（二）正误辨析

［误］ - What can I do for you?

- Yes， please help me

［正］ - What can I do for you?

- I'd like to buy a sweater

［析］ What can I do for you? 这一问语实际上用于的情景很多，要根据具体情况而定。如在商店中售货员讲这句话应译为：您想要点什么?在其他场合也可以被译为：我能为您做些什么?它的答语应是直接讲出想让对方提供的帮助。

［误］ - Which color do you like?

- Sorry， I don't like

［正］ - Which color do you like?

- I prefer blue

［析］由 which 来提问的问句是要回答具体的选择，而不能泛指，泛泛的回答。如 Yes， I like it

［误］ Do you like to come with us tonight?

［正］ Would you like to come with us tonight

［析］Do you like … 问的是对方的习惯，如： Do you like swimming? Do you like collecting stamps? 而would you like… 则是一次性的邀请、提议。邀请的英语表达法还有如下几种：

Shall we go? 我们走吧!

Let's go? 让我们走吧!

How about having a cup of tea? 喝杯茶如何?

What about a cup of coffee喝杯咖啡如何?
