即使是說中文,我們偶而也會說一些贅字,在說英文時當然也會發生。若是犯了這些錯誤,可能就會在托福或雅思考試上被扣分,不可不注意;外國人聽了你講英文,更會覺得奇怪。

《Engvid》網站的講師Rebecca就在網站上提出了了8個常見的錯誤。

1.The car was speeding too fast.

贅字:too fast

只要說”The car was speeding.”即可,因為speeding本身就有too fast的意思。

2.We will progress forward this year.

贅字:forward

progress本身就有前進的意思。

3.Do you have any other alternatives?

贅字:other

alternatives本身就代表著other opinions的意思,因此other為多餘的贅字。

4.When are you returning back?

贅字:back

returning本身即有going back的意思。

5.Could you repeat the directions again?

贅字:again

repeat即有again的意思。

6.Please continue on with your work.

贅字:on

continue本身就有go on的意思,所以不需要再重複說on。

7.They meet together often.

贅字:together

meet本身就有together的意思。

8.We reserved the seats in advance.

贅字:in advance

reserve本身有”in advance”的意涵。
