中考英语常见错误M系列二

　　maybe perhaps ?

　　这两个词的词意一样，maybe常用于非正式谈话，而perhaps则多用在正式文体中。如： Maybe/Perhaps the weather will get better. 而?Julius Caesar? is perhaps the greatest of Shakespeare's early plays.?

　　mend ?

　　［误］ I want to have my bike mended.?

　　［正］ I want to have my bike repaired.?

　　［析］ mend意为缝补，如： My mother mended my coat. 而repair是修理。?

　　mind ?

　　［误］ Could you mind to close the door??

　　［正］ Could you mind closing the door??

　　［误］ Try to make up your mind studying hard.?

　　［正］ Try to make up your mind to study hard.?

　　［析］ mind用作动词时，其后加动名词；而用作名词意为下定决心时，其后要加不定式。 ?要注意Do you mind if I smoke?的答语： 如果你不介意，应回答No, go ahead.如果你不想让对方吸烟，则应讲Yes, please don't.?

　　miss ?

　　［误］ I found my bag missed.?

　　［正］ I found my bag missing.?

　　［析］ missing为形容词，其意为不见了、丢了。在句中用作宾语补足语时不要误用missed，它作动词时多为及物动词，要接名词或动名词，而不接不定式。如： I missed the first train, I don't want to miss seeing the famous football player.?在作补足语讲某物不见了时有missing, gone, lost等，如： I found my bag missing (gone, lost).?

　　mistake ?

　　［误］ I took your pen by wrong.?

　　［正］ I took your pen by mistake.?

　　［析］ by mistake是错拿了、误拿了你的东西。wrong意为错误，而by mistake为弄混了。如：?

　　［误］ If I'm not wrong, you are Mr Brown.?

　　［正］ If I'm not mistaken, you are Mr Brown. (如果我没弄错的话，您是Brown先生。)

　　［误］ The teachers always mistook me as my brother.?

　　［正］ The teachers always mistook me for my brother.?

　　［析］ mistake…for…是错把……当作……之意，如： I took your book for mine.?

　　more ?

　　［误］ This book is more better than that one.?

　　［正］ This book is much better than that one.?

　　［析］ 不能用比较级来修饰比较级，而应用much, rather等来修饰比较级。?

　　［误］ More you read, more you learn.?

　　［正］ The more you read, the more you learn.?

　　［析］ 在越……越……的表达法中，形容词的比较级前要加定冠词。请注意more than one这个词组的后面要跟单数名词和单数谓语动词。如： More than one student is going to do part time job after school.?
