英語寫作中語言和句子的常見錯誤
英語寫作中語言和句子的常見錯誤
(一)逗號的使用問題
逗號是用來幫助讀者更好地進行閱讀的。沒有逗號句子就會發(fā)生碰撞,或者引起誤解。例:
誤解:IfyoucookElmerwilldothedishes.
誤解:Whilewewereeatingarattlesnakeapproachedourcampsite.
在合乎邏輯的地方加上逗號(aftercookandeating),立刻一切就會變明白了。就不會錯誤地理解成為Elmerbeingcooked,therattlesnakebeingeaten.
1)在等立復合連接詞連接兩個或多個句子的時候,在等立復合連接詞前面加逗號。如:and、but、or、nor、for、so和yet。
Nearlyeveryonehasheardofloveatfirstsight,butIfellinloveatfirstdance.
一個表示引導的短語或句子后面用逗號(這個引導的短語或句子一般作狀語)。
WhenIrwinwasreadytoeat,hiscatjumpedontothetable.
Nearasmallstreamatthebottomofthecanyon,wediscoveredanabandonedshelter.在表示狀語的句子或短語比較短的情況下,一般不用逗號。
Innotimewewereat2,800feet.
當分詞短語在句首做狀語,主要用于描述后面句子中緊跟著它的名詞或代詞時,要用逗號隔開(不管句子的長短),這個逗號主要告訴讀者他們就要明白這個人或事情的身份或情況了。
Knowingthathecouldn'toutrunacar,Kevintooktothefields.
Excitedaboutthemove,AliceandDonbeganpackingtheirbooks.
注:其他表示引導的還有連接副詞、過渡詞和獨立短語。
3)表示一系列的項目時要用逗號(三個或更多個),這個項目可以是單個字、短語或者從句。
AtDominique'sonecansgroupsfilletofrattlesnake,bisonburgers,orpickledeel.
Myunclewilledmeallofhisproperty,houses,andwarehouses.
Theactivitiesincludeasearchforlosttreasure,dubiousfinancialdealings,muchdiscussionofancientheresies,andmidnightorgies.
4)在幾個并列形容詞之間用逗號或用and,而在相重或累積形容詞前面不用逗號。當兩個或多個形容詞來分別修飾一個名詞時,它們叫做并列形容詞。
Motherhasbecomeastrong,confident,independentwoman.如果它們能夠用and來連接(strongandconfidentandindependent),就叫做并列形容詞。
當形容詞不能分別來修飾時,這就叫相重或累積形容詞。
Threelargegrayshapesmovedslowlytowardus.
并列形容詞:Robertisawarm,gentle,affectionatefather.
相重(累積)形容詞:Iraorderedarichchocolatelayercake.
5)用逗號隔開過渡語、插入語、獨立短語和對比成分。
過渡語包括連接副詞,如:however、therefore和moreover。
過渡短語:forexample,asamatteroffact,inotherwords等。
Minhdidnotunderstandourlanguage;moreover,hewasunfamiliarwithourcustoms.Naturalfoodsarenotalwayssaltfree;forexample,celerycontainsmoresodiumthanmostpeoplewouldimagine.
當連接副詞或過渡語出現(xiàn)在句子的一開始或者出現(xiàn)在一個獨立句子的中間時,它經(jīng)常要用逗號隔開。
Theprospectivebabysitterlookedverypromising;shewasbusy,however,throughoutthemonth
1
ofJanuary.
Asamatteroffact,Americanfootballwasestablishedbyfanswhowantedtoplayamoreorganizedgameoffootball.
注:如果連接副詞或過渡語已經(jīng)和句子融為一體,在閱讀時無需停頓,就不再需要逗號了。
它們是:also、atleast、certainly、consequently、indeed、ofcourse、nodoubt、perhaps、then和
therefore.
Bill'stypewriterisbroken;thereforeyouwillneedtoborrowSue's.
插入語:提供補充評論或信息,常常出現(xiàn)在句中或者句末。
Evolution,asfarasweknow,doesn'tworkthisway.
Thestripedbaweighedabouttwelvepounds,giveortakeafewounces.
獨立短語:獨立短語常常修飾整個句子,它常常是一個名詞加一個分詞或分詞短語。Histennisgameatlastperfected,Chriswonthecup.
Brendawasforcedtorelyonpublictransportation,hercarshavingsbeenwreckedtheweekbefore.
對比成分:以not和unlike開始的顯明對比成分應用逗號將其隔開。
NowthatIammarried,Janetalkstomeasanadult,notasherlittlesister.
Celia,unlikeRobert,hadnoloathingfordancecontests.
6)用逗號隔開直接稱呼名詞,yes和no,反意疑問句的反問部分,以及溫和感嘆詞。Forgiveus,Dr.Spock,forspankingBrian.
Yes,theLoanwillprobablybeapproved
Thefilmwasfaithfultothebook,wasn'tit?
Well,caseslikethesearedifficulttodecide.
7)用逗號將動詞和直接引語隔開。
NaturalistArthurClevelandBentremarked,“Inparttheperegrinedeclinedunnoticedbecauseit
isnotadorable.”
Convictionsaremoredangerousfoesoftruththanlies,wrotePhilosopherFriedrichNietzsche.
8)用逗號將日期、地址、頭銜和數(shù)字隔開。
日期:在日期中要用一對逗號將年和句子的其他部分隔開。
OnDecember12,1890,ordersweresentoutforthearrestofSittingBull.
注:如果日期前置或者只有年和月則不用逗號。
TherecyclingplangoessintoseffectonApril1993.
January1992wasanextremelycoldmonth.
地址:地址中的成分或地點名稱后面用逗號。郵編碼前不用逗號。
JohnLennonwasborninLiverpool,England,in1940.
PleasesendthepackagetoGregTarvinat708Springstreet,Washington,Illinois61571.稱號、頭銜:名字后面有稱號,那么就要用一對逗號將稱呼隔開。
SandraBarnes,M.D.,performedthesurgery.(M.D.醫(yī)學博士)數(shù)學:后面用逗號。3,500〔or3500〕100,000
(二)句子不完整
在寫作中一定要寫完整的句子,即每個句子必須有它的動詞(be動詞或者實義動詞)。一個完整的句子的結(jié)構(gòu)應
2
該是:1主語+謂語+賓語;2主語+謂語+狀語;3主語+謂語+賓語+賓語補足語等句子形式。
1)Smallportablemachineswhichgeneratenegativeirons.(錯)
Theyhaveinventedsmallportablemachineswhichgeneratenegativeirons.(正確)
2)TheyenjoyreadingclassicChineseLiterature.SuchasthepoetrybyLiBaiandDuFu.(錯)
TheyenjoyreadingclassicChineseLiterature.suchasthepoetrybyLiBaiandDuFu.(正確)
注:hence后面可以直接跟名詞而獨立成句。
(三)避免粘連句
粘連句就是指用逗號連接數(shù)個獨立的分句。
例:Anoldwomanlivedinthehouse,shesurprisedHanselandGreteltheywereeatingpartsof
herhome.(錯)
該句中有3個主語(oldwoman,she,they),三個動詞(lived,surprised,和wereeating),分句可以用句號,
分號(而不是逗號)或使用連接詞。最普通的連接詞是:and,but,so和or。連接代詞有who,which,和that,還有表
示時間連接詞:before,after,when和soon。
上句可以改為:
①Anoldwomanlivedinthehouse.ShesurprisedHanselandGretel.Theywereeatingpartsofher
home.
②AnoldwomanlivedinthehouseandshesurprisedHanselandGretelandtheywereeatingpartsofherhouse.
③TheoldwomanwholivedinthehousesurprisedHanselandGretelwhiletheywereeatingpartsofherhouse.
While和who就使句子的邏輯比②句就清楚明白得多了。
