hurryup的用法误区.docVIP

误区之一 hurry up不能用于否定句中 简清国主编《建宏外研社英汉多功能词典》 外语与教学研究出版社1997年1月第1版 p739： hurry up [vi.] 赶快 不用于否定句；常用于命令句 Hurry up, or you’ll be late. 这种说法在我国英语界很是流行，然而却是不正确的。在当前的英美语中hurry up用于否定句中真实事例并不少。请看例证： 先来看在美国英语中hurry up用于否定句中的真实事例： 在BUY CORPUS OF AMERICAN ENGLISH 1990-2009 Mark Davies, Brigham Young University 上共有以下例句： 1994 If ya’ll don’t hurry up, I’m just going to go home and go to bed. 1994 …especially if Jackson doesn’t hurry up and clear me back to survey duty. 1996 I’m gon na be late if I don’t hurry up, Tio. 1996 …she’d drown in here if she didn’t hurry up and get out of this room. 1998 A woman says a friend who lent her $ 500 has threatened her if she does not hurry up and repay the loan. 2005 I’m so sorry I didn’t hurry up. 2006 So why don’t you just hurry up and do it 2006 …, filling in the lines, so pretty soon, if I don’t hurry up, there won’t be a way in hell to help the Eagles win 再来看在英国英语中hurry up用于否定句中的真实事例： 在BNC和 BUY-BNC BRTISH NATIONAL CORPUS UK,1980s-1993 Mark Davies, Brigham Young University 上共有以下例句： KC8 …get myself something to wear if I don’t hurry up and if I don’t hurry up and get something.
