武汉市某实验学校有一位外语教师给我写了一封信,说汉口市江岸区为高三学生出了一套统考题,这位教师问为什么 B 项选择就是不行。(标准答案 D 为正确答案)
I don't know _______.
A. who is he B. what is his name
C. where does he live D. how he came here
这位教师信中说,what 若作为主语,what is your name? Henry is my name.B. 就应该可以说得通呀。
其实这属于宾语从句的语序问题,也是一个句型问题。what is his name? 和 what his name is 属于两个不同的句型,完全是两码事。
汉语表达对英语词组的识别和应用的干扰也是不可忽视的。试分析下面一句话错在什么地方:
The nervous girl didn't know how to do with herself when the man kissed her; she was so excited and fearful.
有人说要改写为exciting, 有人说要用horrible。实际上,英语词组根本不用how to do with来表达该怎么办,而只用what to do with,这也许是由于汉语表达习惯的干扰所致。
如果仅仅为了应付某种考试,很容易学会enjoy这个单词的使用。例如:Most workers enjoy ______(ask) questions in public. 你会毫不犹豫地写上asking。
如果说,Creative work does not______them all. 到底用enjoy,还是用keen to,appeal to, appreciate?这里就牵涉到enjoy是以什么作主语,appeal to 是以什么作主语的问题。enjoy 从来以人作主语,appeal to 大部分以物作主语。只教enjoy, 不教appeal to的老师是一个不称职的老师。这就和只教must be, must have, 而不教cannot be, cannot have (may not have)一样,都不算是称职的。
