■他不喜歡同她一起出去。
誤:He dislikes to go out with her.
正:He dislikes going out with her.
析:與 like to do sth=like doing sth不同,dislike(不喜歡) 后接動詞時,在現代英語中通常只用動名詞,不用不定式。盡 管偶爾可見后接不定式的用例,但已屬過時用法,學生應試時 應避免。事實上現在已有不少正規考題都將 dislike to dosth 納入改錯范圍,如1996年碩士研究生入學試題(改錯題): Some bosses dislike to allow people to share theirresponsibilities; they keep all important matterstightly in their own hands.(注:dislike 后不定式用錯,應改為動名詞)。
■他不喜歡別人對他那樣說話,是嗎?
誤:He dislikes being spoken to like that, does he?
正:He dislikes being spoken to like that, doesn’t he?
析:陳述句部分有 dislike 時,其反意問句的疑問部分要用否定式。類例:It’s unfair, isn’t it? (這不公平,是嗎?)
■我不愛聽你吹口哨。
誤:I dislike when you whistle.
正:I dislike it when you whistle.
析:dislike 在現代英語中通常只用作及物動詞,其后不能沒有賓語。注:上句中 when 從句不能視為 dislike的賓語從句,它是一個狀語從句(when=當...的時候),其中的 it 代替 you whistle 這件事。
■我非常討厭打牌賭博。
誤:I have a strong dislike to play cards for money.
正:I have a strong dislike to playing cards for money.
析:在 have a dislike to(不喜歡)中,to是介詞,不是不定式符號。注:也可用 have a dislike for [of](不喜歡)。
