× I don't really show interest in this specific subject, especially when they contain a lot of obscure knowledge.
✓ I don't really show interest in this subject, especially when it contains a lot of obscure knowledge.
句子中主语是单数的“this subject”,却用了复数代词“they”,代词与先行词在人称和数上不一致。应使用单数代词“it”。建议注意先行词的数(单/复数),选择相应的代词。
× However, I do regard it as a practical subject because it can help us know more about the society we stayed in as well as.
✓ However, I do regard it as a practical subject because it can help us learn more about the society we live in.
原句中“we stayed in”时态不合且不自然;结尾使用“as well as”没有接完整的内容导致残缺。将动词改为现在时“live in”与前文一致;去掉多余的“as well as”,并用更自然的“learn more about”替换“know more about”。
× Yes, I think it's very practical and it can be applied into many aspects in our daily lives.
✓ Yes, I think it's very practical and it can be applied to many aspects of our daily lives.
英语中“apply”常与介词“to”连用,表示“应用于……”,而不是“apply into”。另外“aspects in our daily lives”应为“aspects of our daily lives”。建议记住固定搭配“apply to”和“aspects of”。
× For instance, we can use the knowledge about navigating the city when we plan a itinerary for ourselves, which can help us boost the efficiency of our traveling.
✓ For instance, we can use knowledge about navigating the city when we plan an itinerary for ourselves, which can help us improve the efficiency of our travel.
“a itinerary”中的不定冠词与以元音音素开头的单词搭配错误,应为“an itinerary”。“the knowledge”可简化为“knowledge”。此外“boost the efficiency of our traveling”不太地道,改为“improve the efficiency of our travel”。建议注意元音辅音发音决定使用“a”还是“an”,并使用更常见搭配。
× Yes, I have exposed to this subject since I was a student.
✓ Yes, I have been exposed to this subject since I was a student.
“expose”是及物动词,常用于被动结构“be exposed to”。现在完成时从句表示从过去持续到现在,应使用现在完成进行或完成被动,这里用现在完成被动“have been exposed”。建议掌握“be exposed to”的被动用法和完成时态结构。
× To be honest, it is one of the mandatory subjects in our school's curriculum and it allows us to have a better understanding of the places where we live, which can also connect us.
✓ To be honest, it is one of the mandatory subjects in our school's curriculum and it allows us to have a better understanding of the places where we live, which can also help connect us.
原句最后“which can also connect us”中“connect”需要有宾语或被动结构,直接用“connect us”语义不够自然。改为“help connect us”更符合英语表达,表示“有助于把我们联系起来”。建议使用固定搭配“help + 动词原形”或调整为被动/不定式结构。
× Teaching geography will be a very demanding job for me, especially when I lack the depth of this subject.
✓ Teaching geography would be a very demanding job for me, especially since I lack depth in this subject.
句子中情态与语气不太自然。原句用将来时“will be”与主观意愿不符,改为“would be”更委婉;“I lack the depth of this subject”搭配不自然,改为“lack depth in this subject”。建议注意情态动词(will/would)在虚拟或假设语气中的使用,并用更自然的介词搭配“depth in”。
× However, I do think it will be fun for all those people who are interested in this subject so that they can, uh, gain some fun in it.
✓ However, I do think it would be fun for people who are interested in this subject, and they could enjoy it.
原句中“so that they can...gain some fun in it”结构冗长且不自然,“gain some fun in it”不是地道表达。使用“would be”更符合假设语气,改为“they could enjoy it”更自然简洁。建议避免直译表达,使用常见动词如“enjoy”。
× No, I won't do it because I am not interested in geography, but I do hope I can gain a deeper understanding of other cultures by traveling around the world so that I can have in some personal experience.
✓ No, I won't, because I am not interested in geography, but I do hope I can gain a deeper understanding of other cultures by traveling around the world so that I can have some personal experiences.
原句结尾“have in some personal experience”结构错误且单复数用法不当。应为“have some personal experiences”或“gain some personal experience”。另外“I won't do it”中可省略“do it”或保持为“I won't”更自然。建议注意动词短语搭配和名词单复数的一致性。
