最“Chinglish”的10个单词坑,你踩过几个?

1. Convenient:方便的——你方便吗?

【常见错误】Are you convenient?

【正确说法】Is it convenient for you?

Are you free?

2. health和body:健康、身体——易错为body

【正确说法】Vegetables are good for your health.

Vegetables are healthy.

3. climb和hike:爬山

【常见错误】Let’s climb a mountain.

Let’s hike up a mountain.

(climb这个爬山,需要手脚并用,我们所说爬山很少如此)

4. live和stay:住

【常见错误】I live in a hotel.

【正确说法】I stay in a hotel.

(短住用stay,长居才用live)

5. play和hang out:一起玩

【常见错误】Play with us

【正确说法】Hang out with us

6. Chinese:中国人

【常见错误】I am a Chinese.

【正确说法】I am Chinese.

(一般-ese结尾的国籍名词,不用a+名词指“某国人”)

7. drink和eat:喝汤

【常见错误】I’m drinking my soup.

【正确说法】I am eating my soup.

(浓汤用eat,可drink的汤,基本清如水)

8. one by one和one on one:一对一

【常见错误】We offer one by one lessons.

【正确说法】We offer one-on-one lessons.

9. try:试一试

【常见错误】Have a try.

【正确说法】Give it a go/try/shot.

(这个属于语法表达没有错,但不符合使用习惯的那类。)

10. so-so: 一般般

【常见错误】Just so-so.

【正确说法】It’s OK. / It’s not bad.

(这又是一个“我们很少这么说话”的“错误”)
