原文

I find that it is very difficult to use the App called Anki. Yesterday I spent tons of time studying this APP, still I could not figure it out. Sometimes I even doubted myself whether I was a clever man or not. The girl who taught me how to use Anki was very scrupulous, yet I only could use the basic function. I could really kick myself. Why am I so stupid? Alas, what a silly man I am. It seems that plans are made to be broken.

批改后:

I find it very difficult to use Anki, an App that claims to “make remembering things easy”. Yesterday I spent tons of time studying this App, but still I could not figure it out. It made me think whether I was too dumb. The girl who taught me how to use Anki tried to cover some advanced features, yet I was completely confused and could only use the basic functions. I could really kick myself. Why am I so stupid? I wasted too much time on Anki and failed to complete the day’s tasks. It seems that plans are made to be broken.

批改1

  • 原文:I find that it is very difficult to use the App called Anki.
  • 修改:I find it very difficult to use Anki, an App that claims to “make remembering things easy”.
  • 语法点1:find it + adj. to do sth. 发现做某事非常xxx。这个表达比find that it is + adj. to do sth. 更简洁。后者虽然是从句,但并不是表达这个意思的最佳方式。
  • 语法点2:同位语。修改后的句子,an App that claims to xxx这部分是Anki的同位语。
    • 什么是同位语?简单点说,如果A是B的同位语,那么A和B指的是同一个事物,而且位置可以互换。
    • 比如:He is a giant, a man as tall as the Eiffel tower. 这句话里a giant和a man as tall as the Eiffel tower讲的都是这个人,我们可以将其位置互换。
    • He is a man as tall as the Eiffel tower, a giant.

批改2:

  • 原文:Yesterday I spent tons of time studying this APP, still I could not figure it out.
  • 修改:Yesterday I spent tons of time studying this App, but still I could not figure it out.
  • 语法点3:用连词连接两个独立句子!
    •这句话中,逗号前后都是独立的句子。因此必须使用连词连接,常见的连词包括and/but/for/yet/so等,但still不是连词。
    •不用连词的时候,中间要用句号分隔:
    •Yesterday I spent tons of time studying this APP. Still I could not figure it out.
  • 原文:The girl who taught me how to use Anki was very scrupulous, yet I only could use the basic function.
  • 修改:The girl who taught me how to use Anki tried to cover some advanced features, yet I was completely confused and could only use the basic functions.
  • 这句话作了较大改动,补充了细节,而不是试图用一个词来表达“悉心教导”的意思。
  • 单词
    •scrupulous是指“讲良心的、有道德的”。还有一个意思是“谨小慎微的”,用在这里不合适。
    •cover 这里是不是物理意义上的“覆盖”,而是讲课内容“覆盖”了xxx。
    •feature 这个词一般用来讲产品特征/功能。
