網(wǎng)友Camden2002今天上午給我發(fā)來一篇英文文章，作者是美國一所大學的英語講師，內(nèi)容則是美國大學生常犯的十大語法錯誤（top ten grammar problems）。Camden2002網(wǎng)友建議我把這篇文章翻譯出來，讓國內(nèi)的英語學習者看看，美國大學生常犯的這些錯誤，我們自己是否也常犯。這個建議非常好，不過我最近比較忙，各位的時間也很寶貴，所以我只把這十大語法錯誤的大意翻譯出來，供各位參考一下。另外請注意：在下面的十組例句中，第一句是病句，第二句則是改正過來的句子。

　　三、代詞之間的性、數(shù)、格不一致

　　五、雙重否定

　　① Barely no one noticed that the pop star lip-synched during the whole performance.

　�、� Barely anyone noticed that the pop star lip-synched during the whole performance.

　　六、修飾語、插入語的位置不當

　　① The forest fire， no longer held in check by the exhausted firefighters， jumped the firebreak.

　�、� No longer held in check by the exhausted firefighters， the forest fire jumped the firebreak.

　　七、意義含糊的先行詞

　　② The band members collected their uniforms.

　　八、介詞和冠詞的濫用

　�、� The project of the government reduces the costs of production of the private firms.

　　② The government project reduces the production costs of private firms.

　　九、句子缺少成分

　　① When aiming for the highest returns， and also thinking about the possible losses.

　�、� When aiming for the highest returns， investors also should think about the possible losses.

　　十、忘記斷句

　�、� I do not recall what kind of printer it was all I remember is that it could sort， staple， and print a packet at the same time.

　�、� I do not recall what kind of printer it was. All I remember is that it could sort， staple， and print a packet at the same time.
