常见错误Common mistakes
易错句子On contrary, I think he is right.正确表达On the contrary, I think he is right.
on the contrary 是固定短语,其中的定冠词 the 不能省略;汉语没有冠词,学习者常常漏掉。补上 the 后短语才成立。
易错句子He is very diligent. On the contrary, his brother is lazy.正确表达He is very diligent. On the other hand, his brother is lazy.
on the contrary 用来否定或反驳对方刚说过的话,而不是把两件事并列起来作对比;这里只是提出另一种相反的情形,应该用 on the other hand。改后既保留了对比的意思,也符合 on the contrary 的用法。
