英文常見病句300句精選十則二十二
1. How do you explain her eccentric behaviors? (x)
How do you explain her eccentric behavior't.(√)
behavior表“行為”，是不可數(shù)名詞。
2. Your behavior is like an idiot. (x)
Your behavior is like an idiot's. (√)
You behave like an idiot. (√)
英文的語言邏輯:某人可以像白癡(因白癡也是人).但行為是“物”，不能像白癡，故無法對(duì)應(yīng)。上述兩個(gè)正確的例句中，your behavior 可以和 an idiot's(省略behavior)對(duì)應(yīng); you可以和 an idiot對(duì)應(yīng)。
3. He srore to find out the truth on the back of the rumor.(x)
He swore to find out the truth behind the rumor. (√)
on the back of sth是指“具體物體的背面”。the truth / motive behind sth是指“某事/物背后的真相/動(dòng)機(jī)”，為固定用法。
4. I believe in George this time because he seems to be telling the truth.(x)
I believe George this time because he seems to be telling the truth.(√)
believe in sb / sth是“相信某人/物存在”，如:I believe in God / ghosts.(我相信上帝/鬼魂存在著。) believe sb是“相信某人所說的話”。另外believe in sb也有“信賴某人(的能力/人格)”的意思，如:We want a President that we can believe in.(我們要的是一個(gè)可以信賴的總統(tǒng)。)
5. Quite a few people still believe capital punishment.(x)
Quite a few people still believe in capital punishment. (√)
believe sth是“相信某事/物是真的”，如:I believe nothing she says.(我不相信她說的任何一句話。) believe in sth是“相信某事/物有益或有效”，所以有“主張”的意思，如:As far as losing weight is concerned, I believe in taking exercise. (就減肥而言，我主張運(yùn)動(dòng)。)
6. Can you believe in your eyes?(x)
Can you believe your eyes?(√)
can / could (not / hardly) believe your eyes / ears，即“能不能相信自己的親眼所見或親且所聞”，常用于否定句或疑問句中，為固定用法。
7. I deeply believe that nature will bite back.(x)
I firmly believe that nature will bite back.(√)
deeply believe是中文式的說法.英文無此說法。要說“對(duì)某事/物深信不疑”，正確的說法是 firmly / sincerely / strongly / truly believe (that).....
8. The dictionary belongs to that shelf.(x)
The dictionary belongs on that shelf. (√)
belong to sb是“屬于某人”的意思，如:The encyclopedia belongs to me.(這套百科全書屬于我。) belong on / in是“(該)歸位在某個(gè)地方”的意思。
9. Please go back where you belong to. (x)

belong here / there / where (不加to)，是固定用法。
10. When you get off, don't forget your personal belonging. (x)
When you get off, don't forget your personal belongings. (√)
belongings指“某人的財(cái)物或隨身帶的東西”，用復(fù)數(shù)。belonging(不可數(shù)名詞)則見于sense of belonging這個(gè)詞組，是“歸屬感”的意思，如:I have no sense of belonging working there.(在那里工作我沒有歸屬感。)
