× When I was in primary school, I learned to not about my hometown's culture, like is food, famous people, traditions and costumes.
✓ When I was in primary school, I learned about my hometown's culture, including its food, famous people, traditions, and customs.
“learned to not about”结构不完整,因为“learn about”中的 about 后面应接名词或名词短语,不能直接接“to not”。应改为“learned about”。
× When I was in primary school, I learned to not about my hometown's culture, like is food, famous people, traditions and costumes.
✓ When I was in primary school, I learned about my hometown's culture, including its food, famous people, traditions, and customs.
这里的“is food”应为“its food”。“its”是表示所属关系的物主限定词,指代“我家乡的”;“is”是动词,不能在这里表示所属关系。
× My hometown is located in a small city called Yichang, which is in the southwestern of Hubei Province and is on the Bank of the Yangtze River.
✓ My hometown is in Yichang, a small city in the southwestern part of Hubei Province on the banks of the Yangtze River.
“in the southwestern of Hubei Province”结构不完整。“southwestern”是方位形容词,后面需要接名词,例如“part”,因此应说“in the southwestern part of Hubei Province”。
× Is a small city, but it's very beautiful and clean.
✓ It is a small city, but it is very beautiful and clean.
原句第一个分句缺少主语。描述某个地方时,应使用“It”作主语,不能只用“is”。
× Actually is a small city which is rated as 4th tier city in China.
✓ Actually, it is a small city that is rated as a fourth-tier city in China.
“Actually”后面的分句缺少主语,应补上“it”。完整句子通常需要明确的主语和谓语。
× Actually is a small city which is rated as 4th tier city in China.
✓ Actually, it is a small city that is rated as a fourth-tier city in China.
“city”是可数名词单数,前面需要冠词。这里应使用“a”;“fourth-tier”作复合形容词修饰“city”。
× It has a relatively small population and the.
✓ It has a relatively small population and a quiet atmosphere.
“and the”后没有谓语,句子没有表达完整意思。应补充完整的句子成分;示例中的“a quiet atmosphere”可与前面的内容并列。
× I like my hometown because it's food is tasty.
✓ I like my hometown because its food is tasty.
“it's”是“it is”或“it has”的缩写;此处需要表示所属关系的“its”,意思是“它的食物”。
× Second, I love is people because they are generally kind and patient.
✓ Second, I love its people because they are generally kind and patient.
“is”不能表示所属关系。这里应使用物主限定词“its”,指“家乡的人”。
× I haven't lived in another city except for my four years in university in Wuhan.
✓ I haven't lived in another city except for my four years at university in Wuhan.
表示在大学就读时,通常说“at university”。“in university”在这里不是最合适的介词搭配。
× Yes I do, the main reason I like living in Yichang is that the pace of life is relatively slower than that of big cities.
✓ Yes, I do. The main reason I like living in Yichang is that the pace of life is relatively slower than that of big cities.
原句用逗号连接了两个可以独立成句的部分,形成逗号拼接。应使用句号将它们分开,或使用合适的连词连接。
× And 2nd I like is food because the food in its own is tasty.
✓ Second, what I like is the food because the food there is tasty.
“I like is food”缺少引导主语从句的“what”,应改为“what I like is the food”。这样句子结构才完整。
× And 2nd I like is food because the food in its own is tasty.
✓ Second, what I like is the food because the food there is tasty.
“in its own”中的代词用法不正确。若想表达“那里的食物”,应使用“the food there”;“its own”不能单独表达这个意思。
× Yes, absolutely. I will continue to live in its own for the rest of my life because I have been married and I have been working in this city and my parents and relatives are all living here.
✓ Yes, absolutely. I will continue to live there for the rest of my life because I am married, I work in this city, and my parents and relatives all live here.
“its own”不能表示“那里”。此处应用“there”指代前文提到的家乡。
× Well, my hometown is situated in southwestern of Hubei province is a small city which is regarded as a fourth tier city in China.
✓ Well, my hometown is situated in the southwestern part of Hubei Province and is a small city that is regarded as a fourth-tier city in China.
原句把两个谓语结构“is situated”和“is a small city”直接连在一起,缺少连接词;此外,“in southwestern of”结构不完整,应说“in the southwestern part of”。
× First, is famous for a big water project called the Three Gorges Dam.
✓ First, it is famous for a large water project called the Three Gorges Dam.
原句缺少主语。“is famous”前应补上指代家乡的主语“it”。
× When I was in primary and the junior and Senior High School, I attended some compulsory courses called Learning about Our Hometown from which I learnt a lot about my hometown like cultures, costumes.
✓ When I was in primary, junior, and senior high school, I attended some compulsory courses called Learning about Our Hometown, from which I learnt a lot about my hometown, such as its culture and customs.
这里是在并列列举不同学段,不需要在“junior”前使用定冠词“the”。并列部分应保持形式一致。
× So young people don't.
✓ So young people don't tend to stay in my hometown.
“don't”后面缺少主要动词,句意没有表达完整。若要说明年轻人因此离开家乡,可以补上“tend to stay in my hometown”等完整谓语。
× I mean, there are not many job opportunities for young.
✓ I mean, there are not many job opportunities for young people.
“young”在这里不能直接表示“年轻人”。应使用名词短语“young people”,或使用“the young”。
