中式英语之鉴:每个月的单号
日期:2008-07-14 10:47

(单词翻译:单击)

123. 每个月的单号我们都有一场比赛。


[误] We have a match on single-numbered days of each month.


[正] We have a match on odd-numbered days of each month.


:single 是“单一的,单个的”意思如:single-eyed(独眼的),single-handed(独手的,单枪匹马的)等。而odd 才表示“单数的,奇数的”意思,如:odd houses(单号门牌的房子),odd month(有三十天的月份)等。
