[误] When you have had dinner with an American friend and want to leave you may say: “Excuse me I‘ll go first”

[正] When you have had dinner with an American friend and want to leave you may say: “Excuse me I have to go”

[析] 这两句答语都是正确的,其关键不是语法,而是习惯问题。如果在这样的场合你讲 I’ll go first 朋友们会迷惑不解,而 I have to go 则表示由于外界的特殊原因而造成的你要离去,而你本人则十分不愿做此事。

[误] - Would you like to come to dinner tonight?

- I‘d like to, and I’m too busy

[正] - Would you like to come to dinner tonight?

- I‘d like to, but I’m too busy

[析] I‘m too busy 与 I’d like to 在意义上正好相反。所以要用转折连词。这里考查了对词义合乎逻辑的表达能力。所以要强调语言环境,更要强调在语言的基础上的词语辨析。

[误] - Where‘s Deter

- Deter will come with us tonight but he isn’t very sure yet
