1. 我很喜欢它。
False: I very like it.
True: I like it very much.
2. 这个价格对我挺合适的。
False: The price is very suitable for me.
True: The price is right.
note：suitable(合适的、相配的)最常见的用法是以否定的形式出现在告示或通知上，如：下列节目儿童不宜。The following programme is not suitable for children在这组句子中用后面的说法会更合适。
3. 你是做什么工作的呢？
False: What’s your job?
True: Are you working at the moment?
note：what’s your job这种说法难道也有毛病吗？是的。因为如果您的谈话对象刚刚失业，如此直接的问法会让对方有失面子，所以您要问：目前您是在上班吗？Are you working at the moment?接下来您才问：目前您在哪儿工作呢？ where are you working these days?或者您从事哪个行业呢？What line of work are you in?顺带说一下，回答这类问题时不妨说得具体一点，不要只是说经理或者秘书。
4. 用英语怎么说？
False: How to say in English?
True: How do you say this in English?
note：How to say是在中国最为泛滥成灾的中国式英语之一，这决不是地道的英语说法。同样的句子有：请问这个词如何拼写？How do you spell that please?请问这个单词怎么读？How do you pronounce this word?
5. 明天我有事情要做。
False: I have something to do tomorrow.
True: Sorry but I am tied up all day tomorrow.
note：用I have something to do来表示您很忙，这也完全是中国式的说法。因为每时每刻我们都有事情要做，躺在那里睡大觉也是事情。所以您可以说我很忙，脱不开身：I’m tied up.还有其他的说法：I’m afraid I can’t make it at that time. I,d love to, but I can’t,I have to stay at home.
6. 我没有英文名。
False: I haven’t English name.
True: I don’t have an English name.
note：许多人讲英语犯这样的错误，从语法角度来分析，可能是语法功底欠缺，因为have在这里是实义动词，而并不是在现在完成时里面那个没有意义的助动词。所以，这句话由肯定句变成否定句要加助动词。 明白道理是一回事，习惯是另一回事，请您再说几话：
我没有钱；I don’t have any money.
我没有兄弟姐妹；I don’t have any brothers or sisters.
我没有车。I don’t have a car.
7. 我想我不行。
False: I think I can’t.
True: I don’t think I can.
note：这一组然是个习惯问题，在语法上称为否定前置，这就是汉语里面说“我想我不会”的时候，英语里面总是说“我不认为我会”。以后您在说类似的英语句子的时候，只要您留心，也会习惯英语的说法的.
8. 我的舞也跳得不好。
False: I don’t dance well too.
True: I am not a very good dancer either.
note：当我们说不擅长做什么事情的时候，英语里面通常用not good at something，英语的思维甚至直接踊跃到：我不是一个好的舞者。
9. 现在几点钟了？
False: What time is it now?
True: What time is it, please?
note：What time is it now这是一个直接从汉语翻译过的句子，讲英语的时候没有必要说now,因为您不可能问what time was it yesterday, 或者what time is it tommorow?所以符合英语习惯的说法是：请问现在几点了？还有一种说法是：how are we doing for time?这句话在有时间限制的时候特别合适
10. 我的英语很糟糕。
False: My English is poor.
True: I am not 100% fluent, but at least I am improving.
note：有人开玩笑说，全中国人最擅长的一句英文是：My English is poor.实话说，我从来没有遇到一个美国人对我说：My Chinese is poor. 无论他们的汉语是好是坏，他们会说: I am still having a few problem, but I'm getting better.当您告诉外国人，您的英语很poor，so what(那又怎么样呢) 是要让别人当场施舍给我们一些英语呢，还是说我的英语不好，咱们不谈了吧。另外一个更大的弊端是，一边不停的学英语，一边不停地说自己的英语很poor,这正像有个人一边给车胎充气，又一边在车胎上扎孔放气。 我坚信，如果现在就苦下功夫，把EPTIP系列教材吃通吃透，您的IT职业英语水平立即就会迅速的提高。您以后和外国IT同行交流时再也不用说：我的英语很poor.您可以实事求事地说，我的英语还不算十分流利，但至少我在进步。
11. 你愿意参加我们的晚会吗？
False:Would you like to join our party on Friday?
True: Would you like to come to our party on Friday night?
note：join往往是指参加俱乐部或者协会，如：join a health club; join the Communist Party.事实上，常常与party搭配的动词的come 或者go。如go a wild party，或者come to a Christmas Party。
12. 我没有经验。
False:I have no experience.
True: I am afraid I don’t know much about that.
note：I have no experience这句话听起来古里古怪，因为您只需要说：那方面我懂得不多，或者这方面我不在行，就行了。I am not really an expert in this area.
13. 我没有男朋友。
False: I have no boyfriend.
True: I don’t have a boyfriend.
14. 他的身体很健康。
False: His body is healthy.
True: He is in good health. You can also say: He’s healthy.
15. 价钱很昂贵/便宜。
False: The price is too expensive/cheap.
True: The price is too high/ rather low.作者: kuangye678 时间: 2011-5-29 14:45
16. 我们下了车。
False: We got off the car.
True: We got out of the car.

False: The speed of the car is fast.
True: The car is speeding. Or “The car is going too fast.”
18. 这个春节你回家吗？

19. 我觉得右手很疼。
False:I feel very painful in my right hand.
True: My right hand is very painful.Or "My right hand hurts(aches)."

False:Her red face made me see through her mind.
True: Her red face told me what she was thinking.
23. 看到这幅画让我想到了我的童年时代。

24. 别理她。
False: Don't pay attention to her.
True: Leave her alone.
