很多小朋友都会犯Chinglish的错误!在日常英语口语中总是带着汉语的思维,这让很多歪果仁犯了难。

今天就跟大家分享一些国内小朋友一直说的中式英语表达,大家快来看看自己有没有中招啊!虽然这些表达大部分都能让歪果仁理解,但是小小的改变,会让你的英语听上去不再那么中式,那么low。

用词重复

1.这位老人靠捕鱼为生。

×错误:The old man made a living by catching fish.

√正确:The old man made a living by fishing.

2.我擅长画画,他擅长阅读。

×错误:I'm good at painting pictures and he's good at reading books.

√正确:I'm good at painting and he's (good at) reading.

3.我国是历史悠久的大国。

×错误:Our country is a great country with a long history.

√正确:Ours is a great country with a long history.

固定搭配使用不当

4.中学以来,他就壮得像一头牛。

×错误:Since junior high school, he is as strong as an ox.

√正确:Since junior high school, he is as strong as a horse.

和我们不一样,歪果仁常常用马来形容人身体壮,胃口大(He eats like a horse.)

5. 我的舞也跳得不好。

×错误:I don't dance well too.

√正确:I am not a very good dancer either.

6.我没有经验。

×错误:I have no experience.

√正确:I am afraid I don’t know much about that.

简单直译

7.他的身体很健康。

×错误:His body is healthy.

√正确:He is in good health./ He’s healthy.

8.他的课给我们带来很多快乐。

×错误:His classes bring us a lot of happiness.

√正确:His classes make us so happy.

√正确:His classes really brighten us up.

9. 她脸红了,让我看穿了她的心思。

×错误:Her red face made me see through her mind.

√正确:Her red face told me what she was thinking about.

10.看到这幅画让我想到了我的童年时代。

×错误:The sight of these pictures made me remember my own childhood.

√正确:The sight of these pictures reminded me of my own childhood.

11. 吸烟有害健康。

×错误:Smoking is harmful for your body.

√正确:Smoking is harmful for your health.

语法错误

12. 我想我不行。

×错误:I think I can't.

√正确:I don't think I can.

这一组是个习惯问题,在语法上称为否定前置,这就是汉语里面说“我想我不会”的时候,英语里面总是说“我不认为我会”。

13. 用英语怎么说?

×错误:How to say in English?

√正确:How do you say this in English?

How to say并不是最为地道的英语说法。同样的句子有:“How do you spell that please?/ How do you pronounce this word。

14. 我很喜欢打篮球。

×错误:I very like playing basketball

√正确:I like playing basketball very much.

15. 我没有英文名。

×错误:I haven't English name.

√正确:I don't have an English name.

have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。

怎么样?今天的15句Chinglish句子,你说过吗?如果有的话,那么也许你还要在英语学习上再更上一层楼,尤其是要了解英语思维和文化。
