× Yes, tall buildings are near my home.
✓ Yes, there are tall buildings near my home.
原句中缺少“there”來構成存在句(There be 結構)。英語描述“某處有某物”通常用“There is/are + 主語”。因為主語是複數“tall buildings”,應使用“there are”。建議記住存在句結構:There + be + 主語。
× Usually the top buildings are belongs to public housing instead of private housing.
✓ Usually the top floors belong to public housing rather than private housing.
原句有多個問題:1) “the top buildings” 用詞不當,應為“the top floors”(樓層)或“the taller buildings”;2) 動詞形式錯誤,“are belongs” 不正確,應用一般現在時“belong”;3) 用詞搭配上“instead of” 常用於替代,這裡用“rather than” 更自然。綜合改為“the top floors belong to public housing rather than private housing”。建議注意名詞搭配與動詞形式一致。
× Umm they are not independent house and they are high density.
✓ Umm, they are not independent houses and they are high-density.
問題:1) “independent house” 單複數錯誤,應與指代一致用複數“houses”;2) “high density” 作為形容詞修飾名詞時需連字符,應為“high-density”。建議注意可數名詞的單複數形式以及複合形容詞的拼寫(用連字符)。
× I seldom take photos of buildings, but I always take photos of sea and mountains because it made me feel relaxed letting my hair down.
✓ I seldom take photos of buildings, but I always take photos of the sea and the mountains because they make me feel relaxed and help me let my hair down.
原句時態與指代不一致:前半句為一般現在時,後半句使用“made”是過去式,應改為現在時“make/helps”;另外“sea and mountains” 前通常加定冠詞“the sea and the mountains”;“letting my hair down” 需與“help”或“make”搭配改為“help me let my hair down”。建議保持時態一致,定冠詞與動詞搭配要正確。
× Also, it offers me a chance to get away from the hustle and bustle of the outside world.
✓ Also, it offers me a chance to get away from the hustle and bustle of the outside world.
此句語法正確。僅提醒:此處的“it” 指代前文所述的拍攝海景和山景,語意合理,無需修改。
× Uh, that's a quite interesting question.
✓ Uh, that's quite an interesting question.
原句中“a quite interesting” 的冠詞與副詞順序錯誤。正確結構為“quite an interesting”(副詞+冠詞+形容詞+名詞)。建議記住固定搭配“quite + a/an + 形容詞 + 名詞”。
× Umm, I want to visit the building near Central because I like urban areas.
✓ Umm, I want to visit the buildings near Central because I like urban areas.
若指泛指中央區附近的建築,應用複數“buildings”或明確單數一座建築的時候保持上下文一致。原句前文多次談論多棟建築,改為複數更自然。若是特指一棟,則需用特定名稱。建議根據說話意圖選擇單數或複數並保持一致。
× Umm, I quite enjoy being some high density, high populated areas.
✓ Umm, I quite enjoy being in high-density, highly populated areas.
問題:1) “being some high density, high populated areas” 結構錯誤,應用介詞“in” 表示身處某類地區;2) “high density” 與“high populated” 應作複合形容詞,分別為“high-density”和“highly populated”(“highly” 作副詞修飾過去分詞“populated”)。建議使用“in + 形容詞短語” 並注意形容詞/副詞形式。
× Yes, I would like to live in a tall building because they usually have a better security measures and 24 hours security guards at the entrance.
✓ Yes, I would like to live in a tall building because they usually have better security measures and 24-hour security guards at the entrance.
問題:1) 主語“they” 指代“tall building” 單數不一致,應改為複數指代多棟建築或將“they”改為“it” 如果指單一建築;2) “a better security measures” 單複數和冠詞錯誤,應為“better security measures”;3) “24 hours security guards” 應為複合形容詞“24-hour”。根據原句意,我把“they”保留表示一般情況(tall buildings)並修正複數一致與複合形容詞。建議注意代詞指代一致和複數名詞與冠詞的搭配。
× However, if I live in a independent house, I may need to employ additional security systems.
✓ However, if I live in an independent house, I may need to employ additional security systems.
問題:冠詞使用錯誤。因為“independent” 以元音音素 /ɪ/ 開頭,應用不定冠詞“an” 而非“a”。建議根據隨後單詞的發音選擇“a”或“an”。
