　　 date ?

　　 [误] He studied ten hours a date.?

　　 [析] date是指具体日期。如问What's the date today? 应回答具体日期:October 1st 1998.而day是指1日(24小时)。如What day is today? 问的是星期几,应回答It's Sunday.

　　 [正] This is a book about everyday English.?

　　 [正] This is an everyday English book.?

　　 dead ?

　　 [误] My father has died for ten years.?

　　 [正] My father has been dead for ten years.?

　　 [析] die是瞬间动词,它可以用于完成时,如:My father has died. 但用于完成时不能与表示一段时间的状语连用。它也可以用于过去时,如:My father died three years ago

　　 [正] We'll always remember the dead who were killed in the war.?

　　 [析] 形容词前如加定冠词表示一类人,如the rich(富人),the sick(病人),the poor(穷人),其后的谓语动词要用复数,如:The rich are not always happy.?

　　 dead deadly ?

　　 dead在某些词组里是完全、的确的意思,如dead right, dead tired, dead sure。而deadly则是致命的,如:The rich man had many deadly enemies. 又如:Cancer is a deadly disease. ?

　　 dead died ?

　　 dead是形容词,如:Mrs Ginty was dead. 而died是动词die的过去式及过去分词,如:She died in 1960.但英语中如表达出对某人去世的伤感说法是pass away, 如:My father passed away, this morning.?

　　 deer ?

　　 [误] In the zoo, there are many deers.?

　　 [正] In the zoo, there are many deer.?

　　 [析] deer是单、复数同形的词,如:one deer,two deer,这样的名词还有fish,sheep等。但如果讲There are many fishes here. 这句话应译为这里有许多种鱼类。而不应译为这里有很多鱼。?

　　 desk ?

　　 [误] The mother dressed the clothes on her child.?

　　 [正] The mother dressed her child.?

　　 [析] dress作及物动词当穿衣服讲时,其后不能接衣服而只能接人,如:The boy is still too young to dress himself. 但作为一种穿着打扮的状态时,则多用其过去分词作形容词,如:He is not dressed in his new suit.或She is dressed in red. 词组dress up是过节日时应服装整齐,如:They dressed up for the holiday.

　　 dress have on put on wear ?

　　 要区别这几个动词需分清是表示动作的动词还是表示状态的动词。表示状态的动词是have on和wear,如:He has on a white coat. He was wearing heavy shoes. 而put on则表示穿衣的动作,如:Put on your coat,it is cold outside.而dress即可以作状态又可以作动作,作动作讲时其后面接人而不能接衣服,作穿着状态时则多用dressed的形式。如:I saw a lady dressed in red. I saw a girl dressing herself.?

　　 drop ?

　　 [误] The students fell their voice.?

　　 [正] The students dropped their voice.?

　　 [析] drop与fall都可以表示落下、掉下之意,有时可以互换,如:The dictionary fell (dropped) from the table. 但drop还可以作及物动词,而fall一般只能作不及物动词。?

　　 [误] I shall drop in you.?

　　 [正] I shall drop in on you.?

　　 [析] drop in是随便拜访某人,而其后要接人时应加介词on再加人称。?

　　 during ?

　　 [误] During I was sick,I couldn't eat well.?

　　 [正] While I was sick,I couldn't eat well.?

　　 [析] during后不能接从句,而when和while后可接从句。?

　　 [误] I have been studying English during three days.?

　　 [正] I have been studying English for three days.?

　　 [析] during不能表达一个动作持续多长的时间,而只能表达在某段时间内某事件的发生。即带有由during引导的时间状语的句子只能用过去时,不能用完成时。?
