两个学生的作业里有这两句话： ①Singapore is a small and young country. Its achievements have been significant. ②Beside attacking student mobs, the author also criticized the goverments indulgent attitude. 两句中各有一个错误，即：Its和Beside；应该是 Its和Besides才对。Its是it is的缩写，Its才是所有代名词它的。Beside是在旁边，而Besides 才是除此之外。 像这样形似义异的字，在英语里相当多，稍微粗心，便会混淆不清。 下面是些类似的混淆词，请大家注意： ⒈altogether（完全地）：all together（全部） （a） Dr Zhang was not altogether pleased with his salary. （b） Please go all together. ⒉complement（辅助）：compliment（恭维） （a） Different transport means complement one another very well. （b） Sam complimented Helen on her assistance. ⒊uninterested（不感兴趣的）： disinterested（大公无私的） （a） All were uninterested in the project. （b） A good judge should be disinterested. ⒋formally（正式地）：formerly（以前） （a） The guest was formally introduced to the host. |
