[析] 这句话不能按照too…to的句型翻译为:我太高兴了以至于不想见你。而应译为:见到你太高兴了。又如:She is too honest to tell the truth? 应译为:她很诚实,不会不讲实话。
[误] Tom is too young not to join the army.
[正] Tom is too young to join the army.
[析] 这是too…to的正常用法,太如何如何以至于不能如何。

[正] I went to the hospital to see my old friend. He was ill in hospital.
[析] 在句中表示某动作的目的时,要用不定式而不能用for加动名词。
[误] Could you help me to find a chair to sit.
[正] Could you help me to find a chair to sit on.
[析] 当不定式作后置定语时,将不定式放于名词之后。如果不定式中的动词是不及物动词,则其后面的介词不要省略。如:I sat on the chair. 这样的用法还有:I want to find a room to live in. I want to find a pen to write with.
[误] When mother was about leaving the baby cried suddenly.
[正] When mother was about to leave the baby cried suddenly.
[析] be about to 是表达较近的即将发生的动作,可用来表示将来时,或按计划、安排的事。
[误] This work is difficult to be done.
[正] This work is difficult to do.
[析] 在不定式作宾语时,下列情况常用主动语态表示被动。① 句子的主语即是不定式动作的执行者,如:I have a lot of letters to write. ② 句中的宾语是不定式中动作的执行者,如:Could you find me a job to do? ③ 在形容词之后的不定式,如:English is difficult to learn.
[误] Would you like to see a film with us? Yes, I'd love.
[正] Would you like to see a film with us?Yes, I'd love to.
[析] 在口语简答语中要将不定式符号保留,如: I had to (不得不作) I'm going to (打算作) I used to (过去习惯作) I'd love to (喜欢作) I hope to (希望作某事) I'll be glad to (高兴作)
[误] Did you see someone to do this work for me?
[正] Did you see someone do this work for me?
[析] 在感观动词之后常接不带to的不定式。这些词是see, look at, watch, hear, listen to, feel, notice。
[析] shop作买东西讲时,要用go shopping,其后不要加所购买的东西。这样的用法还有: go boating 划船 go sailing 航海 go skating 滑冰 go shooting 射击 go dancing 去跳舞 go fishing 钓鱼 go swimming 去游泳…… 不要用错,也不要改为其他式,因为这是习惯用法。
[误] When the teacher came into the classroom, the students stopped to talk.
[正] When the teacher came into the classroom. the students stopped talking.
[析] stop to do something 是停下来去做某事,而stop doing something 则是停止做某事。
[误] I didn't remember closing the door, so the thief came into the room directly.
[正] I didn't remember to close the door, so the thief came into the room directly.
[析] remember后接不定式是记着去做某事,即该动作并没有完成。而remember 后接动名词则表明该动作已经作完了。如: Do remember to turn off the light, before you leave. 即在你离开前记着去关灯。而关灯的动作并没有做。I remember meeting you somewhere. 我记得在某处见过你。而相见一事已经作完了。相同用法还有forget。
[误] When I finished to do this work I would go to play football.
[正] When I finished doing this work I would go to play football.
[析] 在英语中有些动词后要接动名词作宾语。在初中范围主要有两个动词finish和enjoy, 千万不要与like相比。因为like作动词"喜欢"用时,其后接动名词表示习惯性动作,接不定式表示一次性特殊的动作,而would you like后面则一定要用不定式。
[误] When he finished his homework, he went on playing the football.
[正] When he finished his homework, he went on to play football.
[析] go on to do something 是做完一件事紧跟着做另一件事。而go on doing something 是在做一件事的过程中被打断后接着再继续做这件事。
