2. 这个价格对我挺合适的。 D"7}&Ry:
The price is very suitable for me. (fault) ?Ga8.0Z~KT
The price is right. 9LR=>@Z
Note:suitable(合适的、相配的)最常见的用法是以否定的形式出现在告示或通知上,如:下列节目儿童不宜。The following programme is not suitable for children在这组句子中用后面的说法会更合适。 1IXtu

3. 你是做什么工作的呢? wJp<ZL
What's your job? (fault) _CwTe=K}
Are you working at the moment? !_fDL6a-
Note:what's your job NL21se
这种说法难道也有毛病吗?是的。因为如果您的谈话对象刚刚失业,如此直接的问法会让对方有失面子,所以您要问:目前您是在上班吗?Are you working at the moment?接下来您才问:目前您在哪儿工作呢?Where are you working these days?或者您从事哪个行业呢?What line of work are you in?顺带说一下,回答这类问题时不妨说得具体一点,不要只是说经理或者秘书 &:&'70Ya

4. 用英语怎么说? ?ZF):}rvZ
How to say? (fault) y|`-)fY
How do you say this in English? C}huU
Note:How to say是在中国最为泛滥成灾的中国式英语之一,这决不是地道的英语说法。同样的句子有:请问这个词如何拼写?How do you spell that please?请问这个单词怎么读?How do you pronounce this word? Lqgrt]L_"

5. 明天我有事情要做。 uibmQ|AQ
I have something to do tomorrow? (fault) U^m#!hp
Sorry but I am tied up all day tomorrow. ug3\K83aj/
用I have something to do来表示您很忙,这也完全是中国式的说法。因为每时每刻我们都有事情要做,躺在那里睡大觉也是事情。所以您可以说我很忙,脱不开身:I抦 tied up.还有其他的说法:I抦 I can't make it at that time. I'd love to, but I can't, I have to stay at home. Q}BMvR 9w

6. 我没有英文名。 (W1$+X
I haven't English name. (fault) <jh4P!\&j
I don't have an English name. ^<I(
Note:许多人讲英语犯这样的错误,从语法角度来分析,可能是语法功底欠缺,因为have在这里是实义动词,而并不是在现在完成时里面那个没有意义的助动词。所以,这句话由肯定句变成否定句要加助动词。 *22Vc2[i;
明白道理是一回事,习惯是另一回事,请您再说几话:我没有钱;I don't have any money.我没有兄弟姐妹;I don't have any brothers or sisters.我没有车。I don't have a car. rN0<y4)!

I think I can't.(fault) 8Qv s\TY
I don't think I can. 65EMB%
Note:这一组然是个习惯问题,在语法上称为否定前置,这就是汉语里面说?我想我不会?的时候,英语里面总是说?我不认为我会?。以后您在说类似的英语句子的时候,只要您留心,也会习惯英语的说法的。 R)NSJ-A!2

8. 我的舞也跳得不好。 fi?4!h
I don't dance well too. (fault) mxNd_{n
I am not a very good dancer either. PTe L3L
Note:当我们说不擅长做什么事情的时候,英语里面通常用not good at something,英语的思维甚至直接踊跃到:我不是一个好的舞者。 '*J+mZt N

9. 现在几点钟了?
&@iOB #H
What time is it now? (fault) +,e#uuj$p
What time is it, please? {npm9w<;
Note:What time is it now这是一个直接从汉语翻译过的句子,讲英语的时候没有必要说now,因为您不可能问what time was it yesterday, 或者what time is it tomorrow?所以符合英语习惯的说法是:请问现在几点了?还有一种说法是:How are we doing for time?这句话在有时间限制的时候特别合适 sz9W}&(j
