461. 所有的孩子都有调皮的时候.
[误] All of children can be naughty sometimes.
[正] All children can be naughty sometimes.
注:一般来说,all 或 all of 都可用于名词或 this,that 之前,但是,当名词单独使用(即不带冠词,代词所有格或其他限定 词)时,通常不用 all of,而在代词前,则只可用 all of.如:All whisky is expensive.(威士忌都很昂贵.)All of you are wrong.(你们全都错了.)I've read all(of) the books you lent me.(你借给我的书,我都看过了.)
462. 整个夏天他都很忙.
[误] He was busy in all summer.
[正] He was busy all summer.
注:在表示时间的短语里如有 all 修饰,则前面一般不加介词.
463. 我双亲都在北京.
[误] My parents are all in Beijing.
[正] My parents are both in Beijing.
注:当指三个或三个以上的全体时,用代词 all: There are five boys and four girls in our class. We all want to go to the park.(我们班上有五个男同学四个女同学.我们大家都想到公园去.)若只限于两个,则用 both: I borrowed two books from the library. They were both useful.(我从图书馆借了两本书,两本书都很有用.)由此可见误句中的 all 应改 为 both.
464. 工农业生产都在大踏步前进.
[误] Insustrial and agricultural productions are all making giant strides.
[正] Both industrial and agricultural productions are making giant strides.
注:汉语中的"两者都"这一概念,英语常用 both...and 来表示:Both John and Tom have passed the exam.(约翰和汤 姆两人都已通过考试.)而 all 则常指三者或三者以上的人或物.误句中说的是工业和农业两者,故不可用 all.
465. 他们都没去看展览.
[误] All of them didn't go to the exhibition.
[正] None of them went to the exhibition.
注:对 all 构成的否定属于部分否定.意思是:"并非所有...".要表示全部否定,须用 none(无一)作主语.这时谓语动词可 以是复数,也可以是单数.
466. 这儿不允许抽烟.
[误] It is not allowed to smoke here.
[正] Smoking is not allowed here.
注:当 allow 用于被动语态时,我们不能用形式主语 it 作句子的主语,而应以"(不)允许做的事"为主语.
467. 演出还没结束,几乎没有观众在看了.
[误] Nearly no audience were still seeing it before the performance ended. [正] Almost no audience were still seeing it before the performance ended.
注:在与 never, nobody, nothing, no 等否定意义的词连用时,只用 almost,不用 nearly.
468. 雾太大,我们几乎什么也看不清.
[误] We could almost not see through the fog.
[正] We could hardly see through the fog.
注:almost 可以修饰 no, none, nothing, 但不可以修饰 not. 例如:Almost none of us took any rest last night. 汉语 中"几乎不......","差不多没有......"等通常用 hardly, scarcely 来表达.例如:Scarcely(或 Hardly)anybody believes it.
469. 他几乎把半个大奶油蛋糕吃掉了.
[误] He almost ate half of the big cream cake.
[正] He ate almost half (of) the big cream cake.
注:尽管 almost 是个居于句子中间位置的副词,即应当置于谓语动词之前,或第一个助动词之后.但是此句中 almost 修饰的 不是谓语动词 ate,而是宾语 half(of) the big cream cake,故应置于 ate 之后,half 之前.half 置于名词前时,其后可以 加 of,也可以不加.
470. 学校正在采取有效措施来提高学生独立工作能力.
[误] The university is taking effective measures to improve the students' ability to work alone.
[正] The university is taking effective measures to improve the students' ability to work independently.
注:work alone 是"单独工作",work independently 或 do independentwork 才表示"独立工作".
471. 花园里仅有一棵树.
[误] There is an alone tree in the garden.

注:alone 仅用作表语,不作定语,而 lone 用作定语,表示"仅有的"意思.

[误] They are already to launch the spaceship.
[正] The are all ready to launch the spaceship.
注:already 是副词,而 ready 是形容词;两者的意义也有所不同,前者意为"已经",不可后接不定式.而后者是"准备好"的 意思,有时前加 all 表示程度.
