    分析
    沒有冰箱,但有有線電視。
    常見錯(cuò)誤及點(diǎn)評(píng)
    常見錯(cuò)誤:It doesn't supply the refrigerator. It just supply the TV and it also supply the cable TV.
    supply: 這里不應(yīng)該用supply。Supply的主語應(yīng)是人或商店,而不能使apartment。例如:
    That shop doesn't supply milk. 那家商店不賣牛奶。
    另外,supply和第三人稱連用時(shí),要使用其相應(yīng)的第三人稱單數(shù)形式。例如:
    He also supplies cookies to his friends. 他還給他的朋友們準(zhǔn)備了甜品。
    參考答案:It doesn't have a refrigerator. It just has a TV, which has cable.   
    有。你可以在那兒盡情享受。沒問題。
    常見錯(cuò)誤及點(diǎn)評(píng)
    常見錯(cuò)誤:Yes it supply the patio. You can enjoy your life in the patio No problem.
    You can enjoy your life in the patio: “You can enjoy your life in the patio”應(yīng)改為”u can have a lot of fun on the patio.”。這里的意思是說“在院子里也是很好玩的”;enjoy your life所暗含的意思是“(在某個(gè)地方或是以某種方式)盡享天年”,但一個(gè)人不會(huì)“一輩子”都呆在院子里?!眛o have a lot of fun” 才表示做某事很開心。
    參考答案:Yes, it has a patio. You can have a lot of fun on the patio. No problem.   
    再有,這間房子剛剛翻修過,很干凈的。
    常見錯(cuò)誤及點(diǎn)評(píng)
    常見錯(cuò)誤:Another thing I would tell you is about it is very clean because this apartment was renovated before.
    I would tell you is about it: 應(yīng)去掉I would tell you is about it 中的it。常用的表達(dá)為:“I would like to tell you that the patio……”或“I want to tell you about the patio. It is ……”
    renovated before:這里的renovated before 表意不明。Renovate應(yīng)和表具體的時(shí)間短語(像prior和after引導(dǎo)的短語)連用。例如:
    The bathroom was renovated five days ago. 這個(gè)衛(wèi)生間十五天前裝修的。
    參考答案:Another thing I would mention is that it is very clean, as the apartment was recently renovated.
    would mention : I would mention相當(dāng)于I want to say to you 或I want to bring something to your attention。例如:
    A:I would mention that there is going to be snow on Saturday. 想說的是星期六會(huì)下雪。
    B:Ok, I will tell the others then. 好的,我會(huì)告訴大家的。
    A:Yes, don't forget. 別忘了。
    B:No problem. 問題。
