　　[正] I want to know if he will come here tomorrow.

　　[析] if所引起的如果是賓語從句則不能用一般現(xiàn)在時表示將來。

　　[誤] I want to know if it will rain tomorrow he will come or not.

　　[正] I want to know if it rains tomorrow he will come or not.

　　[析] 這里的if從句是整個賓語從句的條件狀語，所以，還應(yīng)用一般時表示將來。

　　ill

　　[誤] He spent many years looking after his ill father.

　　[析] 中文中幾天以后可以完成，或幾天后來取，在譯為英文時都不要用after，而要用in.如： He will be back in a few days.

　　in into

　　作為副詞應(yīng)用in，而不能用into，如： Come in, please. 又若在句中不涉及到動詞的位置，只是表達(dá)空間的位置時用in，如： The teacher in the office is my mother. 但在go, run, come, walk, dive等詞后則要用into. 如： She dives into the river.

　　instead

　　[誤] The boy stayed in bed all day instead to go to school.

　　[正] The beer here is not good, so I drink wine instead.

　　interest
