学位英语考试复习资料:易混淆的常用词
两个学生的作业里有这两句话:
①“Singapore is a small and young country. It's achievements have been significant.”
②“Beside attacking student mobs, the author also criticized the goverment's indulgent attitude.”
两句中各有一个错误,即:“It's”和“Beside”;应该是“ Its”和“Besides”才对。“It's”是“it is”的缩写,“Its”才是所有代名词“它的”。“Beside”是“在旁边”,而“Besides” 才是“除此之外”。
像这样“形似义异”的字,在英语里相当多,稍微粗心,便会混淆不清。
