大学英语常见动词的错误用法

  动词是英语最容易犯错的此类,下面是小编分享的大学英语常见动词错误用法,希望能帮到大家!

大学英语常见动词的错误用法

  ①He remained in the Holiday Inn.

  ②The flowers stayed on the branches.

  英语的remain是“留下来”;stay是“暂住”。显然的,①和 ② 是不合逻辑的,

  remained 和stayed必须互换。

  ③A crook robbed her money.

  ④A few masked men stole a small bank last night.

  虽然robbed和stole都是及物动词,有自己的宾语,但是它们在这里的用法不当。

  Steal要跟着被偷的'东西,如钱财、珠宝等;rob的宾语是“人”或“处所”。因此,③和④的robbed和stole要掉转一下。

  ⑤ Sam raises very early every morning.

  ⑥ The monitor rises his hand to ask a question.

  大家知道,raise是个及物动词,意思是“举起”,要有宾语; rise是个不及物动词,意思是“起身”,不可有宾语。这里的 ⑤ 和⑥都错;raises和rises必须对换才对。

  类似的例子还有下面这些:

  ⑦ a. mend b. repair

  这两个动词都是“修理”;不同的是:简单的工作,用mend;复杂的或需要特别仪器的事项,则用repair,如:

  ⑦a. You can mend the broken part of the page with glue.

  ⑦b. It took some time to repair the road.

  ⑧a. burned b. burnt

  这两个动词是burn的过去式和过去分词;在句子中的岗位不同,通常有宾语时用“burnt”,没宾语时用“burned”,如:

  ⑧a. The love of freedom burned in our hearts./ The candle has burned

  brightly for the whole night.

  ⑧b. Who has burnt the paper?/ Jane burnt all the letters from her former

  boyfriend.

  至于“动词”和“助动+介词”的误用,我们可以看下面两组例子:

  ⑨ The police searched the suspects in the shopping centre, but nobody was arrested.

  ⑩ I searched for my pocket and found some coins.

  从语感就知道,⑨和⑩里的searched和searched for是倒置了。 ⑨要的是“寻找”(searched for);⑩要的是“检查”(searched ),两者对换才是。

  (11) The boy says when he grows, he will be a teacher.

  (12) Their business grows up rapiding.

  英语的grow是“发展”;grow up是“长大”。显然的,(11)和(12) 的两个动词又误用了,要对调一下。
