英文的陷阱多半來自於中文思考,一個字、一個字照著翻。要不落入陷阱最好的方式,就是不斷地在陷阱裡打滾,或者讓曾經被陷阱困住的人告訴你,哪些是陷阱,以下是常見的例子:
1、他很驚訝地看地看著老闆。
陷阱:He looked at the boss and felt surprised.
He looked at the boss in surprise.
2、請用英文寫下一段你對這份工作的等待。
陷阱:Please use English to write a paragraph about your expectation from this job.
Please write a paragraph in English about your expectation from this job.
3、我讀過许多你的作品,但沒料到你這麼年輕。
陷阱:I have read a lot of your books but I didn't think you could be so young.
After having read a lot of your books, I expected that you would be older.
4、這些畫讓我回憶起我的童年。
陷阱:The sight of these pictures made me remember my own childhood.
Seeing these pictures reminded me of my own childhood.
5、別理她。
陷阱:Don't pay attention to her.
Leave her alone.
6、我在大學裡學到了許多知識。
陷阱:I get a lot of knowledge in the university.
I learned a lot in university.
7、她正在讀書。
陷阱:She is reading a book.
She is reading.
8、我碰到了良多困難。
陷阱:I am encountering many difficulties.
I am having a few problems / lots of problems.
9、走快點,不然我們會遲到的。
陷阱:Please hurry to walk or we'll be late.
Please hurry up or we'll be late.
10、她由嫉妒轉向生氣,英文。
陷阱:She was so jealous that she became angry
Jealousy drove her to anger.
其實道地的英文很簡單,用中文字逐一照翻出來的英文,文法常出錯而且句子反而複雜。改掉這個習慣,你的英文程度將更上一層樓!
