四六级英语作文常见错误与分析

作者:admin      评论(0)      阅读(66)      分类:英语写作
下面我们对一些在英语写作中典型的病句实例逐一加以剖析.
 
一. 不一致(Disagreements)
所谓不一致不光指主谓不一致,它还包括了数的不一致 时态不一致及代词不一 致等.
例1. When one have money ,he can do what he want to .
(人一旦有了钱,他就能想干什么就干什么.)
剖析:one是单数第三人称,因而本句的have应改为has ;同理,want应改为wants.本句是典型的主谓不一致.
改为: Once one has money ,he can do what he wants (to do)
 

二. 修饰语错位(Misplaced Modifiers)
英语与汉语不同,同一个修饰语置于句子不同的位置,句子的含义可能引起变化.对于这一点中国学生往往没有引起足够的重视,因而造成了不必要的误解.例1. I believe I can do it well and I will better know the world outside the campus.
       剖析:better位置不当,应置于句末.
 

三. 句子不完整(Sentence Fragments)
在口语中,交际双方可借助手势语气上下文等,不完整的句子完全可以被理解.可是书面语就不同了,句子结构不完整会令意思表达不清,这种情况常常发生在主句写完以后,笔者又想加些补充说明时发生.
例1. There are many ways to know the society. For example by TV ,radio ,newspaper and so on .
       剖析:本句后半部分"for example by TV ,radio ,newspaper and so on .”不是一个完整的句子,仅为一些不连贯的词语,不能独立成句.
改为:There are many ways to know society ,for example ,by TV ,radio ,and newspaper.
 

四. 悬垂修饰语(Dangling Modifiers)
所谓悬垂修饰语是指句首的短语与后面句子的逻辑关系混乱不清.例如:At the age of ten, my grandfather died. 这句中"at the age of ten"只点出十岁时,但没有说明” 谁”十岁时.按一般推理不可能是my grandfather, 如果我们把这个悬垂修饰语改明确一点,全句就不那么费解了.
改为:
When I was ten, my grandfather died.
例1. To do well in college, good grades are essential.
剖析:句中不定式短语 “to do well in college” 的逻辑主语不清楚.
改为:
To do well in college, a student needs good grades.
 

五. 词性误用(Misuse of Parts of Speech)
“词性误用”常表现为:介词当动词用;形容词当副词用;名词当动词用等.
例1. None can negative the importance of money.
剖析:negative 系形容词,误作动词。
改为:
None can deny the importance of money.
 

六. 指代不清(Ambiguous Reference of Pronouns)
指代不清主要讲的是代词与被指代的人或物关系不清,或者先后所用的代词不一致。试看下面这一句:
Mary was friendly to my sister because she wanted her to be her bridesmaid.
(玛丽和我姐姐很要好,因为她要她做她的伴娘。)
读完上面这一句话,读者无法明确地判断两位姑娘中谁将结婚,谁将当伴娘。如果我们把易于引起误解的代词的所指对象加以明确,意思就一目了然了。这个句子可改为:
Mary was friendly to my sister because she wanted my sister to be her bridesmaid.
例1. And we can also know the society by serving it yourself.
       剖析:句中人称代词we 和反身代词yourself指代不一致。改为:
        We can also know society by serving it ourselves.
 

七. 不间断句子(Run-on Sentences)
什么叫run-on sentence?请看下面的例句。
例1. There are many ways we get to know the outside world.  
剖析:这个句子包含了两层完整的意思:“There are many ways.” 以及“We get to know the outside world.”。简单地把它们连在一起就不妥当了。
改为:
There are many ways for us to learn about the outside world. 或:
There are many ways through which we can become acquainted with the outside
world
 

八. 措词毛病(Troubles in Diction)
Diction 是指在特定的句子中如何适当地选用词语的问题,囿于教学时间紧迫,教师平时在这方面花的时间往往极其有限,影响了学生在写作中没有养成良好的推敲,斟酌的习惯。他们往往随心所欲,拿来就用。所以作文中用词不当的错误比比皆是。
例1. The increasing use of chemical obstacles in agriculture also makes pollution.
(农业方面化学物质使用的不断增加也造成了污染。)
剖析:显然,考生把obstacles“障碍”,“障碍物”误作substance“物质”了。另外“the increasing use (不断增加的使用)” 应改为“abusive use (滥用)”。
改为:
The abusive use of chemical substances in agriculture also causes/leads to pollution.
 

九. 累赘(Redundancy)
言以简洁为贵。写句子没有一个多余的词;写段落没有一个无必要的句子。能用单词的不用词组;能用词组的不用从句或句子。如:
In spite of the fact that he is lazy, I like him.
本句的“the fact that he is lazy”系同谓语从句,我们按照上述“能用词组的不用从句”可以改为:In spite of his laziness, I  like him.
例1. For the people who are diligent and kind, money is just the thing to be used to buy the thing they need.
       剖析:整个句子可以大大简化。
       改为:
       Diligent, caring people use money only to buy what they need.
 

十. 不连贯(Incoherence)
       不连贯是指一个句子前言不对后语,或是结构上不畅通。这也是考生常犯的毛病。
例1. The fresh water, it is the most important things of the earth.                              
剖析:The fresh water 与逗号后的it 不连贯。It 与things 在数方面不一致。
改为:
Fresh water is the most important thing in the world.
 

十一. 综合性语言错误(Comprehensive Misusage)
所谓“综合性语言错误”,是指除了上述十种错误以外,还有诸如时态,语态,标点符号,大小写等方面的错误。
例1.Today, Money to everybody is very importance, our’s eat, cloth, live, go etc.

教你如何正确英语发音

作者:admin      评论(0)      阅读(55)      分类:巧学英语
                     提高发音正确的方法

1、 并不需要专门去看什么《英语发音入门》之类的书,你会感到厌烦的,这类书说的东西你早就知道了,你不知道的在这类书里找不到的。

2、 也不需要刻意去记什么发音规则,虽然英语发音有它内在的很强的规律,但这个规律不是靠死记起来的,即使你把所有的发音规则都记住,你也会茫然的,也不能像我说的那样见到任何一个陌生的单词都能准确读出它的音的,因为特例实在太多。英语内在的发音规律是靠体会的,在以后不断的学习过程中你会发现,即使是所谓的特例,即游离于通常的发音规律之外的单词,也是有其规律的。

3、 在练习听力的过程中纠正发音。这是提高发音正确的最重要的途径。当你在听的时候,找个特别吸引你注意的单词,停下来琢磨一下,跟着重复一下,分解一下这个单词里面有哪些音素,注意一下每一个别人是怎样发音的,看看跟自己的发音差别在哪里。经常这么做,你的发音自然就会提高的。

4、 专注于一个国家的发音。如果你想学习美音,就先别理会美音跟英音有什么差别,跟澳大利亚音有什么区别,跟加拿大音有什么区别。你练好你的美音就够了。口音而已,当你自如的说一口美音,再来说英音的时候,只不过是口音的问题,你会自然而然知道它们之间差别的规律的。

5、 Learning English can be fun and should not be limited in only one way.不要认为我怂恿大家去偷懒,只是说,在看电影和听歌曲时注意一下。关于电影已经说过了,略提一下,把你在看电影时听到的片言只语默想一下或者出声复述一下,自己纠正一下。电影里的发音可是最纯正的呢。我更愿意大家在听英文歌曲下点功夫。英文歌曲老实说能够给你的好处不多,最重要的是在发音方面能够帮助你。找一些发音清晰响亮的歌听,把听到的片言只语自己纠正自己。因为歌曲的唱腔都是满怀感情的,你也需要满怀感情的发出自己听到的单词。歌曲的发音有时是特别的,然而却是异常准确的,也跟着特别的复述吧,你的发音已经提高了。

6、 多查字典。虽然语音是听来的,不是读来的,可是勤查字典可以让你发现英语内在的发音规律。可不是那些没什么用的一般性发音规则呢。而是让你见到什么就说什么的发音规律。这个可不是一蹴而就的事情,但是持之以恒,你会找到效果的。见到自己不sure的读音,查查字典吧。嫌麻烦的话,查金山词霸也行的。

7、 找一句句子,把你实际听到的音记录下来,而不是你想当然的用你自己的发音规则想出来的发音,是真正的实际的发音。是不是跟本来“应该”的发音很不同呢?可是这才是外国人实际的发音。

8、 注意一下语调。我有个为阿拉伯人作翻译的同学,她的英语是一瀑平川,波澜不惊的,也不换气,我是深感佩服的,可是不行。像我们读汉语一样,用心感受一下句子,给一点感情吧。


注意的事项

1、 字典的注音不是很准确的。注音让你知道这个单词是发这个音的,但不能告诉你怎样发音。要靠自己的发音实践补充这个不足。还有是查什么字典的问题。在此不推荐国内的字典。这没有什么好解释的,学美语的用Webster的字典或Random的吧。

2、 国际音标并不准确。这是真的,对美国英语来说更是如此。比较准确的音标是Webster的,即韦氏音标,或者KK音标,个人而言,我更喜欢韦氏音标,这是能够比较好反映美国人的实际发音的。

3、 初学音标并不需要一定准确无比。记得就是了,你会在以后慢慢把自己的音纠正的,很多人在学音标时就泄气了,那就先放放,学写能让你兴奋的其他东西吧。我在初学日语时,只用一天就不再理会日语的假名发音问题了。虽然日语的发音比英语的简单得多。

4、 个别的东西:

美音hot, pot, mop里面的[o]更像是hard, laugh中的短的[a];

going to会变成gonna;

want to 会变成wanna;

him等等前面的h通常不发音,meet him会读成meedim;

congradulate等等后面的t连读时很多时候是发d音,如上面的meedim;

What are you doing?实际可能是Wha tu doing?

You更多是读轻音ye,类似的your也有轻读的,其实代词一般都可以轻读;

And会是轻读的en,或者就省略成轻读的a;

Military, secretary, 后面的ary美语音标是marry的[eri];相应的ory经常是读重音的。

美语的half等等中间的音可能都成hat, mat等等中间的音。

可以连读的就连读。
