Debug

下面的這些句子,你可以找出錯誤嗎 ?

1. The cherry flowers are very beautiful. 
    櫻花很漂亮。

2. The bus came late for 10 minutes, so I was late for school.
    公車晚了十分鐘來,所以我上學遲到了! 

3. This is my first time to travel by train.
    這是我第一次搭火車旅行。

4. He almost swims every day.
    他幾乎每天游泳。

5. I suggested him to buy a new car.
    我建議他買新車。

Debug Answers:

1. The cherry blossoms are beautiful.
在英文中,花不全都是 flower ! 長在地面上的花是 “ flower”,長在樹上的花叫 "blossom ",例如 apple blossom, orange blossoms。不過請注意當成的禮物的”花”則一律用 “ flower”。

2. The bus came 10 minutes late, so I was late for school.
受到中文字詞順序 ” 晚了十分鐘,遲到一小時 “ 的影響,我們習慣把時間放在late後面:”late for 10 minutes, late for one hour…” ,這是很容易犯的錯誤。

在英文中,”時間”要放在late前面: “The bus came 10 minutes late.”,” I was one hour late.”。這時候late 是副詞,放在後面修飾整個句子。

I was late for school 的 late 則是形容詞,放在 be 動詞 “ was “ 的後面形容主詞 “ I “ 的狀態。

3. This is the first time I have travelled by train.
不論是什麼的第一次,在英文都是用 “ the first time “。後面用現在完成式” I have travelled”,明確表達出從過去到現在的經驗。

bloom and blossom
2012/10/23 21:22

Thanks for your debugging, I haved learned something.

The cherrry trees in Washington are blooming/blossoming.

Which do you prefer: blooming or blossoming?

You're welcome! :)
When speaking of trees, I prefer to use "blossoming".
"Blooming" usually refers to flowers that have already flowered ("opened"),
while "blossoming" is still in the process of flowering.

So...The cherry trees in Washington are blossoming.
You can also replace "blossoming" with "in bloom".
Hope this helps!
