常用错的21组英文短语(21 Common Phrases That You’re Saying Wrong)
1: Nip it in the bud 扼杀在萌芽中
例句:We should nip it in the bud before it gets any worse.(我们应该在事态恶化前就将其扼杀在萌芽期。)
2: I couldn’t care less 根本不在乎 例句:I couldn't care less if I ever see that man again; he treated us all so poorly.
(我不在乎再见不见到那个人,他对我们很不好。)
明明是想表达不能在乎得更少,如果少说了个not,就变成了“至少有一点儿在乎 ”,气势一下子就没了。 3: One and the same 完全一回事 One in the same这个短语没有意义
4: You’ve got another think coming 你就大错特错了
一般使用时的完整语句是:If that’s what you think, you’ve got another think coming.如果你这样想,那就大错特错了。但因为太多人用错,You’ve got another thing coming也变得可行。
5: Each one worse than the last 一个不如一个 除非你能预测未来,不然你怎么知道当前这个要比下一个差呢,因此the next的说法是逻辑不通的。 6: By accident 偶然地
低级介词错误。On purpose(故意地)是合理的,但on accident就是个尴尬的错误。
7: Statute of limitations 诉讼时效
Statute(法规)错写成了statue(雕像),错句毫无意义 8: For all intents and purposes 总而言之 不管你的目的再intensive(强烈),这个短语也是错误的。另一个错误用法是把for写成了with。
9: He did good 他做了好事; He did well 他做得好
这两种说法都是可以的,但意义有差异。很多人认为good和well是可以通用互换的。但事实并非如此,一般情况下,well是副词,用来修饰动词,而good则是形容词,修饰名词。 10: Exact revenge 报仇
Extract是“提取、带走”的意思,而exact onto something则是“施展、给予”。Extract revenge的意思是把某人的报仇带走,意思不通。 11: give leeway 余留空间或自由 12: Ask 询问、要求 最常见的拼写错误。 13: Espresso 意式浓咖啡 14: Memento纪念品
15: Regardless 不管、无论 16: Conversing 谈话
Conversation是名词形式,conversing则谈话的正在进行时,而人们常常错误地用成conversating这个不伦不类的表达。 17: Scot free 免于责罚
18: 180 degree change 180度大转变 这个口误在中文中也常常出现,但360度大转变等于又转了回来,毫无变化。 19: Home in 接近
To home in on something是正在接近某事物,例如:The taxman is homing in on Amsterdam's thriving sex industry.(荷兰税务部门表示,将对阿姆斯特丹繁荣的性服务业征税。)
hone是提高或改善的意思,例如:hone your speaking skills(提升你的说话
技巧)。
20: 正:Brothers in law 姐夫/妹夫的复数形式
表负数形式的“-s”应该是加在brother后,而不是law后面。复合名词变复数可参考以下规律:
1.以不可数名词结尾的复合名词无复数形式。 如:homework, newspaper等。
2.以man或woman为前缀的名词变复数时,前后两个名词都变成复数。 如:woman doctor→women doctors, man waiter→men waiters。
3. 以两个名词构成的复合名词(前面的名词为man或woman除外),一般把后面的名词变复数。
如:boy friend→boy friends, paper bag→paper bags。
4. 以“可数名词+介词(短语)”构成的复合名词变复数时,把前面名词变复数。
如:father-in-law→fathers-in-law, passer-by → passers-by
5. 以“动词 / 过去分词+副词”构成的复合名词变复数时,在词尾加s。 如:grown-up→grown-ups, stand-by→stand-bys。 21: i.e. 拉丁语 id est 的缩写,意为that is(即)
e.g. 拉丁语exempli gratia 的缩写,意为for the sake of example(如例子) i.e.是用来在一句话之后换种方式解释或描述之前说的内容,例如:The elephant is a pachyderm, i.e., an animal with thick skin and nails resembling hooves.(大象是厚皮类动物,即皮肤厚、有蹄子的动物)
e.g.则是在一句话之后用举例的方式来解释之前的内容,例如:Buy some vegetables, e.g., carrots.(买点蔬菜,比如胡萝卜)
记拉丁语可能比较难,可把i.e.记为in essence(本质上)、 in other words(换句话),e.g.记成example given(给出例子)。

英语地道表达
You bet 没错
Bet 是下赌注的意思,所以 \"You bet.\" 就是指,\"You can bet money on that.\" (你可以把钱压在这上面),言下之意,就是说这件事百分之百正确。 例如:
-Is this the way to High Tower Museum? 这是往 High Tower 博物馆的路吗? -You bet.
一点也没错。
There you go 就这样了
\"There you go.\" 是老外希望结束一段对话时,很自然会脱口而出的一句话,特别是在完成某项交易的时候。像是你去买一样东西,当你付完钱之后店员会说,\"There you go.\" 或 \"That’s it.\" 就表示交易已经完成,你可以离开了。
\"There you go.\" 也常常用来鼓励别人有好的表现,例如小宝宝开始会说话了,你就可以说,\"There you go.\" 来鼓励他,我们也常在球场上听到教练对表现不错的球员大叫,\"There you go.\"
Here you go 干的好
\"Here you go.\" 和 \"There you go.\" 听起来只有一字之差,所以很多人都会乱用,这二者倒底有什么区别呢?
仔细来分,\"Here you go.\" 指的是一件事情还在进行之中,而 \"There you go.\" 则是事情已经结束,例如店员正把你买的东西交付给你,他会说,\"Here you go.\" 而不是 \"There you go.\" 反之,如果东西己经到了你手上,则他会说的是,\"There you go.\"
此外,\"Here you go.\" 和 \"There you go.\" 一样,也有鼓励别人的意思在里面。打棒球的时候每次有人大棒一挥,老外就会兴奋地大叫 \"Here you go.\"
Oh! Boy 天啊
这句话是不是对男生说的呢?其实不是,你不论跟男生或女生都可以说,\"Oh! Boy!\" 甚至你自己自言自语的时候也可以说,\"Oh! Boy!\" 例如你一出门,却发现钥匙忘在里面,这时候你最想说的话就是,\"Oh! Boy!\" (天啊!)
Kind of 是有那么一点,还好啦
Kind of 和 Sort of 是用来表示有那么一点点,但不是很强烈。例如: -Do you like noodles? 你喜欢面食吗?
-Kind of/Sort of. 还好啦!
有时候会看到 kinda 和 sorta 这两个字,它们是 kind of 和 sort of 的简写,例如:
He is just kinda weird. 他有一点怪怪的。
The thing is... 重点是……
在老外口中,thing 就是代表“重点”的意思,相当于 key point。例如: I really like that new house,but the thing is,how much is it? 我很喜欢那栋新房子,但重点是,要多少钱啊?
