易错句子We need table for four, please.
正确表达We need a table for four, please.
table 是可数名词，单数形式前必须有限定词，不能光杆出现。这里泛指"一张四人桌"，要加不定冠词 a，正如中文"一张"这个量词不能省略。

易错句子Please see the below table.
正确表达Please see the table below.
below 作"在下面"讲时是副词（或介词），修饰名词只能后置，不能像中文"下面的表格"那样把"下面"直接放在名词前。英语说 the table below；同理还有 the picture above、the example below。
