英語介詞學(xué)習(xí)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用于具體時刻之前,如:sunrise, midday2, noon3, sunset4, midnight6, night.
[誤] Don’t sleep at daytime7
[正] Don’t sleep in daytime.
[析] in 要用于較長的一段時間之內(nèi),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為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(yīng)譯為: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(shù)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(jié)日的當(dāng)天用on,而全部節(jié)日期間用at,Christmas是圣誕節(jié)期間,一般要有兩周或更長的時間。
[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(nèi),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,可以用于完成時,如:I haven‘t see you for a long time. 而through 用來表示時間時則為“整整,全部的時間”。如:It rained through the night.而since則是表達(dá)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(yīng)是:我一進(jìn)入教室就聽見這個好消息了。又如:on hearing… 一聽見, on arrival18 一到達(dá)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(jié)束部分,均不指時間范圍,而in the beginning 則是指開始一段時間。in the end=at last是指“最終,終于”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,其意思為“不遲于某一時刻將工作做完”,所以主句一般是完成時態(tài)。當(dāng)然可以有將來時態(tài),如:I‘ll be there by five o’clock.而till則表達(dá)其一動作一直持續(xù)到某一時刻,但句中的動詞一定要用持續(xù)性動詞,而瞬間的截止性動詞應(yīng)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(dá)主句動作的開始時間,所以其引出的從句中應(yīng)為過去時,而不能用完成時態(tài)
[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(jīng)常講兩小時之后來取,兩天內(nèi)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 多用于過去時,如:I arrived in New York. After three days, I found25 a job in the bank. ② after 加時間是表達(dá)一個不確定的時間范圍,如:after three days, 即三天之后的哪一天都可以。所以在許諾若干時間內(nèi)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(dá)一段時間之后,但它們所處的位置不同,after 在時間詞前,而later在時間詞后。
[誤] She hid27 herself28 after the tree.
[正] She hid herself behind the tree.
[析] after多用來表達(dá)某動作之后,所以有的語法書中稱它為動態(tài)介詞,如:I run after him. After finishing my homework, I went to see a film. 而behind則多用于靜態(tài)事物之后。
[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.

[析] 在表達(dá)地理位置時有3個介詞:in, on, to. in表示在某范圍之內(nèi); on表示與某地區(qū)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(dá)較小的地方,而in用來表達(dá)較大的地方。at常用于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, 并要注意它的慣用法: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(nèi)的角落應(yīng)用in,而墻的外角用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(dá)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]這里的school應(yīng)看作不可數(shù)名詞泛指學(xué)校的課程,即開學(xué)之意。要注意,有些活動場所當(dāng)表達(dá)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(xué)習(xí)),at work (工作) at school (上學(xué)), in hospital (住醫(yī)院) at church29 作禮拜如加上定冠詞則另有他意,如:at the school 即在學(xué)校工作或辦事,in the hospital 即在醫(yī)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]譯文為:在去車站的路上我買了份報紙,為的是消磨時光“在……的路上”應(yīng)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(dá)一個靜止?fàn)顟B(tài),在與break連用時其后不加介詞賓語,而into則是動態(tài)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改為別的介詞。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 為上車,而get out為下車,但語法家認(rèn)為這里的in與out為副詞,所以其后不能接名詞,我們可以講We’d better get in. 或We’d better get out. 還有一組詞組有關(guān)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 在作為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還有一意為“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互為反意詞,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(nèi)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 作為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 多用于三維空間中的穿越。across則多用于平面上的橫過。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(dá)朝向某方向運(yùn)動,但不一定到達(dá),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后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(yīng)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

[析] be good at 為“擅長某事”,而be good for somebody為對某人很好。
[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(yīng)譯為:你真太好了,幫助了我的小孩。而be good to somebody70 是對某人態(tài)度好。如:Her mother is good to everyone.
