4、 some urgent situations ( H 不会使用 “there be”结构。 (It is not uncommon that some students are incapable of using “there be“ structure in their writing. 修正办法：应该十分明确：在“there be ”结构中， be 后面的名词是句子的表 语，如果它后面再有动作，应设法用定语从句、分词短语、不定式短语、介词短语 来表示。 【例 1】 There are some people think that money can make the world go
5、round( There are some people who think that money can make the world go round ( 【例 2】 At the meeting there are a lot of questions discuss( At the meeting there are a lot of questions to be discussed( I 句式缺少变化，使人读起来兴味索然。(Lack of sentence structure variety in some students writing always dampens the r
6、eaders spirits. 修正办法：在写一段英文时，应尽量避免使用同一类句型。要长、短句相间， 适当使用一些被动句和there be句型，有时也可使用一些问句或倒装句。 【例 1】 True friendship is important to us True friendship is a kind of human relationBut true friendship is not easy to come by True friendship is based on mutual understanding ，not on mutual benefitIt means that

26、rom their sentence patterns of Chinese. 修正办法：在写英语句子的时候，一定要从英语组句的三个轴心结构中确定使 用其中的哪一个结构，然后正确确立主语、谓语等组句要素。 【例 1】 We get up early in the morning to read English aloud is necessary ( 这个句子是汉语 “ 我们早晨早起大声阅读英语是很必要的” 一对一的机械对译， 严重违背了英语的句法。可修改为： It is necessary for us to get up early in the morning to read Engli

28、吸烟不仅对于吸烟 者本人有害， 而且还构成对公众健康的威胁，特别是妇女和儿童” 一对一地翻译过 来的，这样就很难保证英语句法的规范。根据英语句法的规律，上面的意思可以表 达为： Why should cigarette smoking be forbidden in public places? This is because smoking is not only harmful to smokers themselves but also is likely to be a threat to public health especially to the health of women
29、and children Cigarette smoking should be banned because it is not only harmful to smokers themselves but also is likely to be a threat to public health especially to the health of women and children B 常常把 “happen/occur/take place ，appear ，crop up ”等不及物动词误用作及物 动 词，从而写出典型的 “ 中式英语 ” 句子。 (Misuse of such
30、 intransitive verbs as happen, occur , take place, appear, crop up and so on as transitive verbs. 修正办法：使用 “happen/occur/take place，appear ，crop up ”等不及物动词时， 应记住时间和地点不能做主语，而应该使用“ 事件/变化/问题” 等词语做主语。 【例 1】 Zhuhai has taken place great changes these years( Great changes have taken place in Zhuhai these y

41、dormitory building，we could hear the laughter ( G 英语议论文在讨论问题、陈述理由、分析原因时多从客观的角度来叙述， 力避主观意断，很少使用诸如“I think”，“in my opinion ”之类的句型。有时即便 有主观因素，也设法把 “I ”，“we ”推到次要的信息部位。但不少中国学生则不注意 这一点，甚至整篇作文中多次使用“I think”，从而大大减弱了文章的色彩和说服 力。(Quite a few Chinese students tend to frequently use “I think,“, “in my opinion“
