常见错误

n. (名词)

1. 现在不是桃子上市的季节。

   误 This is not the season of peaches.

   正 This is not the season for peaches.

   析 the season for表示“…上市的季节”,其中介词用for,不用of。

2. 苹果即将上市。

   误 Apples will be in the season soon.

   正 Apples will be in season soon.

   析 in season表示“上市”, season前不需定冠词the。

3. 现在是螃蟹落令季节。

   误 Crabs are out of the season now.

   正 Crabs are out of season now.

   析 out of season表示“不当令”或“落市”,这里season前不可带定冠词the。

4. 他在1969年春季回到了故乡。

   误 He returned to his hometown in the spring season of 1969.

   正 He returned to his hometown in the spring of 1969.

   析 “春季”只说spring,不说spring season,夏秋冬亦同。

5. 他每个季度末付房租。

   误 He pays his rent at the end of each season.

   正 He pays his rent at the end of each quarter.

   析 指“季度”(即三个月)时,须用quarter。一年虽也可分为4个season,但每个season并不一定3个月。
