False: I very like it.
True: I like it very much.
2. 这个价格对我挺合适的。
False: The price is very suitable for me.
True: The price is right.
3. 你是做什么工作的呢?
False: What’s your job?
True: Are you working at the moment?
4. 用英语怎么说?
False: How to say in English?
True: How do you say this in English?
5. 明天我有事情要做。
False: I have something to do tomorrow.
True: Sorry but I am tied up all day tomorrow.
用I have something to do来表示您很忙,这也完全是中国式的说法。因为每时每刻我们都有事情要做,躺在那里睡大觉也是事情。所以您可以说我很忙,脱不开身:I’m tied up.还有其他的说法:I’m afraid I can’t make it at that time. I,d love to, but I can’t,I have to stay at home.
6. 我没有英文名。
False: I haven’t English name.
True: I don’t have an English name.
许多人讲英语犯这样的错误,从语法角度来分析,可能是语法功底欠缺,因为have在这里是实义动词,而并不是在现在完成时里面那个没有意义的助动词。所以,这句话由肯定句变成否定句要加助动词。 明白道理是一回事,习惯是另一回事,请您再说几话:
我没有钱;I don’t have any money.
我没有兄弟姐妹;I don’t have any brothers or sisters.
我没有车。I don’t have a car.
7. 我想我不行。
False: I think I can’t.
True: I don’t think I can.
