詞性(Parts of Speech)

使用相同的單詞,但運用在不同的詞性(parts of speech)下會很容易產生英文病句,例如名詞當作動詞用。當英語表達事物時的方式和使用中文單詞有出入時,錯誤運用詞性的情況就會出現。例如,名詞“loss”可能與動詞“lose”或形容詞“lost”互相混淆。以下練習題目是錯用詞性的經典例子。

I ________ the road.

正確的!
錯了!

“cross”是動詞,“across”一般作為介係詞使用。

He won't express his ________.

正確的!
錯了!

這句字需要名詞“anger”。“angry”是形容詞。例如:He never gets angry。

He sings very _______.

正確的!
錯了!

修飾動詞時需要運用副詞。由於“sing”是動詞,如要修飾它,我們必須要運用副詞“badly”。如果我們將動詞變為名詞,我們就需要形容詞來修飾,例如:His singing is very bad。

I don't think that painting is very ________.

正確的!
錯了!

修飾名詞需要運用形容詞。“beauty”是名詞,而“beautiful“是形容詞。由於”painting“是名詞,故此我們需要”beautiful“來修飾。

正確的!
錯了!

“breath”是名詞。“breathe”才是動詞。

I'll ______ chocolates as my prize

正確的!
錯了!

正確的!
錯了!

顯而易見,”comfortable“是形容詞,我們不會用名詞”comfort“來修飾另一名詞”chair“。

錯了!

“complicate”是動詞,把它變為形容詞“complicated”後句子就沒有錯誤了。

They found him in the desert, but the was ____.

正確的!
錯了!

“was“後面要加形容詞,所有”dead“才正確。請注意:”was died“是被動句式,由於”die”是不及物的(intransitive),所以我們不能用被動句式的。

which sentence is correct?

正確的!
錯了!

中文說:他很容易生病。這句話用英語表達是不恰當的,因為第一句的”easy“會變為修飾”he“。如要修飾生病(get sick),我們就需要副詞,即”easily“。

錯了!

句子需要形容詞“embarrassed”,非動詞“embarrass”。

正確的!

正確的!
錯了!

這裡我們以名詞“horror”來修飾另一名詞“movie”,成為名詞組,表達電影的類別為恐怖電影。“horrible”是形容詞,表達令人不愉快的感覺。如果觀眾看完這套電影後覺得是一部好電影,他們會說是good movie,但如果覺得電影是一文不值,這時候他們就可以說這套電影是horrible movie。
