英語讀寫中，你可能會犯的5點錯誤
1. For
here or going?(x)
For here or to go?（√）
For here or to go?是快餐餐廳店員經(jīng)常用來詢問顧客“這里用還是外帶?”的固定說法。有關(guān)go的其他用法，如:(1) Her fever just won't go.(她的高燒就是不退。)(2)His eyesight is going.(他的視力愈來愈差了。)(3) Those good old days are all gone.(從前那些美好的日子已經(jīng)消逝了。)
2. It's
better for you to wear a pair of glasses when swimming.(x)
It's better for you to wear a pair of goggles when
swimming.（√）
glasses 指“一般(閱讀)的眼鏡”。goggles指“用來保護眼睛的泳鏡/防風鏡/護目鏡”等。
3. She
heard a lot of gossips about me.(x)
She heard a lot of gossip about me. （√）
作“閑話”解時，gossip是不可數(shù)名詞。作“一段閑話的進行”解時，用a gossip,如:They're having a gossip.(他們正在閑扯。)作“喜歡講別人閑話的人”解時，gossip是可數(shù)名詞，如:She is an old gossip.(她是一名長舌婦。)
4. Do
we have time to get a bite before the movie?(x)
Do we have time to grab / have a bite before the
movie? （√）
get a bite是指釣魚時“魚來咬餌”，如:1 sat for hours and never got a bite.(我坐了好幾個鐘頭，魚兒都不來咬。) grab / have a bite指的是“隨便吃點東西”。
5. I'll
give you three days' delay to pay the rent.(x)
I'll give you three days' grace to pay the rent.（√）
表“寬限期”應該用grace。
