× I seldom send emails, but if the situations allows, I am inclined to send emails in advance for an essential meetings and more importantly, I can send emails initially to check whether the issues can be tackled at first.
✓ I seldom send emails, but if the situation allows, I am inclined to send emails in advance for essential meetings. More importantly, I can send an email first to check whether the issues can be tackled.
错误类型:主谓一致(situations allows -> situation allows)与单复数错误(situations -> situation;an essential meetings -> essential meetings/ an essential meeting)。 说明:原句中“the situations allows”主语用复数但动词用了单数形式,且语境应为单一情况用单数“situation”。“an essential meetings”中同时使用了不定冠词“an”和复数名词“meetings”,应改为复数去掉冠词或改为单数“an essential meeting”。另外,“send emails initially to check whether the issues can be tackled at first”冗余且不自然,改为“send an email first to check whether the issues can be tackled”。 建议:注意主语单复数与动词形式一致;冠词与名词数要匹配;避免重复表达(initially/at first)并使句子更简洁。
× Something is unclear. I tend to send an e-mail to see whether there can be, uh, areas that can be improved. Additionally, if I need to arrange a meeting or, uh, need some written record of the documents, I tend.
✓ If something is unclear, I tend to send an e-mail to see whether there are areas that can be improved. Additionally, if I need to arrange a meeting or need a written record of documents, I will.
错误类型:句子结构与主谓一致/时态问题。 说明:原句中开头独立的短句“Something is unclear.”与后文衔接不自然,合并为条件句“If something is unclear”更符合表达。短语“whether there can be areas”用词生硬,应改为“whether there are areas”。句尾“I tend.”不完整,缺少动作或时态,改为“I will(do so)”或“I tend to do so”。 建议:使用完整句子并保持时态一致;用更自然的固定搭配(there are)。
× It is prevailing in China no matter is in daily life or in professional areas because of the convenience and accessibility of e-mail. For instance, people can e-mail with clients from all over the world to close the business.
✓ E-mail is prevalent in China both in daily life and in professional contexts because of its convenience and accessibility. For instance, people can e-mail clients all over the world to close business deals.
错误类型:词汇搭配与句子结构、介词使用问题。 说明:原句“It is prevailing”用法不当,应该用“prevalent”或“common”。短语“no matter is in daily life or in professional areas”结构错误,应改为“both in daily life and in professional contexts”。“people can e-mail with clients”中介词“with”不必要,通常说“e-mail clients”。“to close the business”也不自然,改为“to close business deals”。 建议:选择正确的形容词(prevalent/common),使用并列结构表达对比,注意常用搭配(e-mail clients; close business deals)。
× I am inclined to believe that e-mail will be continue its popularity in the future because it can be easily used and it is accessible as well as efficient. People can use emails to tackle a lot of things, which is a good.
✓ I am inclined to believe that e-mail will continue to be popular in the future because it is easy to use, accessible, and efficient. People can use e-mails to handle many things, which is good.
错误类型:动词形式与句子结构问题(动词不定式/被动/形容词使用)。 说明:原句“will be continue its popularity”混用被动和不定式,正确结构为“will continue to be popular”或“will continue its popularity”。“it can be easily used”更自然的表达是“it is easy to use”。最后“which is a good”中的冠词不当且表达不完整,应为“which is good”。 建议:注意动词短语的正确顺序(continue to do / continue doing / continue to be + adj),选择更自然的表达(easy to use),去掉多余的冠词并使短语完整。
