228. 红色的和白色的玫瑰花开了.
[误] A red and white rose are in bloom.
[正] A red and a white rose are in bloom.
注:表示不同的人,名词前都应用冠词.A novelist and poet 指一个人,即"小说家兼诗人".另外,不同的形容词修饰名词, 则形容词前也须加冠词.A red and white 表示"红白相间的".

229. 今年应邀出席教师节庆祝活动的教师人数比去年多.
[误] The number of teachers invited to the Teachers' Day celebrations this year were larger than that of last year.
[正] The number of teachers invited to the Teachers' Day celebrations this year was larger than that of last year.
注:a number of 是"若干,许多"的意思,后面应该用动词的复数形式;第二个句子内 the number of 中的 number 是"数目"的意思,尽管后面接了复数 teachers,但主语是单数的 number,所以动词须用单数.

230. 他是一位很有经验的教师,学生提什么问题他都不在乎.
[误] He is a too experienced teacher to care what kind of question the students may ask.
[正] He is too experienced a teacher to care what kind of question the students may ask.
注:如果按正常的词序,则 He is a too experienced teacher.(他是一位很有经验的教师.)不能算错,但是由于此句以 too...to 结构贯穿整个句子,这就必须将 too 和 experienced 提至冠词之前

231. 假期从明天开始.
[误] The vacation begins from tomorrow.
[正] The vacation begins tomorrow.
注:中文的"从"字在这种场合是不需译出的,其他场合也不需译成 from,例如"新学期从四月开始".The new term begins in April. "新学期从四月五日开始." The new term begins on the 5th of April. "茶会从六点开始."The tea party begins at six o'clock. "教育从一个人出生开始." Education begins with a man's birth. 例句中的 tomorrow,是一个副词,副词前是不可以用介词的.April, the 5th, six o'clock, birth 都是名词.

232. 我很高兴接受你的邀请.
[误] It gives me much plesure in accepting your invitation.
[正] It gives me much pleasure to accept your invitation. . I have much pleasure in accepting your invitation. . I take great pleasure in accepting your invitation.
注:take great pleasure=greatly enjoy. 如说 have the pleasure 则后不接 in 而接 of,如 I have the pleasure of accepting your invitation.也是通的,不过此种语法多用于下类句中:May I have the pleasure of taking a glass of wine with you I once had the pleasure of being introduced to you. I am sorry I cannot have the pleasure of accompanying you today. I hope you will give me the pleasure of dining with me at 8 o'clock tomorrow evening at my place. There are many famous men whom I have not yet had the pleasure of meeting so far.

233. 我最好讲个故事给你听.
[误] I can do no better than to tell you a story.
[正] I can do no better than tell you a story.
注:在 than 后的词的形式应和 than 前的一致,句中前面是 can do,后面只能说(can)tell,不能说(can)to tell. 他例如 It is better to win than to lose. I'd rather stay at home than go for a walk.

234. 错误显然是在你那一边.
[误] The fault clearly lies at your side.
[正] The fault clearly lies with your side. 注:在不及物动词 lie 后可接用各种各样的介词,惟含义各有不同,如 Sheets of paper lie about the room.(纸张散满一屋.)The vilage lie across the river.(村庄在河的对岸.)Accusation of theft lay against him.(控他以盗窃罪.) The path lies along a stream.(小路沿溪.)The hot springs lie among pretty scenery.(温泉在风光明媚之中.) The blame lies at his door.(错在他.)A happy future lies before you.(幸福就在你前面.)What mystery lay behind the disappearance of the girl (少女失踪的后面潜在着什么神秘 )The truth lies between extremes.(真理存于两个极端之间.)He has the MSS lying by him for the next number.(下一期的原稿在他那里.)The charm of travel lies in its new experiences.(旅行的妙趣在于新奇的经历.)The ship is lying off the mouth of the river.(船停在河口以外.)The book lies on the floor.(书在地上.)A white mist lay over London.(伦敦为白雾笼罩.)The person lies under the suspicion of corruption.(那人有受贿的嫌疑.)The choice lies with you.(任你选择.)在 lie 后面接介词 with 时,意为"是...的义务","是...的责任",他例如 It lies with you to decide.(决定的责任在你.你有义务来作决定.取决于你.)It lies with you to accept or reject the proposal.(接受或拒绝那个建议就全看你了.)The fault does not lie with the government officials.(责任不在政府官员.)

235. 那房间是用电力照明的.
[误] The room is lighted with electricity.
[正] The room is lighted by [means of] electricity. . The room is lighted with electric lamps.
注:用于无形的手段时要用 by,所以与抽象名词连用,但用于有形的手段时则用 with,所以与普通名词连用.electricity 为抽象名词,electric lamps 为普通名词.

236. 你是怎么认识他的
[误] How you come to know him
[正] How come you to know him
注:惯用法在 come to do 的问句中,要将 do,did 等发问的虚词略去,这是古来的传统.但在现今的口语中可说 How did you come to know him 美国口语还可以说 How come you didn't say anything (你为何一言不发 )
