關於會考英語常見錯誤

maybe perhaps ?

這兩個詞的詞意一樣，maybe常用於非正式談話，而perhaps則多用在正式文體中。如： Maybe/Perhaps the weather will get better. 而?Julius Caesar? is perhaps the greatest of Shakespeares early plays.?

mend ?

［誤］ I want to have my bike mended.?

［正］ I want to have my bike repaired.?

［析］ mend意為縫補，如： My mother mended my coat. 而repair是修理。?

mind ?

［誤］ Could you mind to close the door??

［正］ Could you mind closing the door??

［誤］ Try to make up your mind studying hard.?

［正］ Try to make up your mind to study hard.?

［析］ mind用作動詞時，其後加動名詞；而用作名詞意為下定決心時，其後要加不定式。 ?要注意Do you mind if I smoke?的答語： 如果你不介意，應回答No, go ahead.如果你不想讓對方吸菸，則應講Yes, please dont.?

miss ?

［誤］ I found my bag missed.?

［正］ I found my bag missing.?

［析］ missing為形容詞，其意為不見了、丟了。在句中用作賓語補足語時不要誤用missed，它作動詞時多為及物動詞，要接名詞或動名詞，而不接不定式。如： I missed the first train, I dont want to miss seeing the famous football player.?在作補足語講某物不見了時有missing, gone, lost等，如： I found my bag missing (gone, lost).?
