foreign常用作定語,也可用作表語。

正

She blushed as she spoke, for lying is foreign to her nature.

析

foreign 用來表達(dá)“和…格格不入”“和…不相干”時(shí),后面應(yīng)該加介詞to,而不加 with或別的介詞。

析

“三對外國夫婦”譯成three couples of foreigners不符合英語習(xí)慣說法,應(yīng)該改為 three foreign couples。“一對美國夫婦”是an American couple,若寫成a couple of Americans就可能是兩個(gè)美國人了。

誤

正

He has placed an order for a foreign-made car.

析

“外國制造的”應(yīng)譯作foreign-made,而foreigner's是“外國人的”意思。
