汉译英中常出现的错误:(难点)
(1) 这本词典的价钱是多少?
Wrong: How much is the price of the dictionary?
Right: How much is the dictionary?
Right: What is the price of the dictionary?
说明:how much已有多少钱的意思,不能再用price.
(2) 罗伯特的个子很高。
Wrong: Robert is a high man.
Right: Robert is a tall man.
Right: Robert is very tall.
说明:表示人“高”要用tall,不可用high。
(3) 多谢你的帮助。

(4) 他的名字叫约瑟夫。
Wrong: His name is called Joseph.
Right: His name is Joseph.

Right: I spent two days (in) doing this experiment.
说明:当表示“某人在某事上花费多少时间”之意时要用 “spend +时间+(in) doing”的结构。

说明:too和either都表示“也”之意。但是either用于否定句中,too用于肯定句中。
(9) 你昨晚什么时候睡的。

Right: When did you go to bed last night?
说明:sleep的含义是“睡眠”,而go to bed是上床睡觉的意思。
(10) 你最好别听他的。

Should the University Campus Be Open to Tourists?
提示:
1. 校园是否应对游客开放,人们看法不同。
2. 你的观点是什么?阐述你的理由。
3. 结论。
范文一
One can always find visitors taking pictures and enjoying the scenery on university campus. During the May Day Holiday, National Day Holiday, summer and winter vacations, many university campuses become popular tourist sites. In my opinion, university campus should be open to tourists.
In fact, there are many royal gardens and parks, and all of them are obviously better than the scenery in the universities. Why do you think people prefer visiting here with their children? That is because it is the place where Chinese parents and young students can see their dreams. Besides this, as more tourists come to visit universities, these universities can attract a lot of publicity, and can also make some profit from the tourism.
In a word, I think the university campus should be open to the tourists.
范文二
On university campus, especially on some famous ones, such as Peking University and Qinghua University, tourists are always seen looking around everywhere. Although most of them visit with hope and respect, I think university campus should not be open to tourists.
First, tourists’ visit will disturb the normal teaching. They always get into teaching buildings, libraries and so on. They will make noise and throw rubbish everywhere. Second, some tourists trample grass to take photos, and sculpture on trees to leave words. These will affect the environment of the campus badly.
The university is a holy place for study, not for tourism. So it should not be open to tourists.
