中英之鑒 中式英語(yǔ)之鑒440

[誤] Clothing made of natural fibres has a great advantage on that made of artificial material.

[正] Clothing made of natural fibres has a great advantage over that made of artificial material.

注：have an advantage over sb./sth.(對(duì)某人/某物占有優(yōu)勢(shì))是固定詞組，其中over 不能用于其他介詞取代。advantage 在這里是可數(shù)名詞，必要時(shí)可用復(fù)數(shù)”值得注意的是，have the advantage 這一說法須后接of ，說明advantage 的內(nèi)容。另外，takeadvantage of sb./sth.意為“利用某人/某物”，這時(shí)advantage 之前沒有冠詞。
