我們的老闆人很好,常常給我們建議。
(不好)Our boss is nice. She always gave you advice.
(好)Our boss is nice. She always gave us advice.
4、When
兩件事同時發生的時候,自然就想到要用when。但這個字經常是多餘或錯誤的。
她到美國時,去拜訪一位老朋友。
(不好)When she went to the U.S., she visited an old friend.(went to是一個短暫動作,這是一種很不自然的表達。)
(好)She went to the U.S. and visited an old friend.
5、Really
這個字基本上沒有多大作用。例如:
要在大家面前演講,他真的很緊張。
(不好)He was really nervous about speaking in public.
直接把really去掉,改成:
(正常)He was nervous about speaking in public.
如果要表現出程度差異:
(強)He was panicky about speaking in public. 或 Public speaking scared him.
