前此,談到動(dòng)詞形態(tài)和被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)的關(guān)系,并且指出動(dòng)詞過去分詞的重要,以及它是許多錯(cuò)誤之源。
除此之外,其他類型的錯(cuò)誤,也屢見不鮮,包括下列四種:
㈠不定式動(dòng)詞(the infinitive),如:
① An applicant was rejected, but the personnel manager who rang up with the bad news promised to help her looked for a job elsewhere.
凡在“HELP+賓語(yǔ)”后面出現(xiàn)的一定是不定式動(dòng)詞,可以帶“to ”,也可以不帶“to”,但是絕對(duì)不可以是其他形式的動(dòng)詞,因此“ looked”要改為“l(fā)ook”或“to look”。
另一個(gè)和MAKE有關(guān)的句型,也常有形態(tài)問題,如:
② The sight of the horrible animal made our blood ran cold.
③ The long distance between Singapore and China makes Singapore's businessmen considering going to nearer countries to invest.
②里的“ran”和③里的“considering”都是動(dòng)詞形態(tài)之誤,要分別改成“run”和“consider”才對(duì)。
要注意的是HELP后頭的不定式動(dòng)詞可以有“to”或不帶“to”,但MAKE后面的不定式動(dòng)詞絕對(duì)不可有“to”。
㈡過去分詞(the past participle),如
④ Like other teaching methods, group discussion can assist students in solving recognising problems.
在英語(yǔ)里,過去分詞和現(xiàn)在分詞都可以轉(zhuǎn)化為名詞修飾語(yǔ)。前者表示被動(dòng)及完成的活動(dòng);后者則表示主動(dòng)及未完成的動(dòng)作。④里的名詞“problems”是已經(jīng)認(rèn)同的,因此現(xiàn)在分詞“recognising”要改為過去分詞“recognised”才合理。
同樣的,⑤里的“describing”也要改為“described”。
⑤ The instructional techniques describing in the book have some striking features.
㈢原形動(dòng)詞,如:
⑥ Day in day out, housewives will lost contact with the outside world.
在英語(yǔ)助動(dòng)詞“do, shall, have”等或情態(tài)動(dòng)詞“can, may, must”等后面出現(xiàn)的是原形動(dòng)詞,其他形式的動(dòng)詞都不對(duì)。因此,⑥ 里的“l(fā)ost”要改為“l(fā)ose”。⑦和⑧里的“spent ”和“ entrusted”也應(yīng)為“spend”和“entrust”。
⑦ Instead of joining violent demonstrators, students should spent their time studying.
⑧ Can mothers confidently entrusted their children to any day-care centre?
㈣動(dòng)名詞,如:
⑨ Prior to analyse teaching methods, it is important for the teacher to know something about the student's learning strategies.
⑨里的“prior to”等于介詞“before”,后頭帶賓語(yǔ)。其中一種賓語(yǔ)是動(dòng)名詞或動(dòng)名詞短語(yǔ)(gerund/gerund phrase)。顯然的,原形的“analyse”要變成“analysing”。⑩里的“engage”和╆里的“to repair and restore”也非改成“engaging”和“repairing and restoring”不可: ⑩ They should concentrate on their studies instead of engage themselves in mobs. ╆ The authorities spent a lot of money to repair and restore damaged public buildings.
