常见错误

v. (动词)

1. 作为英语专业的学生,我们必须很好地掌握英语。

   误 As students of English, we must master the language very well.

   正 As students of English, we must master the language.

   正 As students of English, we must gain the mastery of the language.

   正 As students of English, we must have a good command of the language.

   析 master已含“精通”的意思,不必加very well,可以改用gain the mastery of 或 have a good command of等惯用语。但其中的介词 of不能换用in。

2. 这位熟练工人教我们怎样掌握机器。

   误 The advanced worker taught us how to master the machine.

   正 The advanced worker taught us how to operate the machine.

   析 master一般指“精通”,是对知识而言,而没有具体地“操纵”“掌握机器”的意思。可以说master a language; 但不可说master a machine〔tractor〕等,应改为operate。
