英語寫作中容易出錯的單詞有哪些

　　9. congratulate

　　典型錯誤：She congratulated them for what they had achieved.

　　正確表達：congratulate (祝賀、道賀)常與介詞on/upon連用。例：

　　We congratulated him on having passed the examination.

　　10. passed

　　典型錯誤：I past my driving test.

　　正確表達：動詞pass的一般過去時變化是規(guī)則的，即passed; 而past不是動詞形式，可作形容詞、名詞、介詞和副詞。故應(yīng)將上句中的past改為passed。例：

　　I’ve been ill for the past two weeks.

　　The old man is living in the past. 這位老人現(xiàn)在生活在過去之中。

　　11. cross

　　典型錯誤：The soldiers acrossed the bridge by means of ladders.

　　正確表達：作介詞或副詞的across不能單獨作謂語，可將上句中的acrossed改為動詞crossed或went across。

　　12. during

　　典型錯誤：During you are away, I’ll be kind to him.

　　正確表達：during (在……內(nèi);在……時期中)是一介詞，故不能作關(guān)聯(lián)詞。上句須改為：While you are away, I’ll be kind to him. 例：

　　Not a word did they exchange during the meal.

　　13. between

　　典型錯誤：You’re to sit between Tom and I.

　　正確表達：介詞between(在……之間)后的代詞應(yīng)用賓格，故上句應(yīng)改為：

　　You’re to sit between Tom and me.

　　14. more

　　典型錯誤：My room is much more better than the one next door.

　　正確表達：上句中better已是形容詞比較級，故須去掉more。

　　15.upstairs

　　典型錯誤：We go to upstairs to bed.

　　正確表達：作副詞時，upstairs及downstairs前不用介詞，上句應(yīng)改為：

　　We go upstairs to bed.

　　16. lately

　　典型錯誤：He got here five minutes lately.

　　正確表達：lately是指“最近(recently)”,而late作副詞時是表示“晚;到很晚”，故上句應(yīng)改為：

　　He got here five minutes late.

　　Have you seen her lately?

　　△ 試比較以下含“形似意異”詞語的句子：

　　a. He works hard in school while his brother hardly ever reads a book.

　　在校他努力學習然而他弟弟幾乎不讀書。

　　b. Most of them, who were mostly friends of the manager, were saved in the fire.

　　他們中的大多數(shù)被從火災(zāi)中救了出來，他們主要是經(jīng)理的朋友。

　　c. Only when December draws near do I realize that it’s nearly Christmas.

　　只有當十二月臨近我才意識到幾乎已是圣誕節(jié)了。

　　17. price

　　典型錯誤：The owner charged an expensive price for his new flat.

　　正確表達：price常與high/reasonable/right/low 等連用，而expensive, cheap則常與表“物品”的名詞連用。例：

　　Loneliness is a high price to pay for independence in your old age.

　　孤寂是老年獨自生活要付出的高昂代價。

　　I can’t afford the car; it’s too expensive.

　　18. from place to place

　　典型錯誤：Fishes in the ocean are carried from places to places by tides.

　　正確表達：英語中通常講究一個平行結(jié)構(gòu)原則：兩個相同的名詞放在一個平行結(jié)構(gòu)里，名詞一般用單數(shù)且前通常不加冠詞。例：

　　face to face(面對面)

　　hand in hand(手牽手)

　　side by side (并肩)

　　shoulder to shoulder(并肩、協(xié)力)neck and neck(賽馬等)并駕齊驅(qū)、不分上下day by day(指漸進的過程)day after day(重復(fù)的單一的行動)

　　△ 但在諺語“以眼還眼 以牙還牙。”中則是：

　　an eye for an eye (and a tooth for a tooth)

　　19. key

　　典型錯誤：The key of success is preparation.

　　正確表達：key作“最重要的事;答案、解釋、說明等”解時，其后常與to連用，構(gòu)成the key to sth. 例：

　　Here is a key to the grammar exercises.

　　20. what

　　典型錯誤：All what I am afraid of is their taking him to Paris.

　　正確表達：關(guān)系代詞型的what相當于the thing(s) that (which)，其前不能再用先行詞。上句可改為：

　　All that I am afraid of is their taking him to Paris. 或

　　What I am afraid of is their taking him to Paris.
