下列句子到底错在哪了呢?快来告诉丸子吧:)
【误】I doubt that he can pay for the rentintime.
【译】我怀疑他是否能及时交房租。
【正】I doubt whether he can pay for the rent intime.doubt用在肯定句中,通常要用whether或if来引导其宾语从句,只有在否定句或疑问句中,doubt的宾语从句才能用that引导。
如:Doyoudoubt that the mayor will be able to attendthemeeting?你怀疑市长会来出席这次会议吗?
【误】I was more annoyed than to worry when he didnt omehome.
【译】当他没有回家,我与其说是担心,倒不如是生气。
【正】I was more annoyed than worried when he didntcomehome.句中的more...than表示“与其说是...倒不如说是...”.通常连接两个相对应的成分,在句子中作表语,所以to worry应改成worried.
