1.我没有经验。误：I have no experience. 正：I don't know much about that. 语法提示： I have no experience这句话听起来古里古怪，因为您只需要说那方面我懂得不多，或者这方面我不在行，就行了：I am not really an expert in this area. 2.现在几点钟了？误：What time is it now? 正：What time is it, please? 语法提示： What time is it now是一个直接从汉语翻译过的句子，讲英语的时候没有必要说now，因为您不可能问what time was it yesterday, 或者what time is it tommorow?所以符合英语习惯的说法是：请问现在几点了？还有一种说法是：How are we doing for time?这句话在有时间限制的时候特别合适。 3.明天我有事情要做。误：I have something to do tomorrow. 正：I am tied up all day tomorrow. 语法提示：用I have something to do来表示您很忙，这也完全是中国式的说法。因为每时每刻我们都有事情要做，躺在那里睡大觉也是事情。所以您可以说我很忙，脱不开身：I'm tied up.还有其他的说法：I can't make it at that time. I'd love to, but I can't, I have to stay at home. 4.我的英语很糟糕。误：My English is poor. 正：I am not 100% fluent, but at least I am improving. 语法提示：有人开玩笑说，全中国人最擅长的一句英文是：My English is poor. 外国人遇到自己外语不好的情况，他们会说: I am still having a few problem, but I am getting better. 5.你是做什么工作的呢？误：What's your job? 正：Are you working at the moment? 语法提示： what's your job这种说法难道也有毛病吗?是的。因为如果您的谈话对象刚刚失业，如此直接的问法会让对方有失面子，所以您要问：目前您是在上班吗?Are you working at the moment?接下来您才问：目前您在哪儿工作呢?Where are you working these days?或者您从事哪个行业呢?What line of work are you in? 6.我没有英文名。误：I haven't English name. 正：I don't have an English name. 语法提示：许多人讲英语犯这样的错误，从语法角度来分析，可能是语法功底欠缺，因为have在这里是实义动词，而并不是在现在完成时里面那个没有意义的助动词。所以，这句话由肯定句变成否定句要加助动词。明白道理是一回事，习惯是另一回事，请您再说几话：我没有钱;I don't have any money.我没有兄弟姐妹;I don't have any brothers or sisters.我没有车。I don't have a car. 7.这个价格对我挺合适的。误：The price is very suitable for me. 正：The price is right. 语法提示： suitable(合适的、相配的)最常见的用法是以否定的形式出现在告示或通知上，如：下列节目儿童不宜。The following programme is not suitable for children. 这句话用后面的说法会更合适。 8.用英语怎么说？误：How to say? 正：How do you say this in English? 语法提示： How to say是在中国最为泛滥成灾的中国式英语之一，这绝不是地道的英语说法。同样的句子有：请问这个词如何拼写?How do you spell that please?请问这个单词怎么读?How do you pronounce this word? 9.我想我不行。误：I think I can't. 正：I don't think I can. 语法提示：汉语里说“我想我不会”的时候，英语里面总是说“我不认为我会”。以后您在说类似的英语句子的时候，只要留心，也会习惯英语的表达习惯的。 10.你愿意参加我们的晚会吗？误：Would you like to join our party on Friday? 正：Would you like to come to our party on Friday night? 语法提示： join往往是指参加俱乐部或者协会，如：join a health club; join the Communist Party.事实上，常常与party搭配的动词是come 或者go。如go a wild party，或者come to a Christmas Party。
