Collocation
collocationはなかなか難しいものです。大抵は、online dictionaryの『英辞郎』を使って調べていますが- - -?今までに間違えた表現やどう表現してよいかわからないもの、間違えやすい表現をあつめてみました。
耳に痛い意見
- "challeingin opinion"
- "critical opnion"
- "thorny opinion"
- "difficult opinions"
- I do not trust 英辞郎, but if you did consut it, read the context more carefully - I've got a job to do, an errand to make, with an infinitive -- Dictionary watcher?
今度の土曜日は仕事があります。
- "I've got a jop this Saturday."???
- I do not trust 英辞郎, but if you did consut it, read the context more carefully - I've got a job to do, an errand to make, with an infinitive -- Dictionary watcher?
- Check to see the difference: I have a job in New York. I have to work in New York?? but I have to work this Sat. -- Dictionary watcher?
little chance??
- "I have little chance to visit the library recently."???
- Please refrain from asking such a naive questions. chance is small or few? -- Dictionary watcher?
- fat chance! Please stop posting such nonsense post - You are embrassing yourself. Beside, I am not your English tutor. Ask someone who knows English more. Again I do not trust 英辞郎 nor Japanese-Dictionary too much. You should use Kenkyusha's Collocation Dictionary, if you may. Again stop posting such columns, as I take no responsibility for authoritative judgement on your English,. -- Dictionary watcher?
