× When I choose them for my next generation, I will read many books about names, meaning and I will consult family members.
✓ When I choose names for the next generation, I will read many books about names and meanings, and I will consult family members.
原句中"meaning"应使用复数"meanings"来对应前面的名词复数并表示不同名字的含义;此外短语顺序不自然,且遗漏逗号分隔并列成分。建议把"choose them for my next generation"改为更自然的"choose names for the next generation",并用逗号连接并列动词短语。
× Children today names are similar to those in the past because they both reflect the appearance, acceptations and the qualities they they hoped their children will have.
✓ Children's names today are similar to those in the past because they both reflect appearance, expectations, and the qualities parents hoped their children would have.
原句存在名词所有格和复数错误:应使用"Children's names"表示“孩子们的名字”;"acceptations"不是常用词,正确为"expectations"(期望)。此外重复了"they",时态也要一致:句中谈过去的期望应使用过去式"hoped"并与"would have"搭配。建议使用所有格并修正单词拼写和时态。
× No, uh, because in, in my family, or we avoid giving the same name to different members. Uh, because when we, uh, call someone, uh, uh, it's very confusing.
✓ No, in my family we avoid giving the same name to different members because when we call someone it's very confusing.
原句重复使用填充词并且有多余的连词"or",代词和连接结构混乱。应去掉多余的语气词和重复的连词,使句子连贯。简化后用一个完整句子表达原因,注意不要以从属连词"because"开头单独成句。
× Yeah, Oh, my name has special meaning. Oh, my first name is Yali and Ex, and it expressed that my parents hoped I would grow up to be a kind and elegant person.
✓ Yes. My name has a special meaning. My first name is Yali, and it expresses that my parents hoped I would grow up to be a kind and elegant person.
原句中动词时态不一致:主语是现在的名字,应使用一般现在时"expresses"而不是过去式"expressed"。此外开头口语化的"Yeah, Oh"可改为更正式的"Yes."来使回答更清晰。建议将动词改为与主语保持时态一致的现在时。
× Are there any names that are more popular than others in China? Student: Absolutely. There are many more popular names in China, such as Changhua, Liu Wei, Uh uh, Zhangjiang, Guo and so on.
✓ Absolutely. There are many popular names in China, such as Changhua, Liu Wei, Zhangjiang, Guo, and so on.
原句中"many more popular names"结构不自然,"more"暗含比较但没有比较对象,应使用"many popular names"。另外列举时去掉口语填充"Uh uh"并在并列项间加入逗号。建议简化为正确的名词短语并删除多余的比较词。
