不知道什么时候,收到一张补习介绍所中英对照的传单,定睛一看,问题多多。在这一小段英文里,就发现了五个错误。
第一个错误,很久以前谈过了。看看这个句子,便知道了:
As our childrens education is one of our greatest concern, (更正:one ofconcerns)。
再看下来的句子并指出其他的四个错误:
We conduct screening for all tutors and most willing to produce photostated copies of their qualification.
首先,qualification应为复数,即:qualifications.其次, photostat的形容词形态不变,或用photostatic也可,但不是 photostated.第三,第二个并列句中的动词不见了;应该是: and are most willing。最后一个错误较严重,就是句子结构不当,以致语义走样。
原文的We conduct screening for all tutors的意思是: 我们代替所有的补习教师进行审查工作,但是原意应该是:我们审查过所有的补习教师(看看他们是否)。如果是这样的话,那么英文就要改一改:
We conduct screening of all tutors(for their suitability, teaching ability)。然而,这样的写法,稍嫌罗唆,不够简洁,不如改为:
We screen all tutors (for)
可能的话,也可以同时把第二个并列句are most willing to produce photostat copies of their qualifications也改为:
will produce photostat copies
这样一来,两个并列句就等立了,平衡了,意思也一目了然了:
We screen all tutors and will produce photostat copies of their qualifications.
结束本文之前,让我再回到忽略动词这问题来。
忽略动词这种错误是不该有的,但却避免不了,被动句中更是如此。例如:
① Traffic police helped the country to prevent many problems that caused by motor cars. (改正:that were caused by motor cars. / caused by motor cars.)
② A reward offered to her.(改正:A reward was offered to her.)
③ Can the illness cured by this type of medicine?( 改正:Can the illness be cured by this type of medicine?)
④ Building contractors will now find it easier to apply for work permits for foreign workers from non-traditional sources. The Ministry of Manpower is understood to prepare to consider applications in the service sector, too.(改正: The Ministry of Manpower is understood to be prepared to consider applications in the service sector, too.)
