在中央电视台由我国著名演员王姬为孔府酒所做的广告中有一句英语: I should go back my home. (我一定要回我的家)。请问这句英文是否正确?
这个句子犯了语法错误。在 be home, go home, come home, get home, arrive home, return home 这些短语中, home 是副词, 因此, 在 home 之前不能用物主代词 my 来修饰 (只有在名词之前才可以使用物主代词来修饰), 也不能使用介词。
当 home 有修饰语(如名词所有格或物主代词)时, home 被看作是名词, 因此, 在 N's + home 结构之前必须加介词(例如 to), 才能与 go, return, get 等连用:
-
She returned(went) to her parents' home. (PEG) 她回到了父母家。
-
We could get to your home by five o'clock, if that would be convenient. 如果方便的话，我们可以5点以前到你家。
对比下面的句子：
-
I'm not going back home tonight. (Walpole) 今晚我不回家。
-
He arranged to go home on Thursday. (Voynich) 他准备星期四回家。
-
If he had come straight home, he must be in! 如果他直接回家了,那他就一定在家。
-
At a quarter after ten he returned home. 十点一刻他回了家。
When did you get ____? A. home B. to home C. at home D. the home(全国高考)
