Ví dụ: When I was a child, I often made paper cuttings and simple crafts. For example, I folded and cut colourful paper to make animals and decorations, and my grandmother taught me many of the designs.
× I used to make paper cuttings when I was a child, especially during art lessons at school, and I often made some simple animal and flower patterns.
✓ I used to make paper cuttings when I was a child, especially during art lessons at school, and I often made simple animal and flower patterns.
句中原文“made some simple animal and flower patterns”语法上不是错误,但在英语习惯中与前面的“often”搭配时通常省略不必要的冠词或数量词以保持简洁,因此将“some”删去更自然流畅。建议:用更简洁的表达,除非想强调数量。
× Yes I do. After I finish a trip, I would write myself a letter describing and summarizing the whole journey and my favorite moments.
✓ Yes I do. After I finish a trip, I write myself a letter describing and summarizing the whole journey and my favorite moments.
句中使用了“After I finish a trip”这样的现在时从句时,主句应使用一般现在或将来表达习惯性动作,而原文用“would”使句子显得条件或假设化,不符合说话者表示经常性行为的意图。将“would write”改为“write”以表达常规习惯。建议:表示习惯或常规动作时,用一般现在时。
× Then I would attach it to my notebook so I can look back on it later.
✓ Then I attach it to my notebook so I can look back on it later.
同上,句子描述说话者的习惯性动作,不应使用“would”导致虚拟或过去习惯的含义。改为一般现在时“attach”更恰当。
× As I observe, most people don't keep handwritten letters nowadays because younger generations mostly type messages on their laptops or phones.
✓ As I observe, most people don't keep handwritten letters nowadays because younger generations mostly type messages on their laptops or phones.
该句语法基本正确,无需修改。解释:句子时态与内容一致,使用现在时描述普遍现象是恰当的。
× Only older relatives tend to write paper letters.
✓ Only older relatives tend to write paper letters.
该句语法正确,无需修改。解释:使用“tend to”加动词原形来表达倾向,时态和结构都正确。
× I usually carry two or three pens with me when I go out, especially if I have to attend a court.
✓ I usually carry two or three pens with me when I go out, especially if I have to attend a court hearing.
原句中的“attend a court”不是地道表达,通常应说“attend a court hearing”或“go to court”。这属于搭配选择而非列出的语法类型,但更正为更自然的搭配。建议:使用固定搭配“attend a court hearing”或“go to court”。
× I like to have different colors to for taking notes and sign documents so I'm always prepared.
✓ I like to have different colours for taking notes and signing documents so I'm always prepared.
原句有两个问题:1) 多余的介词“to”应删除;2) 动词并列时应保持形式一致,前项用动名词“taking”,后项也应使用动名词“signing”,保持平行结构。建议:保持并列动词形式一致,注意不要多写介词。
× As a child I often made paper cuttings and some simple paper crafts.
✓ As a child I often made paper cuttings and simple paper crafts.
与前面类似,“some”在此句中可删去以使表达更简洁自然;时态“made”正确地表示过去常态。建议:描述过去习惯时使用“used to”或“often”与过去式,避免不必要的限定词。
× I enjoy folding and cutting colorful paper to make animals and decorations, and my grandma told me many of the designs.
✓ I enjoyed folding and cutting colourful paper to make animals and decorations, and my grandma taught me many of the designs.
句子开头使用“I enjoy”与前文“As a child”不一致,描述儿童时期的习惯应使用过去时“enjoyed”。另外,“my grandma told me many of the designs”中“told”不合适,应该用“taught”表示“教我”更准确。建议:保持时态一致(描述过去使用过去式),并使用正确动词搭配(teach someone something)。
