使用avoid的兩類錯點

錯點一  表示“避免”“回避”“躲避”，本身為及物動詞，后接賓語不要想當然誤加介詞，如：

我想她是在躲著我。

正：I think she is avoiding me.

誤：I think she is avoiding from me.

又如：

Always avoid such a girl. 對這樣的女孩子要避而遠之。

I was poor, but I avoided debt. 我窮是窮，但還不至于借債。

He tried to avoid the bump in the road. 他試圖避開路面上隆起的地方。

Even if you avoid the problems, they still exist. 即使你避開這些問題，它們依然存在。

To avoid confusion, the teams wore different clothes. 為了避免混淆，各隊穿了不同顏色的衣服。

錯點二  后接動詞時要用動名詞，不能用不定式。如：

You should avoid mentioning his divorce. 你要避免提及他離婚的事。

He dyed his beard to avoid being recognized. 他染了胡子，以免我們認出他。

She avoids walking on dark streets at night. 她避免夜間在黑暗的街道上走路。

Her illness is merely a device to avoid seeing him. 他所謂生病只不過是避免見他的花招而已。

有時動名詞前可以有自己的邏輯主語。如：(www.hz123456.com)
