1、中考英語常見習慣用語精講例析（一）知識概要 由于英語國家的語言習慣與中國的語言習慣有許多不同之處，所以造成了許多同學在做選擇或書寫，或與人交談中造成誤用中國方式來對英語的問句作解答。例如一個小女孩十分好看，可愛，外國人見到時會講： You are so beautiful 這時的答語應該是 Thank you 如果外國人發現你的英語不錯，他們會講： Your English is very good 這時中國人常常會說：不，我說的不好。這純是一種禮貌的答語，但是不符合英語習慣。它正確的答語應是 Thank you 雖然交際英語有一些規律可講，但更重要的是學習外國的生活習慣，了解他們的文化背景，

2、歷史淵源，這樣才能真正的學好一門外語。（二）正誤辨析 誤 - What can I do for you?- Yes， please help me 正 - What can I do for you?- I'd like to buy a sweater 析 What can I do for you? 這一問語實際上用于的情景很多，要根據具體情況而定。如在商店中售貨員講這句話應譯為：您想要點什么?在其他場合也可以被譯為：我能為您做些什么?它的答語應是直接講出想讓對方提供的幫助。誤 - Which colour do you like?- Sorry， I don't lik

3、e 正 - Which colour do you like?- I prefer blue 析 由 which 來提問的問句是要回答具體的選擇，而不能泛指，泛泛的回答。如 Yes， I like it誤 Do you like to come with us tonight? 正 Would you like to come with us tonight? 析 Do you like 問的是對方的習慣，如： Do you like swimming? Do you like collecting stamps? 而 would you like 則是一次性的邀請、提議。邀請的英語表達法還有

4、如下幾種：Shall we go? 我們走吧!Let's go? 讓我們走吧!How about having a cup of tea? 喝杯茶如何?What about a cup of coffee 喝杯咖啡如何?Why not buy it? 為什么不買呢?其肯定答語一般為Certainly， Yes， OAll right， With pleasure誤 Sorry， I've kept you waitingNot at all 正 Sorry， I've kept you waitingNever mind 析 "介意不介意"這一問法與

5、答語在中英文中有所不同。如：- Do you mind my smoking here?- Yes， do it pleaseNo， of course notYes， take it pleaseNo， you can't take it這時正確的選擇應是B。 其意為：不介意，當然不。而A選項則自相矛盾了，它應譯為：是的我介意，請抽吧。而D選項是：不介意，你不能抽。當向對方爭求意見時，可以有以下問法：Do you mind if I open the door?Would you mind mailing the letter for me其答語如果是同意應為： Certainly

6、not， not at all而不同意時應為 Yes， 或 I'm sorry誤 What's that man?He is Mike 正 What's that man?He is a teacher 正 Who's that man?He is Mike (He is Mike's father) 析 由 what 提問是問的職業，由 who 提問問的是姓名或身份。誤 - How much are they?- Half a kilo， please 正 - How many bananas do you want?- Half a kilo Ple

7、ase 析 How much are they? 問的是價格而不是實際物品的多少。誤 I'm sorry， but is this the way to the park? 正 Excuse me， but is this the way to the park? 析 I'm sorry 是對已經做錯了的事向對方道歉時的開始語。而 Excuse me 是在打擾對方之前表達歉意的話。誤 - Have a good time tonight!- You are the same 正 - Have a good time tonight!- The same to you 析 The

8、 same to you 是表達我也祝您有個愉快的夜晚，它是美語中的習慣用法。誤 - What's the problem?- I've got a headache 正 What's wrong with you?I've got a headache 析 What's wrong with you? 是詢問對方身體狀態如何，而 What's the problem?是問對方遇到了什么麻煩。誤 - Now， I'm back Can I play?- Perhaps You'd better do your homework f

9、irst 正 - Now， I'm back Can I play?- I'm afraid not You'd better do your homework first 析 Perhaps 是表示對一種拿不準的事態的推論，如： Am I right? Perhaps而 I'm afraid not 則表達一種不同意的態度。 be afraid 的幾種用法有：I'm afraid that you are right其后直接加賓語從句。- Will you come to my birthday party?- I'm afraid not I

10、 have to go to see my father He is in hospital其后not，表示否定。- Sorry， I don't want to go there alone， I'm afraid of the dog其后名詞，表示對某人，某物的害怕。Mary is afraid of making mistakes in the exam其后 of 動名詞，表示害怕做某事。Mary is afraid to see the teacher because she didn't do well in the exam其后 不定式，表示不敢去做某事。誤

11、 - How soon will you be ready?- Two days 正 - How soon will you be ready?- In two days 析 此題關鍵是要根據情景，身臨其境，要注意的是對方問了什么，就應答什么?；虼鹆耸裁淳蛻獑柺裁?。 How soon 問的是"還有多久才能作完"，這時要用 in two days， 即在兩小時之內即可以作完。如用 How long 提問，則答語可以用 two days。誤 - Would you mind if I have some time off?- I don't mind- Monday a

12、nd Tuesday of next week 正 - Would you mind if I have some time off?- When exactly- Monday and Tuesday of next week 析 有的對話是復雜的，稍有不慎就有可能選錯，而且英語中如選錯了答案是不容易找出錯來的。 I don't mind 是可以用來回答 Would you mind這一提問的，但如仔細看一看則會發現我們要選用的不是陳述句而是疑問句。根據下面一句的答語來判定要用 when exactly? 什么時間，這樣才能與下句中具體的時間相符合。誤 Suppose your na

13、me is Tom The phone rings and you pick it up The first word you say will probably be "Who are you?" 正 Suppose your name is Tom The phone rings and you pick it up The first word you say will probably be "Hello? This is Tom speaking?" 析 在英語學習中，習慣用法實際上在某種情況，或某種意義上講比語法更為重要。如果只從句子的角度上

14、去分析，它們可能都是對的。比如，當你拿起電話時，如果你想知道對方是誰，可以問"Who's that(speaking)?"但不要講"Who are you?"如果你想先介紹一下自己可以講"This is ×××× speaking"而不要講"I'm××××"也不要講"My name is ×××××"就語法而論，"Who are you?&q

15、uot; "I'm ××××""My name is ×××××"并不錯，也是英語中可用的句子，但就打電話這一場合，就不宜用了。誤 - Do you think it's going to rain over the weekend?- I don't hope so 正 - Do you think it's going to rain over the weekend?- I hope not 析 由于初學者對實際英語口語中表達感

16、情意愿的答語不熟悉，如在肯定答語中 I think so I hope so I believe so 是相同的，但在否定句中卻常用 I don't think so 但I don't believe so 和 I don't hope so 則意為：我不信此事和我不希望此事發生。而 I believe not 和 I hope not 則為：我想可能不會發生吧!誤 - Is anybody there?- No， Bob and Tom have asked for leave 正 - Is everybody there?- No， Bob and Tom have

17、 asked for leave 析 許多學生在寫作和選擇答語或問句時總要語法在前，而不是習慣用語在先。所以總是要拘泥疑問句中的不定代詞，用 anybody。 但是Is anybody there? 在英語中為：這里有人嗎?而Is everybody there?為：全都到齊了嗎?所以首先要考慮的是其答語。 No， Bob and Tom have asked for leave誤 - Your handwriting is very good!- No， my handwriting is very poor 正 - Your handwriting is very good!- Thank

18、 you 析 中國人遇到別人稱贊，總是以謙遜為美德。但英美人則往往認為自信是美德。所以當別人夸獎你或贊美你時，就應說： Thank you 又比如中國人見面時常講 Where are you going? 或 Have you had your breakfast yet?而英美人則認為你過多的干預別人的私生活了。而他們見面時往往問一些無關緊要的話，如： Hello! How are you going? (你過得怎樣) Morning! 等。而 good morning 和 How do you do 則被認為是較正規的問候語，在日常生活中則十分少見。誤 When you have had

19、dinner with an American friend and want to leave you may say： "Excuse me I'll go first" 正 When you have had dinner with an American friend and want to leave you may say： "Excuse me I have to go" 析 這兩句答語都是正確的，其關鍵不是語法，而是習慣問題。如果在這樣的場合你講 I'll go first 朋友們會迷惑不解，而 I have to go

20、則表示由于外界的特殊原因而造成的你要離去，而你本人則十分不愿做此事。誤 - Would you like to come to dinner tonight?- I'd like to， and I'm too busy 正 - Would you like to come to dinner tonight?- I'd like to， but I'm too busy 析 I'm too busy 與 I'd like to 在意義上正好相反。所以要用轉折連詞。這里考查了對詞義合乎邏輯的表達能力。所以要強調語言環境，更要強調在語言的基礎上的詞

21、語辨析。誤 - Where's Deter?- Deter will come with us tonight but he isn't very sure yet 正 - Where's Deter?- Deter may come with us tonight but he isn't very sure yet 析 由于 but 所引出的句子可以看出 Deter 的來與不來是十分不確定的，所以應用 may 來表達一個不肯定的事件。誤 - Hi， haven't seen you for ages! You look fine!- Great Yo

22、u look well too 正 - Hi， haven't seen you for ages! You look fine!- Thanks You look well too 析 要注意的是 Great 在口語中多表示驚嘆，而 Thanks 則表示感謝對方的稱贊。所以對情景談話要有準確的判定，要根據情景，身臨其境，上下對照，周密思考，弄清場合，注意英美人的風俗習慣，注重語義上的詞語辨析，并要進行大量的語言實踐練習，擴大實際交際能力。（三）例題解析 1 - Would you like to have some rice?- AYes， I like BYes， please C

23、of course DYes， I have答案 B.析 當對方對你發出邀請的問語時，如果你想接受則講 Yes， please 如不想接受則用No， thanks2 - Nice to see you- AGood morning BHappy to meet you， too CNice to see you， too DPleased to meet you， too答案 C.析 雖然A、B、D三個選項都可以作為某種問候語的答語，但英語中問候語的答語多用重復對方的話，以表達同樣的心情。3 - Would you please give me some water?- AYes， I wou

24、ld BCertainly CNo， thanks DYes， please答案 B.析 當對方發出十分禮貌的請求幫助的問語時，一般的回答是肯定的。而Yes， please 為"是的，您請做某事吧"。這一含意顯然不對。4 - Thank you very much for helping me- AYou're welcome BIt doesn't matter CNo need DDon't say that答案 A.析 You're welcome 譯為中文為：不用謝。而 It doesn't matter 則為：沒關系。5 -

25、 Hello， Lucy How are you?- And you?AFine， thanks BYes， I am CGlad to meet you DGood afternoon答案 A.析 在正常交往中一定要避免所問非所答。所以對 How are you? 的答語應為"很好，謝謝!"6 - Help yourself to some meat- AIt sounds nice BYes， please CYes， Let's help each other DThank you答案 D.析 Help yourself to some meat 你自己拿些肉

28、 we're away?- ANo， thanks BWith pleasure CI'm not afraid DI'm sure you will答案 B.析 With pleasure 是英語中的一句十分客氣的答語，用在當對方因你的幫助或你的許諾向你道謝時，表達自己十分樂意為對方效力的口氣。11 - Hello! Could I speak to the headmaster， please?- AHold on， please BThat's the headmaster， please CWho are you ? please DSorry I

29、9;m not the headmaster答案 A.析 hold on， please 是指請對方等一等不要將電話放下的用語。如果要講我就是的話不能用 that， 而要用 this， 在電話用語中 that 指對方， this 指自己。12 - Happy birthday!- AThank you BThe same to you CGood luck DCongratulations答案 A.析 the same to you 是同樣祝賀對方的意思，不能用于生日這一祝賀語，除非兩人的生日在同一天。13 - I'm sorry I don't know the way， e

30、ither You'd better ask that policeman for help - AGood night BThat's nothing CVery well DThank you all the same答案 D.析 當向對方求助時，對方無能為力，這時的感謝語則為 Thank you all the same 意為不管如何還是要謝謝你。14 - I fell and hurt my leg last week， So I can't do anything- AI'm sorry BDon't worry CGood luck DBad

31、 luck答案 D.析 如果用A則要用 I'm sorry to hear that而不能單用 I'm sorry 因I'm sorry 是向對方道歉。而 bad luck 為真是不幸啊。15 - - I have got a coughAWhat's your trouble? BWhat have you got? CWhy did you come here? DHave you got a cough?答案 A.析 What's your trouble? 多用于問對方有什么問題、麻煩或得了什么病。這種用語還有 What's wrong
