每日一错:那些让歪果仁抓狂、中国人内伤的chinglish

14.假期从明天开始。


易错句型:
The vacation begins from tomorrow.

错误分析:
此句中的tomorrow是时间副词做状语,它的前面是不需要用介词的。因此,中文句子里的“从”字在这种场合是不需译出的,此外,某些场合也不需要将“从"译成from,而是要具体情况具体分析。例如:
新学期从4月开始。The new term begins in April.
新学期从4月5日开始。The new term begins on the 5th of April.
茶会从6点开始。The tea patty begins at six o'clock.
教育从一个人出生开始。Education begins with a man's birth.
上述句子中,April, the 5th, six o'clock, birth都是名词,前面需要使用介词。

地道英语说法:
The vacation begins tomorrow.;

应用对话:
A:汤姆,最近忙什么了?放假了吗?
A: Tom, what are you doing recently? Are you in the vacation?
B:最近我正忙着考试呢,今天是最后一天了,假期从明天开始。
B:I am busy on examination. Today is the last day of examinationand the vacation begins tomorrow.
A:好好考试,等你放了假我带你去迪斯尼乐园。
A:Work hard with your examination! I will take you to the Disneywhen you are in the vacation.
B:真的啊?我早就梦想能去迪斯尼了。
B: Really? I have dreamed of going to the Disney all along.

注释:
dream of表示:梦想(做什么)
