(六)连词方面的错误
作文中缺少必要的连词,或错用连词的现象也比较普遍。
(误)One should improve his English,one should overcome difficulties in studies.
(正)If one wants to improve his English,he should overcome difficulties in studies.
【说明】学生在写作中往往意识不到连词的重要,不善于使用连词和连接副词来明确标示出因果关系、转折关系、递进关系等。
(七)搭配方面的错误
学生作文中用词搭配方面的错误也占有较大比例。记得在一次六级作文阅卷中,近千篇作文在表达“上海交通越来越拥挤”这个意思时,几乎没有一篇用 heavier,大多数人用的是The traffic in Shanghai is getting more and more crowded,而traffic是不能与crowded搭配的。
1.(误)However the speed of a car is much faster than that of a bicycle.
(正)However the speed of a car is much higher than that of a bicycle.
【说明】speed只能和high,low,good,top,normal,fantastic,moderate,surprising等搭配,不能与fast,quick,slow搭配。但可以这样说A car is much faster in speed than a bicycle.
2.(误)In the past the price of milk was so expensive that most families could not afford it.
(正)In the past the price of milk was so high that most families couldn’t afford it.
【说明】price只和high,low,inflated,moderate,minimum,original,popular,prevailing,published,reduced,reasonable等搭配,不能与expensive,cheap搭配,但可以说In the past,milk was so expensive that most families couldn’t afford it.
由此可见,要提高对词语搭配的驾驭能力,除了要在平时的阅读过程中多积累,还需要克服中文中诸如“速度快”、“价格贵”、“学习知识”、“人减少”等搭配的影响,避免写出look book或see book这样的笑话来。
(八)误用方面
学生作文中对词语的误用也相当普遍,误用词语不仅不能准确地表达作者的意思,而且也会闹出笑话。
1. (误)With the industrious development,there is a great need for different kinds of energy.
(正)With the industrial development,there is a great need for different kinds of energy.
2. (误)Most big cities are plagued by traffic jams which effect our daily life.
(正)Most big cities are plagued by traffic jams which affect our daily life.
【说明】以上错句都是因为对形容词的辨析不清而造成的。Industrious是“勤劳的”,“工业上的”应为industrial。effect一般用作名词,其动词形式表示“产生、实现”,而这里的意思是“影响”,应换成affect。
