literary books can be beneficial for our students.
句意为“文学书使我们这些学生受益匪浅”。这个句子乍一看似乎很高级,使用了高级词汇beneficial,但再一细看,就能发现这个词的前后搭配不对。应改为:
Literary books can be beneficial to us students.
● Compare with those one-child families, my family is quite different.
句意为“和那些独生子女家庭相比,我的家庭很不一样”。看起来,这位同学想在前半个分句使用非谓语结构,但没有用对。不同家庭的情况是被拿来比较的,所以应将compare改为compared,表示被动:
Compared with those one-child families, mine is quite different.
● Reading more literary books also can help us improve our writing skills.
句意为“阅读大量文学书还可以帮助我们加强写作技能”。这里also和can的位置不对,修饰动词的副词应该放在动词后面,这一点常常被同学们忽略。应改为:
Reading more literary books can also help us improve our writing skills.
● The teacher asked me if I am interested in my new lessons.
句意为“老师问我对自己的新课程是否感兴趣”。主句是一般过去时asked,从句却用了一般现在时am,这是典型的主句与从句时态不一致。应改为:
The teacher asked me if I was interested in my new lessons.
