一本徹底改善中式英文習慣的語言學習寶典!
你的英文程度為何總是停滯不前?
原來是因為「說、寫英文時,除了冠詞和副詞外,都有中式英文的影子」!《建宏多功能英漢辭典》主編簡清國教授,在本書中以分類方式探討其成因,讓讀者迅速掌握訣竅,說、寫出正確而道地的英文。

簡教授鑽研中式英文四十多年,如今耗時十年,淬鍊成本書十一章精華。想要英文突飛猛進,閱讀本書就夠!

網路時代充斥著各種資訊,讓人眼花撩亂,無所適從。以「我們都知道健康很重要」來說,一上網查,就有一大堆We all know that health is important. 的例句,讓人以為這是正確的英文,真是誤人子弟,莫此為甚。期盼讀者諸君慎思明辨:這種表達法口說尚無妨,書寫時一定要避免,因為不合乎慣用法。--簡清國

內文摘錄
誤用文法搭配造成的中式英文 
文法搭配指名詞或形容詞與介系詞或其他文法結構的連用關係,包括「名詞+介系詞」、「介系詞+名詞」、「動詞+介系詞」、「形容詞+介系詞」等等,其中以前三項較為重要,茲舉例如下:

a)名詞+介系詞
1)我接到一張五萬美金的支票。
【正】:I received a check for US$50,000.
【誤】:I received a check of US$50,000.

2)他是川普總統的外交政策顧問。
【正】:He is an advisor to President Trump on foreign policy.
【誤】:He is an advisor of President Trump on foreign policy.

3)她是林董事長的祕書。
【正】:She is secretary to Chairman Lin.
【誤】:She is a secretary of Chairman Lin.
【解說】:(1) 以上三句介系詞用of,原因是由「……的……」直譯而來的中式英文。(2) 「當某人秘書」secretary前不用a.

b)介系詞+名詞
1)從你臉上的表情,我可以看得出你有了麻煩。
【正】:I can see by the expression on your face that you are in trouble.
【誤】:I can see from the expression on your face that you are in trouble.
【解說】:【誤】句用from,是受中文「從……」影響。

2)他自願做那件事。
【正】:He did it of his own free will.
【誤】:He did it by his own free will.

C)動詞+介系詞
1)我們恭賀約翰弄璋之喜。
【正】:We congratulated John on the birth of his son.
【誤】:We congratulated John for the birth of his son.

2)老師稱讚他很勤奮。
【正】:The teacher praised him for his diligence.
【誤】:The teacher praised his diligence.

以下是學生習作的錯誤例子:
2-1.父母的行為對子女有深遠的影響。
【正】:Parents’ behavior has a profound influence on their children.
【誤】:Parents’ behavior has a profound influence to their children.
【解說】:influence / effect / impact後均接on,【誤】句用to是由中文「對……影響」的「對」直譯而成的錯誤。

2-2.老師對學生應該要嚴格。
【正】:Teachers should be strict with their students.
【誤】:Teachers should be strict to their students.
【解說】:和上句一樣,看到「對……」,學生一成不變的就用to,不免犯錯。 be strict with是固定搭配。「對……嚴格」還可以說be hard on,例:His parents are hard on him.
