解析英语写作中的十大常见错误  一、不遥(Disagreements)   所谓不遥不光指主谓不遥,它还包括了数的不遥、时态不遥及代词不遥等。
  例:When one have money, he can do what he want to.
  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遥。
  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。
对于这一点遥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: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,不完整的句子遥可以被理解。
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: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,不能遥成句。
  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。
按一般推理遥能是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: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、词遥误用(Misuse of Parts of Speech)   词遥误用常表现为:介词当动词用;形容词当副词用;名词当动词用等。
  例: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遥。
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: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指代不遥。
  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: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遥其有限,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:The increasing use of chemical obstacles in agriculture also makes pollution.
(农业方面化学物质遥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 (不断增加的遥) 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: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: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 在数方面不遥。
  改为:Fresh water is the most important thing in the world.
