为了宣传《英语答疑网》,活跃问答氛围,我从目前开始提出若干英语问题。欢迎各位老师和网友踊跃参与解答,我将视状况适合增加鲜花。
【英语问题】“牛津词典多少钱一本?”,以下表达什么正确?还是都正确?为何?
How much is the price of the Oxford dictionary?
What is the price of the Oxford dictionary?
(1)How much is the price of the Oxford dictionary?(错误)
(2)What is the price of the Oxford dictionary? (正确)
(3)How much is the Oxford dictionary? (正确)
第三句小学时就学过,How muchis it?,而这个句型也可以转换为第二句What is the price of...?。回答时说出价格就能。从这里可以看出,how much is的意思等于what is the price of。
第一句之所以错,在于How much is the price把上面两种句型给杂糅。How much is the price,可以理解为“这个价格的价格是多少”的意思,日常无人这么问。
