英语可说 happy Christmas 吗?请看这样一道题:
__________ Christmas!
Same __________ you.
A. Merry, as B. Merry, on C. Happy, as D. Happy, to
此题应选 D。容易误选A,B。错误思维是:
1. 可以说 Happy new year, 但必须说 Merry Christmas。
2. the same as, the same...as 是固定搭配。
关于第2点,比较好解释,因为(The) Same to you. 是口语惯用语,回答祝愿,其意为也祝你。
而第1点搞错的人就很多了,不少人都想当然地认为不能像Happy New Year, Happy birthday那样用Happy Christmas, 其实这是一种典型的想当然错误,请看有关权威词书的实例。如:
1. 大家熟悉的《朗文当代英语词典》(1987年版)就多处出现 Happy Christmas 的用例。如:
1)Happy Christmas. (p. 476,happy词条)
2)Happy Christmas. Same to you. (p. 925 same 词条)
2. 又如章振邦教授主编的两本英语语法著作。如:
1)Happy Christmas. 《新编英语语法教程》(p. 459)
2)A Happy Christmas to all. 《新编英语语法》(上册p. 183)
3. 再如《英语学习》杂志,1992年第7期p. 17的一段对话中,多次将 Happy Christmas 与 Merry Christmas 交替使用。
4. 如果你是一个层次稍高的英语学习者,你可能会读过杨岂深教授主编的《英国文学选读》(Book 3),如果你细心的话,你会发现该书 ANGLO-SAXON ATTITUDES 一文里,也在多次交替使用 Happy Christmas 和 Merry Christmas。
