中式英语之鉴:陪年迈的祖父

(单词翻译:单击)

370. 每个周末,玛丽都会陪年迈的祖父去看电影。


[误] Every weekend, Mary would accompany her old grandfather to go to the cinema.


[正] Every weekend, Mary would accompany her old grandfather to the cinema.


:accompany 常被翻译成“陪同”,所以人们在翻译“陪某人看电影”时,会很自然地用 accompany sb. to go to the cinema。其实,查英英词典你就会发现,accompany 的意思不是 together with,而是 go togethr with。所以上述情况中其后的 to go 明显是多余的。
