今天,继续跟着Scott粉碎几个Chinglish
1跑两圈
I run two circles.×
错误原因:用circles 是典型的中式英文,Lap的本意是大腿,跑两圈可以说run two laps,另外笔记本电脑,可以放腿上办公的电脑就是laptop。
I run two laps.
I run two laps every day.
我每天都跑两圈。
2睡过头
Sleepover ×
错误原因:Sleepover是"过夜""留宿"的意思。
Mom, can I sleepover at Amy's house?
妈,我可以到Amy家过夜吗?
Oversleep
Did you oversleep again?
是不是又睡过头了?
3工作忙
My work is so busy. ×
错误原因:work不是人,work本身不能很忙,是人很忙。
I've been so busy at work.
I hope that I can finally find some free time too.
I've been so busy at work recently.
我希望我也能找到空闲时间,我最近一直在忙工作。
