析 surprise为及物动词,表示“令…吃惊”,可以直接加宾语。
误 We are surprising to hear the news.
正 We are surprised to hear the news.
析 surprising为现在分词作形容词表主动,说明主语的性质。surprised为过去分词作形容词表被动,具有“由于…原因而惊骇”的意思,常跟动词不定式或at+sb's/sth v -ing。
误 I was surprised with his behavior at the party.
正 I was surprised at his behavior at the party.
析 表示“对…感到吃惊”,应该说 be surprised at,而不能说 be surprised with。
误 It was surprised that he finished writing a novel in only twenty days.
正 It was surprising that he finished writing a novel in only twenty days.
析 surprised 表示“感到吃惊的”,其主语应该是人,而 surprising 表示“令人吃惊的”,其主语应该是物或某件事情。所以误句中的 surprised 应改成 surprising。
误 The newspaper report of an outrage against the children surprised the public.
正 The newspaper report of an outrage against the children shocked the public.
析 surprise 侧重于表示“出人意料而使人感到惊讶”,语气较弱。汉语中的“震惊”,在英文中是 shock,这个词的意味远比 surprise 强。
误 I surprised to hear you say that.
正 I am surprised to hear you say that.
析 当surprise作及物动词表示“使惊奇”“使震惊”时,它后面可直接跟宾语,但要表示“某人对某事感到惊奇”,往往采用 be surprised to- v 的系表结构, surprised是过去分词,在句中作表语。
误 In my surprise, he won the price.
正 To my surprise, he won the price.
析 to one's surprise是固定用法,意为“令人吃惊的是”。
误 To my surprised, he managed to finish the work only in a few days.
正 To my surprise, he managed to finish the work only in a few days.
析 “使某人吃惊的是”,英文是“to one's surprise”, to 是介词,所以后接名词。
误 His face showed surprises at the news.
正 His face showed surprise at the news.
析 surprise表示“惊奇”时为抽象名词,不可数。
误 Here is surprise for you.
正 Here is a surprise for you.
析 surprise表示“使人惊异的事或东西”时,用作可数名词,可在前面加不定冠词a。
