汉译英错误举例
01. 他看上去比她聪明多了。
❌He seems to be quite cleverer than she/her.
参考答案:He seems to be rather cleverer than she/her.
fairly, quite, too都不能用来修饰形容词及副词的比较级,而用a great deal, rather, a lot, even等。
02. 他们当中没有人将乘车去。
❌Nobody of them would go by bus.
参考答案:None of them would go by bus.
everyone, someone, nobody, no one, every等一般不与of连用,every one, each, none等可以。
03. 你为什么想我们不能兑换你的钞票?
❌Why don’t you think we can change your note?
参考答案:Why do you think we can’t change your note?

04. 到上课时间了。
❌It’s time for the class.
参考答案:It’s time for class.
在It’s time for sth.句式中,sth.不能被冠词修饰,又如It’s time for sports. 到(体育)运动时间了。
05. 第一次世界大战爆发时我在美国。
❌When WWI began to break out, I was in America.
参考答案:When WWI broke out, I was in America.
break out=begin suddenly
06. 他每天早上六点半起床。
❌He gets up at half past six o’clock every morning.
参考答案:He gets up at half past six every morning.
o’clock只能用于整点。若表示几点几分,则要省去o’clock。
例句07-12为定语从句相关
07. 我永远也不会忘记在南京度过的日子。
❌I'll never forget the days when I spent in Nanjing.
参考答案:I'll never forget the days which/that I spent in Nanjing.
定语从句中的spend是及物动词,days是该定语从句的先行词,在逻辑上是spend的宾语,因此不能用关系副词when。
08. 她就是这样照顾我们的。
❌This is the way how she looked after us.
参考答案:This is the way she looked after us.
若先行词是way(方法,方式),其后的定语从句,一般不需关系词引导,若用关系词引导,也只能是that或in which,而不能是how。
09. 青年人应到边远地区工作,那里最需要他们。
❌Young people should go to work in the remote areas where need them most.
参考答案:Young people should go to work in the remote areas which need them most.
where是关系副词,不能在定语从句中作主语,只能作状语,因此要用关系代词which作定语从句的主语,若用where引导,从句应用被动语态:Young people should go to work in the remote areas where they are most needed.
10. 这是我上星期参观的钢铁厂。
❌This is the steel plant where I visited last week.
参考答案:This is the steel plant that/which I visited last week.
定语从句中的谓语动词visit是及物动词,因此需用关系代词which或that(也可省略)引导定语从句。此处which或that作visit的宾语。
11. 桌子上有本我昨天买来的书。
❌There is a book on the desk which I bought yesterday.
参考答案:On the desk there is a book which I bought yesterday.
引导定语从句的关系代词一般靠近先行词,否则容易引起误解。误句中的which容易使人认为desk是先行词,这样误句就变为“在我昨天买来的桌子上有一本书”了。
12. 这就是我们校长在会上的全部讲话。
❌This is all what our school master said at the meeting.
参考答案:This is all (that) our school master said at the meeting.
what意为the thing(s) that引导名词性从句,不能引导定语从句。误句中若去掉what就成了省略关系代词that的定语从句,若去掉all就变成了what引导的表语从句。
