關(guān)鍵詞:
Low-hanging fruit
容易改的小錯誤
英語有個短語:
Low-hanging fruit: 容易摘到的果子, 形容最容易得到的東西
These easily fixable mistakes are low-hanging fruit. 最容易改正的錯誤就可以稱之為最容易摘到的果子
錯誤1: For many times
很多人常常把"for"放在“times”前面。
大家記住,不管是1 time, 2 times, many times, 前面加for, 都是錯的哦!
I've been here for ten times.
I've gone there for three times.
I've been to America for five times.
正確用法:直接用多少次,不要介詞for。
I've been here many times. 我來過這里很多次了。
I've only been here once: 我這里只來過一次。
I've seen this movie 5 times: 這個電影我看過5遍了。
注意:如果是具體的時間長度,不是times, 還是需要for的。
I've been in China for 5 years: 我來中國5年了。
最容易改正的英語錯誤!
錯誤2: Going to there
Coming to here
說到目的地,記住下面這四個詞前面不能加to:
Here
There
Home
Downtown
錯誤例句:
I'm going to there tomorrow.
I'm coming to here.
I'm going to downtown for shopping.
要改正,很容易!記住這4個詞不加to就行啦!
I'm going home.
I'm going downtown.
錯誤3: 混淆since和from
說到時間跨度、從什么時候開始,很多朋友會把since和from用反。
大家只要記住一個簡單小規(guī)律,就能改正這個錯誤:
1.Since: 已經(jīng)開始了,從以前到現(xiàn)在
I've been living in China since 2010. 我從2010年開始就住在中國。
I've been learning English since elementary school. 從小學(xué)開始,我就開始學(xué)英語了。
2.From: 尚未開始、即將開始,從未來到更未來
From now on: 從現(xiàn)在開始
From this point on:從此刻開始
看一下對比:
From next week, you can't smoke in any indoor spaces. 從下個星期開始,你不能在室內(nèi)吸煙。
You can't smoke in any indoor speces in Shanghai since next week.
