[误] You can't be very careful.
[正] You can't be too careful.
[析] 此句话的含意是你如何小心也不过分。too…to的用法是"太……以至于不能作某事"。但在实际应用时也常常将后面的to省去,如:It is too expensive for me.那对我来讲是太贵了。 [误] He is good past fifty.
[正] He is well past fifty.
[析] well 作为副词用时除用于"好"之外还有"大大地、远远地",等意。往往有人对下面两句的对或错有争议;
He is well.
He is good.
其实这两句都是正确的表达法,只不过其含意不同。He is well是"他身体不错",而He is good 则为"他是个好人"。
[误] She is not as half clever as her brother.
[正] She is not half as clever as her brother.
[析] 在as…as结构中要将修饰形容词的数量词倍数及nearly, almost, exactly… 等置于第一个as之前。
[误] He is same age as Tom.
[正] He is the same age as Tom.
[析] the same…as是固定的用法,其中定冠词the是不可省也不能换成别的词的。 [误] Mother and her daughter are exactly like.
[正] Mother and her daughter are exactly alike.
* like 作为介词,其意为"像",应用于 look like, be like, sound like, 其后要加宾语。而 alike 是形容词,或副词,如: You and I think alike. The twins are dressed alike。 但 alike 仅作表语而不能用于名词前作定语。
[误] Who is taller of the two?
[正] Who is the taller of the two?
[析] 两者的比较级之前要加定冠词。
[误] I have less books than Tom.
