信箱里有张房地产贷款的信件及其细项,印得漂亮,写得也很清楚;美中不足的是几个语文运用上的错误,如混淆词、动词形式和惯用法。这些错误,我已经在不同场合里处理过,可是常常又看到它们出现,虽然不是召之则来,但却是挥之不去。
现在就把这几个错误整合起来,一一分解,希望未犯者不要犯、犯者不要重犯。
(一)I am interested to attend the seminar and be able to enjoy the benefits.
这句的连词and连接两个并列句I am interestedseminar和I am able to第二句的主语和动词和第一句一样,可以省略为and (am) able to这里的动词am也是可有可无,但改用be,就是动词形式不对了。此外,interested多和in连用,因此也可改成I am interested in attending the seminar
(二)We are looking forward to hear from you soon.
这句的语意没有问题:我们盼望你尽速来信。问题是to这个字,这里把它当作不定式动词(infinitive)中的to,如to come, to read, to sing等。但是这句里的to是片语动词 (phrasal verb)look forward to的一部分,是介词(preposition),后头要有宾语(object),可当宾语的是名词(Noun)、代词(Pronoun)、动名词(Gerund: vling)等。这句里用hear,动词形式不对,要改为hearing(动名词)。不然,句子就要改写为:I am looking forward to your response (reply) soon / your early response (reply).
(三)Beside the mortgage planning, I also want to find out how I can benefit from the other scheme.
有些英文字形同义异。上面这句话的意思不是很清楚吗?有什么问题呢?假如把beside改为besides,全句就没问题,但是少了个s的beside就把意思从除此之外变为在旁边;与相比了。
现在试把介词beside和besides填入下列句子的空白处:
(1)John is sitting his teacher.
(2)What other languages do you speak English?
(3)teaching, Jason writes a lot.
(4)your wonderful achievements, my performance counts for nothing.
(四句的答案刊于文后。)
(四)We could provide loan package that cater to your needs.
这句复杂句的意思明白易解,可惜的是形容词从句中的动词cater to和先行词loan package的数不搭配。由于这先行词是单数的名词,修饰它的形容词从句的动词也要单数的caters to才对。如果是复数,动词也要复数(没有s):We could provide loan package and other services that cater to your needs.
(五)Please let us have your response at your earlier convenient.
这个惯用法的位置好,但成分不准确,应该是:at your earliest convenience(尽早)。
这个用法有些过时,改用as soon as possible好了。
(答案:(1)beside (2)besides (3)Besides (4)Beside.)
