英文常見病句300句精選十則二十

　　英文病句急診室300句，分析在口語(yǔ)和寫作中容易犯的英語(yǔ)錯(cuò)誤，含有正確使用方法及解析。

　　1. The US government is based on the principle of check and balance.(x)

　　The US government is based on the principle of checks and balances.(√)

　　checks and balances是指行政、立法和司法機(jī)關(guān)的互相制衡，用復(fù)數(shù)形式。

　　2. The importance of a balance diet cannot be overemphasized.(x)

　　The importance of a balanced diet cannot be overemphasized. (√)

　　balanced是形容詞，常用來修飾名詞，如:a balanced budget即指“平衡的預(yù)算”。

　　3. The ban is likely to be cancelled at the end of the year. (x)

　　The ban is likely to be lifted at the end of the year. (√)

　　impose / lift a ban (on sth)是(針對(duì)某件事情)“頒布懈除禁令”的固定說法。

　　4. The company has declared bankrupt. (x)

　　The company has declared bankruptcy.(√)

　　bankrupt通常作形容詞，如:go bankrupt就是“破產(chǎn)”的意思。bankrupt作名詞時(shí)，意為“破產(chǎn)人士”，是可數(shù)名詞，如:As a bankrupt, I am unable to pay the debts.(淪為破產(chǎn)人士，我無力償債。)“宣告破產(chǎn)”須用名詞形式 bankruptcy 來作 declare的賓語(yǔ)。

　　5. My son was admitted to a bar at the age of 22. (x)

　　My son was admitted to the bar at the age of 22. (√)

　　be admitted to a bar可以解釋為“獲準(zhǔn)進(jìn)入一家酒吧”。the bar是指“律師業(yè)”，所以be admitted to the bar=become a lawyer，即“成為律師”之意。

　　6. He is so drunk that he can bare stand. (x)

　　He is so drunk that he can barely stand. (√)

　　bare是形容詞。意為“光禿禿的”或“沒有遮蔽的”，如:The baseball landed on his bare head.(那顆棒球掉落在他光禿禿的頭上。)barely=hardly=scarcely, 意為“幾乎不”，是副詞，因此能夠修飾動(dòng)詞。

　　7. John made a fortune and married a beautiful woman in a bargain.(x)

　　John made a fortune and married a beautiful woman in the bargain. (√)

　　in / into the bargain=in addition，表“除此之外”的意思。另外，bargain也表“廉價(jià)品”，如:Many bargain hunters went to the computer fair.(許多尋找便宜貨的人去逛計(jì)算機(jī)展了。)

　　8. Our subsidiary comrany is based on Malaysia.(x)

　　Our subsidiary company is based in Malaysia. (√)

　　be based on是“根據(jù)……”或“以……為基礎(chǔ)”的意思，如The movie is based on a best-seller.(這部電影是根據(jù)一本暢銷書改編的。) be based in + 地方，是“設(shè)立于某地”的意思。

　　9. Irene is learning the basic of computer programming. (x)

　　Irene is teaming the basics of computer programming.(√)

　　basic是形容詞，意為“基本的”，不能充當(dāng)名詞使用。the basics(恒用復(fù)數(shù))才是名詞的正確用法。所以the basics of sth=the basic knowledge / fact of sth.

　　10. They are all employed on a full-time base.(x)

　　They are all employed on a full-time basis. (√)

　　base作名詞時(shí)，專指具體(可見)的基礎(chǔ)，像擺放東西的“底座”或“軍事基地”，如:The statue is placed on a solid base.(這尊雕像被安放在一個(gè)穩(wěn)固的底座上。) basis專指抽象的基礎(chǔ)，如:on a daily/weekly/monthly / part-time basis是指“按天周/月計(jì)算”或“以兼職的方式”。
