注："suitable" (合适的、相配的) 最常见的用法是以否定的形式出现在告示或通知上，如："The following programme is not suitable for children."
用英语怎么说?
误：How to say in English?
正：How do you say this in English?
注：在中国，"How to say"可谓是滥用现象最为严重的一种说法，而它根本不是地道的英文表达方式，应尽量避免在交流中使用。
明天我有事情要做。
误：I have something to do tomorrow.
正：Sorry but I am tied up all day tomorrow.
注：用"I have something to do"来表示"很忙"，这也是典型的中式英语。因为每时每刻我们都有事情要做，躺在那里睡大觉也是事情。可以这样表达"我很忙，脱不开身"：I'm tied up。当然还有其他的说法，比如：I'm afraid I can't make it at that time. I'd love to, but I can't, I have to stay at home.
注："What time is it now"这是一个直接从汉语翻译过的句子，讲英语的时候没有必要说"now"，因为你不可能问"what time was it yesterday"或者"what time is it tommorow"。
我的英语很糟糕。
误：My English is poor.
正：I am not 100% fluent, but at least I am improving.
注：有人开玩笑说，全中国人最擅长的一句英文是"My English is poor"。然而外国人并不会对我们说"My Chinese is poor"。他们会说"I am still having a few problem, but I'm getting better." 因为你告诉对方你的英文 (或中文) 很弱又能如何，那咱就不谈了？显然不行！
你愿意参加我们的晚会吗?
误：Would you like to join our party on Friday?
正：Would you like to come to our party on Friday night?
注："join"往往是指参加俱乐部或者协会，如"join a health club"，"join the Communist Party"。事实上，常与"party"搭配的动词是"come"或"go"。如"go a wild party"，或者"come to a Christmas Party"。
我没有经验。
误：I have no experience.
正：I am afraid I don't know much about that.
注：对老外来说，"I have no experience"这句话听起来很怪异，因为只需要说"那方面我懂得不多"，或者"这方面我不在行"就可以了，如：I am not really an expert in this area.
我没有男朋友。
误：I have no boyfriend.
正：I don't have a boyfriend.
他的身体很健康。
误：His body is healthy.
正：He is in good health. / He's healthy.
价钱很昂贵/便宜。
误：The price is too expensive / cheap.

我们下了车。
误：We got off the car.
正：We got out of the car.
