[误] She was named of a flower.?
[正] She was named after a flower.?
[析] 以命名应为name after,又如给某人取名应为The father named his son Tom.?
near ?
[误] We came near to hit him.?
[正] We came near to hitting him.?
[析] 这句话应译为我们几乎要打他一顿。near to这一用法中to为介词,其后要接宾语,所以要接名词或动名词。near作介词时其后可加to也可不加to,如: I sit near the door, I sit near to the fire.?
by near ?
We lived near the city. 与We lived by the city. 两句话都是对的,但其表达的意义有所不同,by在表达距离时比near更近,所以by the city是紧靠近某城市。?
need ?
[误] This room needs to clean.?
[正] This room needs to be cleaned.?
[正] This room needs cleaning.?
[析] 在表达某事需要做什么时,need后面如用不定式要用其被动态,如接动名词则要用主动态。?
[误] We need not to do it.?
[正] We neednt do it.?
[析] need用在否定句、疑问句中一般用作情态动词,所以无人称变化也不加to,而在肯定句中则多用作实意动词,如: We need your help.?
