英语常用词汇正误用法(01) accommodation ◆这个城市的住房很贵。 误:An accommodation is expensive in this city. 正:Accommodation is expensive in this city. 正:Accommodations are expensive in this city. 析:accommodation 表示“住处”、“住宿”、“膳宿”等,在英国英语中是不可数名词,但在美国英语中通常用复数,一般不与不定冠词连用。如:This hospital has accommodation(s) for 500 patients.(这家医院有五百个床位)。They providegood accommodation(s).他们提供很好的膳宿服务。 accompany ◆他坚持要陪她去车站。 误:He insisted on accompanying her to go to the station. 正:He insisted on accompanying her to the station. 析:表示陪某人去某地,只说 accompany sb to a place即可,通常不说 accompany sb to do sth。 ◆我陪你去。 误:I will accompany with you. 正:I will accompany you. 析:accompany(陪伴, 伴随)是及物动词,其后无需用介词。又如:Thunder accompanies lighting.(雷声伴着闪电)。但是, 用于被动语态的 accompany 后面可接介词 with 或 by。如:Thelightning is accompanied with thunder.(电闪雷鸣)。He was accompanied by his secretary.(他有秘书随行)。 ◆坐在这儿陪我一会儿。 误:Sit here and accompany me for a while. 正:Sit here and keep me company me for a while. 析:accompany 在一般英汉词典均注为“陪伴”、“陪同”,但它在英英词典里的在此义方面的释义是:to go somewhere with someone, especially to look after them,所以不要一见到汉语的“陪伴”就用英语的 accompany 去套译。
