Debug: 找出英文錯誤,像治癒一種陳年宿疾一樣!
Debug是每週六工商時報”世界公民weekly”最受歡迎的單元。以下七個例句是別人或自己常常會講錯的英文,請試著找出錯誤:
1.) A: What do you do? B: I’m fine.
2.) The story is real.
3.) I met one of my high school friends on my way to work.
4.) I very enjoy talking to you.
5.) I am usually going to work by car.
6.) You don't want to see it? Yes, I don’t.
7.) Do you have an agenda? Yes, I have.
Debugged(答案)
1.) A: What do you do? B: I am a salesman.
“What do you do”是問人的職業。答案直接告訴人你做什麼就好。
2.) The story is true!
real和true的區別:real強調人或事物真實的存在,而不是想像的或虛構的。true則強調符合事實,是真的,而不是假的,是相符的,而不是編造的。
【例句】
Father Christmas isn't real.聖誕老人不是真有其人。
I'm learning to skate on real ice.我在真正的冰上學溜冰。
Read through the passage first and then tell me which answer is true.先通讀一遍這篇文章,然後告訴我哪個答案是正確的。
A true friend is a real friend.忠誠的朋友才是真正的朋友。
3.) I ran into one of my high school friends on my way to work.
不小心遇見而不是約好的用”run into”。
4.) I enjoy talking to you very much.
Very雖是副詞,不能用來形容動詞,只能用來形容形容詞。
5.) I usually go to work by car.
Usually是頻率動詞,表示一種習慣,用現在式。
6.) You don't want to see it? No, I don't.
和中文不一樣,英文邏輯簡單,只要否定,就用no。肯定就用yes。
7.) Do you have an agenda? Yes, I do.
要用I have回答,後面就要把an agenda再說一遍。不然就得用助動詞代替。
