10 个最常见的中式英语错误

一句话答案最常见的中式英语是逐字翻译中文造成的：I very like it 应说 I like it very much，开灯是 turn on the light，「有很多人」是 There are many people，递东西说 Here you are。

中式英语（Chinglish）大多不是因为单词不会，而是按中文的顺序和搭配一个字一个字地翻译。下面 10 个是中小学生说得最多的，每个都写了错在哪、怎么说才对。

1. I very like it.

中文说「我很喜欢」，「很」放在动词前面；英语的 very 不能直接修饰 like 这样的动词。

✗I very like it.

✓I like it very much.

very much 放在句末。也可以说 I really like it.，really 可以放在动词前。

2. Open the light. / Close the TV.

中文用「开、关」，英语里开关电器要用 turn on / turn off。open 和 close 是打开、关上门窗和盒子。

✗Please open the light.

✓Please turn on the light.

开灯、开电视用 turn on。

✗Close the TV, please.

✓Turn off the TV, please.

关电器用 turn off。open / close 用在门、窗、书上：open the door。

3. How to say it in English?

「用英语怎么说」直接翻成 How to say…? 是不完整的句子，问句需要主语和助动词。

✗How to say it in English?

✓How do you say it in English?

完整的问句：How do you say … in English?

4. There have many people.

中文的「有」既表示「拥有」也表示「存在」，英语里分得很清楚：表示某处有某物用 There is / There are，have 只表示某人拥有。

✗There have many people in the park.

✓There are many people in the park.

表示「某地有」用 There be，后面是复数用 are。

5. I am agree.

agree 本身就是动词，「我同意」直接说 I agree，前面不加 am。

✗I am agree with you.

✓I agree with you.

agree 是动词，不需要 be 动词。

6. Give you.

把东西递给别人时，中文说「给你」，英语有固定的说法。

✗Give you.

✓Here you are.

递东西时说 Here you are. 或 Here it is.。

7. Wait me.

wait 后面不能直接跟人，要加 for。

✗Please wait me.

✓Please wait for me.

等某人：wait for somebody。

8. I am very exciting.

-ing 形容词说「事情让人怎么样」，-ed 形容词说「人感到怎么样」。说自己的感受要用 -ed。

✗I am very exciting.

✓I am very excited.

I am exciting 的意思变成了「我这个人很让人兴奋」。

✗The film is very bored.

✓The film is very boring.

电影本身让人觉得无聊，用 boring。

9. Although…, but… / Because…, so…

中文习惯「虽然……但是……」「因为……所以……」成对用，英语里只能用其中一个。

✗Although it was raining, but we went out.

✓Although it was raining, we went out.

although 和 but 只留一个。

✗Because I was ill, so I didn't go to school.

✓I was ill, so I didn't go to school.

because 和 so 只留一个，也可以说 Because I was ill, I didn't go to school.

10. He is ten years.

说年龄可以只说数字，要说完整就加 old，不能只加 years。

✗He is ten years.

✓He is ten years old.

或者直接说 He is ten.

常见问题

中式英语外国人能听懂吗？

很多能猜出来，但会听起来很别扭，有些还会造成误解，考试里也会扣分。从小养成地道的说法，比以后再改容易得多。

怎么避免说出中式英语？

不要一个字一个字地翻译，而是整句记住英语里的说法。学一个新说法时，连同它用在什么场合一起记，比如递东西时说 Here you are。
