× For example, when I try to the vocabulary for exams, I often forget words quickly, so I have to rely on repetition and techniques and to help me remember.
✓ For example, when I try to learn the vocabulary for exams, I often forget words quickly, so I have to rely on repetition and techniques to help me remember.
原句中“try to the vocabulary”缺少动词,应使用“try to learn”或“try learning”;此外“and to help me remember”有多余连词“and”,正确结构为“techniques to help me remember”。建议在使用“try to”后接动词不定式或用动名词结构如“try learning”。
× Due to my relatively poor memory, I always write down the important events in my calendar, so till now I haven't forgotten anything important.
✓ Due to my relatively poor memory, I always write down important events in my calendar, so up to now I haven't forgotten anything important.
原句“till now”在此语境下更常用表达为“up to now”或“so far”;另外“the important events”中定冠词“the”不必要,使用复数泛指时去掉“the”更自然。建议使用固定短语“up to now/so far”以及在泛指名词前不加定冠词。
× As a lawyer, I need to keep track of many important details, especially cold dates for each case, so missing a hearing could seriously harm my clients.
✓ As a lawyer, I need to keep track of many important details, especially court dates for each case, so missing a hearing could seriously harm my clients.
原句“cold dates”是错误词语,应为“court dates”(开庭日期)。这是词汇选择错误,属于介词/用词不当范畴。建议记住固定搭配“court date”。
× So I rely on a shared calendar or reminders to make sure I attend every court on time.
✓ So I rely on a shared calendar or reminders to make sure I attend every court hearing on time.
原句“attend every court”搭配不当,英语中应说“attend a court hearing”或“attend court”而不加“every court”。为保持清晰,改为“every court hearing”或“attend court on time”。建议学习常用搭配“attend court/hearing”。
× For example, I would add meetings or court days to the calendar and create a reminder one day before and another one hour before so I never miss him.
✓ For example, I would add meetings or court dates to the calendar and create a reminder one day before and another one hour before so I never miss them.
原句使用代词“him”指代“meetings or court days”,应使用复数代词“them”。这是代词与先行词在人称和数上一致的问题。建议代词要与所指名词在数和人称上一致,复数名词用“them”。
