易错句子May I question you a question?
正确表达May I ask you a question?
“问问题”在英语中固定说 ask a question,不能说 question a question。question 作动词时是“询问/审问某人(question somebody)”或“质疑(question whether...)”,不用来表示中性的“问某人一个问题”;而且它不能带双宾语。所以要表达“能问你一个问题吗?”应说 May I ask you a question?

易错句子The police questioned him the theft.

question 作“询问/审问”解时,后接人的宾语,再接 about + 事情,即 question somebody about something,表示“就某事询问某人”。汉语“询问他某事”常不带“关于”,但英语不能省略 about,也不能说 question somebody something(双宾语)。

易错句子The manager questioned to me about the report.
正确表达The manager questioned me about the report.
question 是及物动词,后面直接跟被问的人作宾语,即 question somebody (about something),不加介词 to。汉语“向某人询问”中的“向”容易让学生加 to,但英语里没有 question to somebody 这种结构;要去掉 to。
针对动词 question 的“提问/询问”义项;answer 表示“回答”,是该义项的直接反义词。若 question 表示“质疑”,其反义词常为 believe、accept 等,与本条不直接对应。
