able
[误] This bike is able to be repaired.
[正] This bike can be repaired.
[析] be able to 主要表达某事或某人具有某种能力去作某事,应译为有本领、有能力、可以作某事,如:Im able to swim across this river. 而can可以用来表示具有接受能力或吸收能力。如:This radio can be repaired here.
about
[误] This class is about to begin just now.
[正] This class is about to begin.
[析] 要注意be about to 是将要的意思,含有将来时之意,不要与表示过去时的时间状语连用。另外,be about to 一般用作书面语,对应的口语是be going to.
about on
about与on都可以作关于讲,但却有所不同,例如:This book is about physics. 应译为这是一本关于物理学的科普读物。而:This book is on physics.则应译为这是一本物理学方面的专着。
above
[误] The temperature is five degrees over zero.
[正] The temperature is five degrees above zero.
[析] 表达在上方时,above与over是可以互换的,如:The sky is above(or over)our heads. 但是要表达在垂直方向上的上方时则应用above不可用over,如:The sun has risen above the horizon.
