摘要
1.楼下那个人睡不着觉。[误]The downstairs man couldn’t go to sleep.[正]The man downstairs couldn’t go to sleep.[析]以today,here,there,downstairs,upstairs, below,above等作定语修饰名词时常放在名词之后。2我正想出去,铃响了。[误]I just went out when the bell rang.[正]I was just going out when the bell rang.[析]由when连接的两个分句,其中—个谓语动词是延续性,另一个谓语是终止性动词时,此处的when是并列连词,意为“这时 (突然)”,所以要将went out改为was going out.
