He is going to marry with her. (他打算同她结婚。) 这句话有错误吗?
有错误。中英文表达方式是不同的。当把marry译为“娶”“嫁给”时,一般不会发生这种错误。但是,当把marry译为“同……结婚”时,常常会发生这种错误。要记住,英文里只有marry sb.这种表达方式,而无marry with sb.的表达方式:
-
She married a teacher. 她嫁给了一位教师(她和一位教师结了婚)。
-
When she met my father, she was about to marry another man. (Heaton) 她见到我父亲时,她正要嫁给另一个男人。
但是,在 be(get)married 之后,需要使用介词 to:
-
I've been married to you for sixteen years and I still don't know what goes on inside your head. (BEU) 我同你结婚已经十六年了,但我仍然不知道你脑子里想的是什么。
-
How long have you been married to Sheila? (BEU) 你和希拉结婚多长时间了?
名词 marriage 之后可以接 to 或 with:
-
On her marriage to Mr. Smith, Miss Jones became Mrs. Smith. (Neal) 当她嫁给史密斯先生后,琼斯小姐变成了史密斯太太。
-
We have just heard of his marriage to an heiress. (Wood) 我们刚听到他和一位女继承人结婚的消息。
-
He came into the firm as the result of his marriage with the daughter of the chairman. (Wood) 他进入了这家公司是因为他与公司董事长的女儿结了婚。
