懸垂修飾語（dangling modifiers）

所謂懸垂修飾語是指句首的短語和后面的短語邏輯關(guān)系不清，如：

1. At the age of ten, my grandfather died.

分析：

這句話“At the age of ten”只指出10歲時(shí)，但并沒有指出誰10歲時(shí)，按照一般的推理不可能是“my grandfather”，如果我們把這個(gè)懸垂修飾語改明確點(diǎn)，句子就不會引起別人誤解了。

改為：When I was ten, my grandfather died.

2. To do well in college, good grades are essential.

分析：

句中不定式“To do well in college”邏輯主語不清。

改為：To do well in college, a student needs good grades.

詞性誤用（misuse of parts of speech）

分析認(rèn)為，詞性誤用通常表現(xiàn)為：介詞當(dāng)動(dòng)詞用，形容詞當(dāng)副詞用，名詞當(dāng)動(dòng)詞用等，如：

1. None can negative the importance of money.

分析：

Negative是形容詞，誤作動(dòng)詞使用。

改為：None can deny the importance of money.

指代不清（ambiguous reference of pronouns）

指代不清主要指代詞與被指代的人或物關(guān)系不清，或者先后使用的代詞不一致，如：

1. Mary was friendly to my sister because she wanted her to become her bridesmaid.

分析：

讀完上面這句話后，作者無法明確判斷兩位姑娘中誰將結(jié)婚，誰將當(dāng)伴娘。如果我們把易于引起誤解的代詞的所指對象明確，意思就一目了然了。

改為：Mary was friendly to my sister because she wanted my sister to become her bridesmaid.

2. We can also know the society by serving it yourself.

分析：

句中代詞we和反身代詞yourself指代不一致。

改為：We can also know the society by serving it ourselves.?最后，分享一個(gè)不錯(cuò)的雅思課程：class.hujiang.com/course/159786
