41条技巧使你说英语再不Chinglish Whats the difference: Hopefully vs. I Hope Hopefully means “in a hopeful manner.” “I hope the boss lets us out early” and “Hopefully, the boss lets us out early” aren’t the same thing. “但愿”的意思是“抱着希望的态度。”“我希望老板让我们早点走。”和“老板有希望让我们早点走。”不是同一回事。 Whats the difference: Importantly vs. Important More or most important is probably what you want. Only if you’re a pompous blowhard do you say things importantly. 你可能还是需要用“更重要”（more important）来表达你想要的意思。只有当你是一个浮夸的吹牛大王的时候你才会说一个东西是“importantly”。 Whats the difference: Their vs. His or her Everyone, everybody, and close cousin each are singular, so words that refer to them should also be singular. Or, since we all have our grammar hang-ups, you could just rephrase the sentence. 每个人，每个人的堂兄弟姐妹，都是单数。所以指代他们的词也应该是单数。或者。。。每个人都会遇到语法障碍，干脆把句子重写一遍好了。 Whats the difference: I vs. Me Between you and I sounds fancy, and therefore right, but don’t be so quick to be little Cookie Monster (“Me want cookies!”). In this case, me is correct because it’s the object of the preposition between. “在你和我之间”（you and I）听起来很奇妙，很正确的，但别这么快就像小怪兽一样要饼干奖励。在这种情况下，用me才是对的，因为是中间是介词。 Whats the difference: Assessable vs. Accessible A library is wheelchair-accessible. Your house is assessable by the county that taxes it. 这间图书馆提供轮椅。（accessible可取得的）。对你的房子征税的政府可以对房子进行估价。（assesable可估价的） Whats the difference: Badly vs. Bad Is your sense of touch physically impaired (almost never) or are you feeling some guilt after screwing up (almost always)? In the former, you feel badly; the latter, you feel bad. 你身体上能感觉到有物理损伤吗？（几乎从不）或者你在搞砸了事情之后觉得内疚（几乎总是这样）。前者，你感觉badly(严重受伤的)，后者，你感觉不好受（心理上）。 Whats the difference: Equally as vs. Equally The as isn’t necessary. “I speak Latin and pig Latin equally well.” Equally后面的as并不必要。“我的拉丁文和儿童黑话（故意说错的拉丁文）说得一样好。” Whats the difference: Because vs. That You never mean the reason is because; you mean the reason is that. Why? The word reason implies because. Likewise, why say “the reason why” when you can say “the reason”? 你想说的
