在英语里,⑦的正确用法是:Peter hurried to the post office./Peter went to the post office in a hurry.
⑧ Some of our people are easy to catch cold.(有些人容易伤风。)
像这种意思的句子,英语有几种说法,但没有一种是像⑧里所写的。例如:(a) Some of our people catch cold easily. (b) Some of our people are liable to catch cold. (c) Some of our people are susceptible to cold. (d) It is easy for some of our people to catch cold.
⑨ -Do you like this fruit juice?
-Yes, I like.
这个答语既不是个完整句,也不是个省略句。如果是前者,应该是:Yes, I like this fruit juice.或Yes, I like it.如果是后者,应该用代替词do:Yes, I do.
⑩ -Pat isnt a lecturer, is she?
-Yes, she isnt.
中文的yes不一定和肯定句连用,而no也不必和否定句挂钩,所以才有中式的Yes, she isnt (a lecturer).或甚至 No, she is (a lecturer).的回应。
反之,英语就不如此。英语的yes要用肯定句(positive statement):no后面是否定句(negative statement)。因此,⑩里的逻辑答语是:No, she isnt.
