you come from? 回答用 I came from the library.
beat
［误］ We have won your class. ［正］ We have beaten your class. ［正］ We have won the game.
［析］ win 是胜过之意，它是及物动词，但其后的宾语只能接比赛、战争、奖品、奖金的名称，如：Which team won the football match? 而 beat 指打败对手、敌人……如：My brother beat me at poker.(要注意的是，beat 的过去式与原形相同，而过去分词为 beaten)。 ［误］ The ball beat me badly. ［正］ The ball hit me badly.
［误］ He used to hit the little boy black and blue. ［正］ He used to beat the little boy black and blue.
［析］ beat 指打击多次，而hit则为击中对方的一次性打击。
beautiful
［误］ He is a beautiful boy. ［正］ He is a handsome boy.
［析］ 我们可以讲 She is a beautiful girl. This is a beautiful park. 但要讲男人的“英俊”时要用 handsome.
because
［误］ The reason why I was late is because I was ill. ［正］ The reason why I was late is that I was ill. ［误］ Because it was Sunday, so the park was crowded. ［正］ Because it was Sunday the park was crowded.
［析］ 这种错误是因为中文的习惯与英语的表述法不同，中文常讲我来晚了的原因是因为我病了，而英文中的第二个因为要用 that 代替。又因中文常讲因为……所以……，而英文中用了因为就不能再用所以了，同样用了“所以”也就不要再用“因为”一词。例如：Because we study hard, we passed the exam easily. 或者：We study hard so we passed the exam easily
because, because of
because 后要接从句，例如：We like physics because we can learn a lot of new ideas. 而because of 后要接名词作介词宾语，如：He is not at school because of the illness.
before
11
［误］ We have two hours to kill before we will go home. ［正］ We have two hours to kill before we go home. ［析］ kill time 意为“消磨时光”。
英语状语从句中要用一般现在时表示将来的动作。如：If it rains we will not go to the park. ［误］ I did this work two days before. ［正］ I did this work two days ago.
［析］ 用 ago 组成的时间状语其主句中的谓语动词要用过去时，而 before 引起的时间状语其主句中的谓语动词多用完成时，如：I has done this work a few days before.
before long, long before
before long 是“不久”之意，例如：I shall go to America before long. 而 long before 则是“很久很久”之意，如：We knew this teacher long before we saw him. (我们在看到这位老师之前很久就知道他了。)
begin
［误］ The meeting will begin from Monday. ［正］ The meeting will begin on Monday. ［误］ The film has begun for ten minutes. ［正］ The film has been on for ten minutes.
［析］ begin 是瞬间动词，所以它的完成时态不能接表示一段时间的状语，如：The film has begun. 这句话是对的，即“电影已经开始”。但要讲已经开始10分钟了则要用 has been on 即“上演了10分钟”。
begin, start
begin 与 start 两词后面加不定式或动名词都可以，且意思并无区别，但在表达习惯时接动名词的用法较多，如：How old wern you when you first started learning English? 但这两个词的进行时态中则多用不定式，如：I was beginning to get hungry. 但如果句子的主语是物而不是人，则多用不定式，如：The ice began to melt. It started to get dark before we got to school. 当动词是表达某种心理状态时，要用不定式，如：The student began to understand his mistakes.
［误］ They study hard in the class from the beginning to the end. ［正］ They study hard in the class from beginning to end.
12
［析］ from beginning to end 是习惯用法，即自始至终，不要加冠词，但如单独使用则要加冠词，例如：At the beginning,the teacher gave us an exam.
behind
［误］ He missed the class because he was behind the time. ［正］ He missed the class because he was behind time. ［析］ behind time 一短语意为“晚了”，而 behind the times 意为“落后于时代”。behind 是介词同时又是副词，如 Come out from behind the door(介词). He's a long way behind(副词). He fell behind with his classmates(副词).
below
［误］ What's that below the chair. ［正］ What's that under the chair.
［析］ under 意为“正下方”，而 below 意为}“比……低”，或指“在下游”。如：There is a fall below the river. (河的下游有一个瀑布。)其反义词为 over，如：There is a big plane flying over the city. 但在“下面的例子”一表达语中则要用 the example below, 而不要用 under.
beside
［误］ The students stood besides the teacher. ［正］ The students stood beside the teacher. ［误］ I study English beside Chinese. ［正］ I study English besides Chinese.
［析］ beside 意为“在……旁边”，而 besides 是“除……以外(还如何)”。
beside, by, near
beside 意为“在……旁”，如：There is a tall tree beside the river. by 多指“倚、靠”、“沿着”之意，如：She is standing by the window. near 多用来表示两地间距离不远，如：There is a post office near our school.
better
［误］ You had better to do it at home. ［正］ You had better do it at home.
［误］ You hadn't better wake me up at six. ［正］ You had better not wake me up at six.
［析］ had better 在肯定句中为“应该作某事”，其后加不带 to 的不定式，而在否定句中应用 had better + not + 动词原形。在简答语中 had 常省略为 'd，如：You'd better not. 又如：
?Let's? go first. No, we'd better not.
13
between
［误］ Among the two trees there is a space of the feet. ［正］ Between the two trees there is a space of the feet.
［析］ 两者之间多用 between，三者或三者以上之间则用 among. ［误］ You must choose between this club or that club. ［正］ You must choose between this club and that club.
［析］ 在两个之间作出选择要用 between … and …，而不能用 between … or ….
big
［误］ There was a big rain last night. ［正］ There was a heavy rain last night.
［析］ 大雨在英语中只能用 a heavy rain 而不要用 a big rain.
bit
［误］ He is a bit fool. ? ［正］ He is a bit of a fool.?
［析］ a bit 可以作程度副词，与 a little 相同，但它用于名词前应用 a bit of, 而用于形容词前则应用 a bit，如：I'm a bit tired, 而其简答的否定句应为 Not a bit, (一点儿也不。)又如：
--Do you mind if I open the door? --Not a bit.
black
［误］ The children became black after swimming in the sea. ［正］ The children became sunburned after swimming in the sea.
［析］ 因太阳照晒而皮肤变黑，不应用 black 而应用 sunburned, sun colour 或 dark. ［误］ The girl has black eyes and black hair. ［正］ The girl has dark eyes and black hair.
［析］ 英语中 black eyes 的意思是被打得发青的眼睛。 ［误］ The Europeans like red tea. ［正］ The Europeans like black tea.
［析］ 红茶在英文中应为 black tea. 这种惯用法还有：black and blue(鼻青脸肿，青一块紫一块)；black?and?white(黑白电视片)。go black 意为“在失去知觉时眼前一片黑暗”；look black 意为“情况不妙，前景暗淡”。如：After the fight he was black and blue. On TV, I like colour for something and black?and?white for others.
body
［误］ Going to bed earlier and getting up earlier is good for your body.
14
［正］ Going to bed earlier and getting up earlier is good for your health. ［析］ 中文常讲对你身体有利，而英文中则讲对你健康有利。
borrow
［误］ May I lend some books from the library? ［正］ May I borrow some books from the library? ［误］ How long can I borrow it? ［正］ How long can I keep it?
［析］ 英语中有三个词都可译为“借”，但意义各不相同如：“借入”是 borrow，其常用句型结构是 borrow something from somebody，这是个瞬间性动词，不可与表示延续的时间状语连用。例如：The students want to borrow some books from the library. “借出”用 lend，即借给别人东西。其常用句型是 lend somebody something, 或lend something to somebody. 例如：Could you lend us your dictionary? 或 Could you lend your dictionary to us? 它也是瞬间性动词，也不能与延续的时间状语连用。keep 则是延续性动词，可以和表示长时间段的时间状语连用，也可与 how long 等疑问词连用，如：You can keep it for three days.
born (bear 的过去分词)
［误］ I born in Shanghai. ［正］ I was born in Shanghai.
［误］ He was born from Greek parents. ［正］ He was born of Greek parents. ［析］ “出身于……样的家庭”不要作 from 而要用 of，例如：He was born of a poor family.
both
［误］ They both are students. ［正］ They are both students.
［误］ They refuse both to answer this question. ［正］ They both refuse to answer this question.
［析］ both 作同位语时，一般要用在 be 动词之后实意动词之前。 ［误］ I know his both parents. ［正］ I know both his parents.
［误］ The both brothers were students. ［正］ Both the brothers were students. ［正］ Both brothers were students.
［析］ 当 both 与形容词性物主代词 my, his, her 等以及定冠词the连用时，都应将这些词置于 both 之后。另外，在与定冠词连用时 the 可以省略。 ［误］ Both of my parents are not at home. ［正］ Neither of my parents are at home. ［误］ Both of your answers are not right.
