英語四級改錯題常考要點 介詞
英語學習的過程中,大家認爲最難的就是語法部分。介詞是考試中出現的比較多的一個部分,而其中考的最多的就是介詞的固定搭配問題。
(一) 介詞搭配
例:The teeth in the upper jaw function together those in the lower jaw to cut, tear, and grind food.
分析:和…一起,所以together in應該爲together with,
例:The Allegheny Mountain range is rich of coal.
分析:be rich of 改爲be rich in
例:The rotation of the Earth on its axis is responsible to the alternation of periods of light and darkness.
分析:responsible to 應改爲responsible for。形容詞responsible後接名詞作賓語時要加介詞for。
(二) 最重要的兩個介詞
1、介詞of 多餘或者遺漏
例:Mosquitoes usually lay eggs, singly or in batches, on top stagnant water.
分析:on top 應改爲top of stagnant。on top of …是因定表達法,意爲“在…上面”。
例:Christopher Plummer is a Canadian actor who has starred in stage, television, and film productions on both sides the Atlantic Ocean.
分析:sides the 應改爲sides of the。 sides爲名詞,the Atlantic Ocean也是名詞,中間明顯少了一個介詞。
2、介詞by
一種情況表示被動,be+過去分詞+by
另一種表示通過……的方式, by doing
例:The ceremony of marriage in the United States can be performed from a justice of the peace.
分析:performed from 應改爲performed by。謂語動詞是被動式,performed的動作執行者應該由介詞by來引導。
例:Along the east coast ,American Indian women's councils could veto a declaration of war at refusing to supply moccasins and field rations.
分析:refusing to 應改爲by refusing。通過拒絕提供鞋子和糧食,表示通過某種方式做某事要用介詞by,故將at refusing 改爲by refusing。
例:Algebra is the branch of mathematics concerned with operations on sets of numbers or other elements that are often represented at symbols.
分析:at應改爲by。動作的發出者應該用介詞by來引導
