1. date ［误］He studied ten hours a date. ［正］He studied ten hours a day. ［析］date是指具体日期。如问Whats 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Its Sunday. ［误］Todays date is January first, 1998. ［正］Todays date is January 1, 1998. ［正］Todays date is January 1st, 1998. ［析］在日期书写中不要用序数词全写，而要用1st, 2nd, 3rd等。如果一定要用序数词，其顺序应为：It is the first of January. 2. day ［误］This is a book about every day English. ［正］This is a book about everyday English. ［正］This is an everyday English book. ［误］We go to school everyday. ［正］We go to school every day. ［析］everyday是形容词，意为日常的，而every day则是每天、天天之意。 3. dead ［误］My father has died for ten years. ［正］My father has been dead for ten years. |
