會考英語常見錯誤B系列

［誤］ Please bring this dictionary to Mr Brown.?

［正］ Please take this dictionary to Mr Brown.?

［誤］ Next time， please take your little sister here.?

［正］ Next time， please bring your little sister here.?

［析］ 英語中bring是帶來，而take是帶走.還有一個詞fetch， 表示到某處去把某物取、接回來.如：Please fetch the doctor at once.?business ?

［誤］ My father went to Shanghai for business.?

［正］ My father went to Shanghai on business.?

［析］ on business出差?busy ?

［誤］ The students were very busy to prepare for the exam.?

［正］ The students were very busy preparing for the exam.?

［析］ be busy doing something為忙於作某事?

［誤］ The students were busy for the exam.?

［正］ The students were busy with the exam.?

［析］ busy直接接名詞時應用with.?but ?

［誤］ He couldnt help but realizing that he was wrong.?

［正］ He couldnt help but realize that he was wrong.?

［誤］ She couldnt help to cry when she saw her mother.?

［正］ She couldnt help crying when she saw her mother.?

［析］ couldnt help其後應接動名詞，表示情不自禁的`動作，但couldnt help but後面要加動詞原形即省to的不定式，所以前一句應譯為他才真正認識到他錯了。
