1.［误］—What can I do for you?

- Yes， please help me.

［正］— What can I do for you?

- I'd like to buy a sweater.

［析］ What can I do for you? 这一问句实际上用于的情景很多，要根据具体情况而定。如在商店中售货员讲这句话应译为：您想要点什么?在其他场合也可以被译为：我能为您做些什么?它的答语应是直接讲出想让对方提供的帮助。

2.［误］ Do you like to come with us tonight?

［正］ Would you like to come with us tonight?

［析］ Do you like … 问的是对方的习惯，如： Do you like swimming? Do you like collecting stamps? 而 would you like … 则是一次性的邀请、提议。

3. ［误］—Sorry， I've kept you waiting.

—Not at all.（根本没有。）

［正］ Sorry， I've kept you waiting.

—Never mind.（别介意。）

4.［误］—What's that man?

—He is Mike.

［正］—What's that man?

—He is a teacher.

［正］—Who's that man?

—He is Mike.(He is Mike's father.)

［析］由 what 提问是问的职业，由 who 提问的是姓名或身份。

5. ［误］— How much are they?

— Half a kilo， please.

［正］— How many bananas do you want?

- Half a kilo，Please.

［析］ How much are they? 问的是价格而不是实际物品的多少。

6. ［误］ I'm sorry， but is this the way to the park?

［正］ Excuse me， but is this the way to the park?

［析］ I'm sorry 是对已经做错了的事向对方道歉时的开始语。而 Excuse me 是在打扰对方之前表达歉意的话。

7.［误］—Have a good time tonight!

—You are the same.

［正］—Have a good time tonight!

—The same to you.

［析］ The same to you 意为我也祝您有个愉快的夜晚，它是美语中的习惯用法。

8.［误］—What's the problem?

—I've got a headache.

［正］—What's wrong with you?

—I've got a headache.

［析］ What's wrong with you? 是询问对方身体状态如何，而 What's the problem?是问对方遇到了什么麻烦。

9.［误］—Now， I'm back. Can I play?

—Perhaps. You'd better do your homework first.

［正］—Now， I'm back. Can I play?

—I'm afraid not. You'd better do your homework first.

［析］ Perhaps 是表示对一种拿不准的事态的推论，如： —Am I right? —Perhaps. 而 I'm afraid not 则表达一种不同意的态度。

10.［误］—How soon will you be ready?

—Two days.

［正］—How soon will you be ready?

- In two days.

［析］此题关键是要根据情景，身临其境，要注意的是对方问了什么，就应答什么。或答了什么就应问什么。 How soon 问的是"还有多久才能作完"，这时要用 in two days，即在两天之内即可以作完。如用 How long 提问，则答语可以用 two days。

11. ［误］—Would you mind if I have some time off?

—I don't mind.

—Monday and Tuesday of next week.

［正］—Would you mind if I have some time off?

—When exactly.

—Monday and Tuesday of next week.

［析］有的对话是复杂的，稍有不慎就有可能选错，而且英语中如选错了答案是不容易找出错来的。 I don't mind 是可以用来回答 Would you mind…这一提问的，但如仔细看一看则会发现我们要选用的不是陈述句而是疑问句。根据下面一句的答语来判定要用 when exactly? 什么时间，这样才能与下句中具体的时间相符合。
