1. few [误]Few of them is very good. [正]Few of them are very good. [析]few意为几乎没有,但要用复数谓语动词。如果讲有一些人应用a few, 如:There were only a few people in the street. [误]There are less farms than there used to be. [正]There are fewer farms than there used to be. [析]few的比较级为fewer,其后接可数名词;而little的比较级为less,其后接不可数名词。 2. field [误]He is a famous scientist on the field of physics. [正]He is a famous scientist in the field of physics. [析]in the field是在田野上或是在某一学科领域内,而on the field则多指在战场上。如:He lost his life on the battle field. 3. fill [误]She filled orange into my glass. [正]She filled my glass with orange. [析]表示要用某种物品装满某容器时要用fill with词组,如:The boy ran back home filled with joy. fill, full fill是动词,但有及物与不及物两种用法,当表示充满之意时是不及物动词,应用fill with,如:The little girls eyes filled with tears. 而当表示使装满某物时,是及物动词,如:He filled his pocket with books. 而be filled with应看作系表结构,如:The boys mother was filled with anger. full是形容词,要用be full of这一词组,如:The boy was full of joy. |
