常见错误Common mistakes
易错句子His new jacket is more flash than mine.正确表达His new jacket is flasher than mine.
flash 是单音节形容词,比较级按构词规则加 -er 变成 flasher;more 只和双音节、多音节形容词连用(如 more beautiful)。把汉语的“更……”逐字译成 more flash 不符合英语比较级规则。
易错句子He likes to flash in front of his classmates.正确表达He likes to be flash in front of his classmates.
flash 作动词意思是“闪光、亮一下”,不能表示“显摆、招摇”;要表达“招摇的、俗艳的”这个意思,须用形容词 flash 作表语,前面加系动词 be,即 be flash,如本句 to be flash in front of his classmates。
