[误] Most of stories in this book are written in English.
[正] Most of the stories in this book are written in English.
[正] Most stories in this book are written in English.
[析] "大多数"一词的表达法有most of the +名词,或most+名词。当用前一种结构时,其后面的定冠词不可少。
[误] The temperature of that room is higher than this room.
[正] The temperature of that room is higher than that of this room.
[析] 比较级用于两句话之间时,比较的部分不可省略掉,但为了避免重复,一般都要用that代替前面的单数名词,而用those代替前面的复数名词,如:The books in that box are bigger than those in this box。
[误] He is no more here. Maybe he is at home.
[正] He is no longer here. Maybe he is at home.
[析] no more在现代英语中多译为:"从此再也不会了",如:His voice is no more here. 他已经去世了,他的声音不可能再出现了。而用no longer 表达目前的状态。要注意下面几组句子的实际含意: This room is no cleaner than that one.即两间屋子都不干净。(两者都不干净) This room is not cleaner than that one,即这屋子不如那间干净。(前者不如后者干净。即一间干净,一间不干净。)
