× There is no no tall buildings near my home.
✓ There are no tall buildings near my home.
句子主语是複數“tall buildings”,而英式/美式英文在表示存在時使用“There is/There are”。當主語為複數或可數複數時應用“there are”。原句還有重複的“no no”,應刪去一個。建議練習:判斷主語單複數,再選擇 there is 或 there are。
× Well, actually no, because I don't love the, uh, architecture things. I like the nature views.
✓ Well, actually no, because I don't love architecture. I like natural scenery.
“architecture things” 和“the nature views” 是不地道的用法。應使用名詞短語“architecture”或“architectural things”(若要強調事物),以及“natural scenery”或“nature views”中的“nature”不加定冠詞且用形容詞形式更自然。中文建議:用正確的名詞或形容詞+名詞搭配,避免口語中不規範的重複詞。
× it shows there is very tall, umm, and it's very, uh, great.
✓ it shows that it is very tall, and it's very impressive.
原句中用法不完整:'there is very tall' 後面缺少名詞,且描述一棟建築應用代詞或名詞(it/that building)而不是 'there is'。應改為 'it is very tall' 或 'there is a very tall building'。中文建議:表達某物有某特性時,若已提到該物,用 'it is ...';若引入新事物,用 'there is a ...'。
× So I really want to wheel it there and take picture.
✓ So I really want to go there and take pictures.
原句中'wheel it there' 用法不當,應為 'go there' 表示想去;'take picture' 應為可數名詞複數 'take pictures' 或加不定冠詞 'take a picture'。中文建議:動詞搭配要選常用搭配,比如 'go there',拍照用 'take pictures'。
× I'm very afraid of the highest level.
✓ I'm very afraid of heights.
原句 'afraid of the highest level' 不自然,英語慣用說法是 'afraid of heights'(懼高)。若要說具體樓層,應說 'I'm afraid of high floors' 或 'the top floor'。中文建議:記住慣用搭配 'afraid of heights',描述樓層時用 'top floor' 或 'high floor'。
× So, umm, I prefer living the land, like, uh, the first floor, second floor building.
✓ So, I prefer living on the ground, like in a first- or second-floor building.
原句 'living the land' 不正確,應使用 'living on the ground' 或 'living on the ground floor' 表示靠近地面。'first floor, second floor building' 應用連字符和介詞 'in a first- or second-floor building' 或簡化為 'a low-rise building'。中文建議:使用正確介詞 'on the ground' 或 'on the first floor',並用連字符連接樓層形容詞。
