英語介詞學習常見錯誤

[誤] We gotto the top of the mountain in daybreak.

[正] We got to the top of the mountain at day break.

[析] at用於具體時刻之前,如:sunrise, midday2, noon3, sunset4, midnight6, night.

[誤] Don’t sleep at daytime7

[正] Don’t sleep in daytime.

[析] in 要用於較長的一段時間之內,如:in the morning / afternoon, 或 in the week / month / year. 或 in spring / supper /autumn / winter等等。

[誤] We visited the old man in Sunday afternoon.

[正] We visited the old man on Sunday afternoon.

[析] in the morning, in the afternoon 如果在這兩個短語中加入任何修飾詞其前面的介詞都要改爲on, 如:on a cold morning, on the morning of July 14th

[誤] He became8 a writter at his twenties

[正] He became a writter in his twenties

[析]這句話應譯爲:他在20多歲時就成了作家。在某人的一段生活時間段中要用介詞in來表示,而在具體歲數時用at來表示。

[誤] He went to New York to find a job in sixteen years old.

[正] He went to New York to find a job at sixteen.

[析] 在具體年歲前用at, 如:at the age of 12, at your age,等等。

[誤] We went to swim in the river in a very hot day.

[正] We went to swim in the river on a very hot day.

[析] 具體某一天要用介詞on, 又如:on New Year‘s Day

[誤] I’m looking forward10 to seeing you on Christmas.

[正] I’m looking for ward11 to seeing you at Christmas.

[析]在節日的當天用on,而全部節日期間用at,Christmas是聖誕節期間,一般要有兩週或更長的時間。

[誤] I haven’t see you during12 the summer holidays.

[正] I haven’t seen13 you since14 the beginning15 of the summer holidays.

[析] during表示在某一段時間之內,所以一般不與完成時搭配,如:I visited a lot of museums during the holiday. 而for表示一段時間,可以用於完成時,如:I haven‘t see you for a long time. 而through 用來表示時間時則爲“整整,全部的時間”。如:It rained through the night.而since則是表達主句動作的起始時間,一般要與完成時連用。

[誤] At entering16 the classroom, I heard the good news17.

[正] On entering the classroom, I heard the good news.

[析] On 加動名詞表示“一……就”。本句的譯文應是:我一進入教室就聽見這個好消息了。又如:on hearing… 一聽見, on arrival18 一到達就……(on表示動作的名詞)

[誤] In the beginning of the book, there are some interesting stories.

[正] At the beginning of the book, there are some interesting stories.

[析] at the begining與at the end都是指某事物的開始與結束部分,均不指時間範圍,而in the beginning 則是指開始一段時間。in the end=at last是指“最終,終於”之意。

[誤] Till20 the end of next week. I will have finished21 this work.

[正] By the end of next week. I will have finished this work.

[析] by 引起的時間狀語表示了動作的截止點,其意思爲“不遲於某一時刻將工作做完”,所以主句一般是完成時態。當然可以有將來時態,如:I‘ll be there by five o’clock.而till則表達其一動作一直持續到某一時刻,但句中的動詞一定要用持續性動詞,而瞬間的截止性動詞應用其否定句式,如:I won‘t finish this work till(until) next weekend.

[誤] He came9 to London before last weekend.

[正] He had22 come to London before last weekend.

[正] He came to London two weeks ago.

[析] before 一般要與完成時連用,而ago則與一般過去時連用。

[誤] I have studied English for three years gince I had come here.

[正] I have studied English for three years since I came here.

[析] since用來表達主句動作的開始時間,所以其引出的從句中應爲過去時,而不能用完成時態

[誤] I can help you repair24 this bike. You will get it after two hours.

[正] I can help you repair this bike. You will get it in two hours.

[析]中文經常講兩小時之後來取,兩天內會修好,而這個介詞在英文中要用in而不要用after.其原因有二,①after 多用於過去時,如:I arrived in New York. After three days, I found25 a job in the bank. ② after 加時間是表達一個不確定的時間範圍,如:after three days, 即三天之後的哪一天都可以。所以在許諾若干時間內會完成某事時,一定要用介詞in.

[誤] Three days after he died23.

[正] After three days he died.

[正] Three days later26 he died.

[析] after 與 later都可以用來表達一段時間之後,但它們所處的位置不同,after 在時間詞前,而later在時間詞後。

[誤] She hid27 herself28 after the tree.

[正] She hid herself behind the tree.

[析] after多用來表達某動作之後,所以有的語法書中稱它爲動態介詞,如:I run after him. After finishing my homework, I went to see a film. 而behind則多用於靜態事物之後。

[誤] There is a beautiful bird on the tree.

[正] There is a beautiful bird in the tree.

[析] 樹上長出的果實,樹葉要用on, 而其他外來的人、物體均要用in the tree.

[誤] Shanghai is on the east of China.

[正] Shanghai is in the east of China.

[析] 在表達地理位置時有3個介詞:in, on, to. in表示在某範圍之內; on表示與某地區接壤;to則表示不相接。如:Japan is to the east of China.

[誤] I arrived at New York on July 2nd.

[正] I arrived in New York on July 2nd.

[析] at用來表達較小的地方,而in用來表達較大的地方。at常用於at the school gate, at home, at a bus stop, at the station, at the cinema, at a small village.

[誤] He lived in No. 3 Beijing Road.

[正] He lived at No. 3 Beijing Road.

[析] 在門牌號碼前要用at, 並要注意它的慣用法:at the end of the street, at the foot of the mountain, at the top of the page.

[誤] There is a colour TV set5 at the corner of the hall.

[正] There is a colour TV set in the corner of the hall.

[析] 在屋內的角落應用in,而牆的外角用at,如:There is a tree at the corner of the street.

[誤] This weekend I’ll stay in Uncle Wang’s.

[正] This weekend I’ll stay at Uncle Wang’s.

[析] 要注意英文的特殊表達法,如:at a tailor’s shop (裁縫店)=at a tailor’s, at the doctor’s (去看病) at the bookseller’s (在書店) at uncle Wang’s (在王叔叔家)

[誤] Do you know there is some good news on today’s newspaper?

[正] Do you know there is some good news in today’s newspaper?

[析] 在報紙上的新聞要用in, 而在具體某一版上,或某一頁上則要用on.

[誤] The school will begin on September 1st.

[正] School will begin on September 1st.

[析]這裏的school應看作不可數名詞泛指學校的課程,即開學之意。要注意,有些活動場所當表達正在從事該種活動時不要加冠詞,如:at table (吃飯), When I came to Tom’s home, they were at table. 還有: at desk (學習),at work (工作) at school (上學), in hospital (住醫院) at church29 作禮拜如加上定冠詞則另有他意,如:at the school 即在學校工作或辦事,in the hospital 即在醫院工作或去看望病人。

[誤] In my way to the station, I bought a newspaper to kill30 time.

[正] On my way to the station, I bought a newspaper to kill time.

[析]譯文爲:在去車站的路上我買了份報紙,爲的是消磨時光“在……的路上”應用on one‘s way…。而 in the way 有擋道之意,如:Please move the chair it is in the way.

[誤] Look, the door is open, Maybe someone31 broke32 into.

[正] Look, the door is open, Maybe someone broke in.

[正] Look, the door is open, Maybe someone broke into the office.

[析] in是表達一個靜止狀態,在與break連用時其後不加介詞賓語,而into則是動態介詞,與break連用時要加介詞賓語。

[誤] I’ll leave Beijing to Shanghai tomorrow.

[正] I’ll leave Beijing for Shanghai.

[正] I’ll leave for Shanghai.

[析] leave for 是離開某地去某處的固定搭配,不可將for改爲別的介詞。這樣的搭配還有:start for 動身前往某處,set out for, sail34 for.

[誤] I’m sorry. I have to get out the bus at next stop.

[正] I’m sorry. I have to get out of the bus at next stop.

[析] get in, 與 get out是兩個相反的詞組。get in 爲上車,而get out爲下車,但語法家認爲這裏的in與out爲副詞,所以其後不能接名詞,我們可以講We’d better get in. 或We’d better get out. 還有一組詞組有關上下車:get on/off33(a train, a ship, a struck35) get into/out of (a car, taxi…)

[誤] Be careful The temperature36 of the water is ninety degrees37 over zero38.

[正] Be careful. The temperature of the water is ninety degrees above zero.

[析] over 與 above 在作爲比某物高的意思時有時可以互換。但在垂直方向上的高矮時,即正上方時則要用above.而泛指上方時用over.

[誤] There is an old stone bridge39 above the river.

[正] There is an old stone bridge over the river.

[析] over還有一意爲“跨越,橫跨”。

[誤] The Dead40 Sea is under the sea level41.

[正] The Dead Sea is below42 the sea level.

[析]在垂直下方要用below.也就是講above與below互爲反意詞,over與under也是反意詞。

[誤] There is a big tree in the front of the house.

[正] There is a big tree in front of the house.

[析] in front of 是在物體外部的前面,而in the front of 是在物體內部的前面,如:The driver sits in the front of the bus.

[誤] It took43 them two days to walk across44 the forest45.

[正] It took them two days to walk through the forest.

[析] across 作爲介詞有兩個主要意思:① 橫過,如:I want to walk across the street.② 對面,如:There is a post office across the street,而through 多用於三維空間中的穿越。across則多用於平面上的橫過。如:The little girl ran46 across the room to meet her mother.

[誤] The sun sets47 toward48 the west.

[正] The sun sets in the west.

[析] towards也可用作toward,它主要表達朝向某方向運動,但不一定到達,如:He ran toward(s) the mountain.而在表示方位east, west, north, south 時,其前面要用in.要注意的是這4個詞可以用作副詞,如:I went south. 也可用作名詞,如:I went to the south.也可用作形容詞,如:I went to the south part50 of China.

[誤] Do you have no other clothes except51 those?

[正] Do you have no other clothes besides52 those?

[析] beside 是“在……旁邊”,如:The students stood53 beside their teachers.而besides是“除……之外,不僅……而且……,除了……以外還有……”,如:I studied English besides French54, when I was55 in college56. 而except 則是從同一類物體中去掉某一部分,如:I come here every day except Sunday. 而except for 是指去掉不同種類的事物,如:The room is clean except for two chairs. 而except that則要加從句。

[誤] Can I write the exam57 paper with ink?

[正] Can I write the exam paper with a pen?

[正] Can I write the exam paper in ink?

[析] with後要加拿得起來放得下的工具,而墨水、顏料等原料則要用in.

[誤] I’m earlier today. I came here by his car.

[正] I’m earlier today. I came here in his car.

[析]在交通工具前加介詞by,但不能再有任何指示代詞或冠詞,否則要改換相應的介詞。by taxi=in a taxi

by train=in a train

by bicycle=on a bicycle

by ship=on a ship

by boat=in a boat

by bus=on a bus

by plane=on a plane

by air 空運

by land58 陸運

[析] have interest in是在某方面有興趣。

[誤] I didn’t do my homework, so the teacher was angry to me.

[析] be angry with其後接人,而be angry at其後接事。如:He was angry at what she said69.

[誤] He was good for skating.

[正] He was good at skating.

[析] be good at 爲“擅長某事”,而be good for somebody爲對某人很好。

[誤] It was good to you to help my little boy.

[正] It was good of you to help my little boy.

[析] 這句話應譯爲:你真太好了,幫助了我的小孩。而be good to somebody70 是對某人態度好。如:Her mother is good to everyone.
