 249. 麦饼比米饼便宜.
[误] A cake made of wheat costs less than that made of rice.
[正] A cake made of wheat costs less than one made of rice.
注:that 是从 the 变来的,属于定冠词的范围之内,所以它只能代表有定冠词的单数名词,如 The cost of oil is less than that of gas. 但凡是有不定冠词的单数名词,就不能用 that 代表,只能用 one 代表,如上举的两个例句ne=a cake,而 that=the cost.对于有定冠词的单数名词,也并不一定非用 that 代表不可,如 The step you have taken is that of much risk. 一句中的 that 就错了,应改为 one 才对,因为在动词 is 后应接 a step,所以只能用 one 代表.

250. 学生们在星期六晚上要去参加一个舞会.
[误] The students are going to a dance party on Saturday night.
[正] The students are going to a dance on Saturday night.
注:舞会应该说 dancing party,不要说 dance party,但一般只说 dance 也就够了.开舞会就说 give a dance,去参加舞 会就说 go to a dance.那旅馆每晚举行舞会:At the hotel dances are held nightly. 我第一次遇见她是在一个舞会上: She and I first met at a dance. 他们请我参加舞会:They asked me to a dance. 规模较大的舞会,英语又可说 ball,是 从拉丁文来的.

251. 这机器要修理.
[误] The machine wants to repair.
[正] The machine wants to be repaired. . The machine wants repairing. 注:动词 want 也和动词 need 一样,后接动名词时要用主动,后接不定式时才可以用被动,用主动便错了.如果以人做主语, 也就可以用主动的不定式了,同时也可接被动的不定式,例如 He wants to buy a watch. He wants to be notified beforehand

252. 苹果坏了四分之三.
[误] Three-fourths of the apples was ruined.
[正] Three-fourths of the apples were ruined.
注:英语以分数为主语时,由其后接的名词决定动词的单复数,例句中的 apples 为复数,故动词应改为复数的 were.但 Three-fourths of the crop was ruined.(四分之三的收成都毁了.)

253. 猫把家里的老鼠一扫而光.
[误] The cat cleared off rats from the house.
[正] The cat cleared the house of rats. . The cat swept rats out of the house.
注:用动词 clear 时,其形式为"clear + 地点 + of + 物",如用 sweep 时,则为"sweep + 物 + out of + 地点".

254. 昨夜他喝得大醉.
[误] He was much drunken last night.
[正] He was much drunk last night.
注:drunken 是一个限定形容词,只能用在名词前,如 a drunken man(醉人),不能作叙述形容词用.

255. 到公园去怎样走
[误] How shall I go to the park
[正] What way shall I take to get to the park
注:How shall I go 是问怎样去法,如坐出租车去,坐公共汽车去,或坐三轮车去之类.问路应说 What way 才对.

256. 全家人在九点钟上教堂去做礼拜.
[误] The family go to the church at 9 o'clock.
[正] The family goes to church at 9 o'clock.
注:把全家人看做一个整体,即一家人,应该接用单数动词."去做礼拜",英语应说 go to church,如果加了冠词说成 go to the church,便不是去做礼拜,而只是去参观礼拜堂的建筑.同样"上学读书"是 go to school,如说 go to the school,便是 指校舍而言,与读书无关.

257. 他的女儿嫁给一个阔人.
[误] His daughter married to a rich man.
[正] His daughter married a rich man. . His daughter was married to a rich man.
注:中国话的"嫁"或"娶",英语都是 marry.此外,"主婚"也是 marry,例如 She is married to a foreigner.(她嫁给一个外国人.)He married a wife last year.(他在去年娶了妻.)He has been married two years.(他结婚两年了.)He wshed to marry his daughter to a peer.(他希望把女儿嫁给一个贵族.)The clergyman married Mary Jones to John Smith.(牡师主持玛莉和约翰的婚礼.)
