两个学生的作业里有这两句话:
①Singapore is a small and young country. Its achievements have been significant.
②Beside attacking student mobs, the author also criticized the goverments indulgent attitude.
两句中各有一个错误,即:Its和Beside;应该是 Its和Besides才对。Its是it is的缩写,Its才是所有代名词它的。Beside是在旁边,而Besides 才是除此之外。
像这样形似义异的字,在英语里相当多,稍微粗心,便会混淆不清。
下面是些类似的混淆词,请大家注意:
⒈altogether(完全地):all together(全部)
(a) Dr Zhang was not altogether pleased with his salary.
(b) Please go all together.
⒉complement(辅助):compliment(恭维)
(a) Different transport means complement one another very well.
(b) Sam complimented Helen on her assistance.
⒊uninterested(不感兴趣的): disinterested(大公无私的)
(a) All were uninterested in the project.
(b) A good judge should be disinterested.
⒋formally(正式地):formerly(以前)
(a) The guest was formally introduced to the host.
