常見錯誤
-
她說話時臉紅了,因為說謊不是她的本性。
誤 She blushed as she spoke, for lying is foreign with her nature.
正 She blushed as she spoke, for lying is foreign to her nature.
析 foreign 用來表達“和…格格不入”“和…不相干”時,后面應該加介詞to,而不加 with或別的介詞。
三對外國夫婦住在三樓。誤 Three couples of foreigners live on the third floor.
正 Three foreign couples live on the third floor.
析 “三對外國夫婦”譯成three couples of foreigners不符合英語習慣說法,應該改為 three foreign couples?!耙粚γ绹驄D”是an American couple,若寫成a couple of Americans就可能是兩個美國人了。
他已定購了一輛外國造的汽車。誤 He has placed an order for a foreigner's car.
正 He has placed an order for a foreign-made car.
析 “外國制造的”應譯作foreign-made,而foreigner's是“外國人的”意思。
