英語寫作中常見的幾個寫作錯誤

由 万俟傲白 發佈於 經典

幾乎所有的英語學習者——包括一些以英語為母語的人——都會時不時地犯一些錯誤。這些錯誤大部分是可以很容易避免的。希望這篇文章能幫助你發現這些錯誤，並在寫作中避免這些錯誤。


1. 不定冠詞/定冠詞的用法(the, a, an)

知道何時使用定冠詞或不定冠詞是很困難的。以下是使用定冠詞和不定冠詞時需要記住的一些重要規則。

  • 不定冠詞在句子中首次出現時使用(a, an)。

  • 在作者和讀者都不知道的事情上使用不定冠詞。

  • 與前兩個詞相關:用定冠詞來指代已經提到過的東西。

  • 相反，當提到作者和讀者都知道的對象時，使用定冠詞(the)。

  • 當可數名詞用複數或不可數名詞用單數時，不要使用定冠詞或不定冠詞(換句話説就是nothing)。


下面是這些錯誤的五個例子，按順序，針對上面列出的每種類型。

  • I live in the apartment, close to the supermarket.

  • I'd like to go to the good restaurant.

  • I stayed in the hotel near the park. The hotel was very nice, and a park had some wonderful paths.

  • Remember a presentation we went to last week?

  • The apples are generally very tasty in season.


以下是修改後的句子:

  • I live in an apartment, close to a supermarket. (注意，我知道公寓和超市，而你作為聽眾/讀者卻不知道。)

  • I'd like to go to a good restaurant.

  • I stayed in a hotel near a park. The hotel was very nice, and the park had some wonderful paths.

  • Remember the presentation we went to last week?

  • Apples are generally very tasty in season.


2.“I”和國家的形容詞/名詞/語言名稱以及新句子的第一個詞都要大寫


英語中的大寫規則令人困惑。然而，最常見的大寫錯誤是國家形容詞、名詞和語言名稱。記住這些規則可以幫助你避免這種大寫錯誤。


  • I首字母大寫

  • 將國家、國家名詞和形容詞大寫——法語、俄語、英語、意大利、加拿大等。

  • 在一個新句子或問題中，第一個單詞的第一個字母要大寫

  • 一般名詞不要大寫，只有當它們是某物的名稱時才大寫

  • 人、機構、節日等的專有名稱要大寫。


下面是一個適用於最後兩點的例子。

I go to university. (普通名詞-> university)

BUT

I go to the University of Texas. (專有名詞)


下面是五個例子，按順序，針對上面列出的每一種錯誤。

  • Jack comes from Ireland, but i come from the US.

  • I don't speak chinese, but I speak a little french.

  • where do you come from?

  • He bought a new Bicycle for his birthday.

  • Let's visit maria this afternoon.


下面是修改後的句子：

  • Jack comes from Ireland, but I come from the US.

  • I don't speak Chinese, but I speak a little French.

  • Where do you come from?

  • He bought a new bicycle for his birthday.

  • Let's visit Maria this afternoon.


3.俚語和短信語言

許多英語學習者，尤其是年輕的英語學習者喜歡在網上使用俚語和短信語言。這背後的想法很好:學習者想表現出他們理解並能使用習慣用語。然而，使用這種習慣用語會導致許多錯誤。解決這個問題最簡單的方法就是不要在博客帖子、評論或其他在線書面交流中使用短信或俚語。如果你在發短信，發短信沒問題，否則就不應該使用。任何較長的書面交流都不應該使用俚語。俚語只用於口語，不用於書面交流。


4. 標點符號的使用

英語學習者在使用標點符號時有時會遇到問題。我經常收到電子郵件，看到帖子裏的標點符號前後都沒有空格。規則很簡單:將標點符號(.，:;!?)緊接在單詞的最後一個字母后，再加上一個空格。

下面是一些例子:

  • They visited Paris,London,Berlin and New York.

  • I'd like to have some pasta , and a steak 

犯了小錯誤，改正簡單!.

  • They visited Paris, London, Berlin and New York.

  • I'd like to have some pasta, and a steak.


5. 英語常見錯誤

實際上不止一個錯誤。然而，英語中有一些常見的錯誤。下面是英語寫作中最常見的三個錯誤。

  • It's或Its - It's = It is / Its =所有格形式。記住，當你看到撇號(')時，會少一個動詞!

  • Then or Than——Than用於比較級(It's bigger Than my house!)'Then'是用來表達時間的(First you do this. Then you do that)

  • Good或Well - Good是形容詞形式(That's a good story!)Well是副詞形式(He plays tennis well.)。


下面有6個例子，每兩個是按順序排列的，針對上面列出的每一種錯誤。

  • He attributed his success to it's appeal to children.

  • I think its time to discuss this question in more detail.

  • The government decided it would cost more money to change policy then to leave current law stand.

  • She can first finish her homework, than go to practice.

  • How good do you speak German?

  • I think he's well public speaker.


以下是修改後的句子:

  • He attributed his success to its appeal to children.

  • I think it's time to discuss this question in more detail.

  • The government decided it would cost more money to change policy than to leave current law stand.

  • She can first finish her homework, then go to practice.

  • How well do you speak German?

  • I think he's good public speaker.
