中式英语口语错误讲解

136.新加坡

[误] On arriving at Singapore, my friend was waiting for me at the airport.

[正] On arriving at Singapore, I found my friend waiting for me at the airport.

翻译：一到新加坡，我的朋友就在机场等我。

讲解：凡是带有介词的动名词，或是单独的分词，必须有一个意义上的主语，来配合这个动作。到达新加坡的是“我”，而主句中的主语却是“我的朋友”，动作不能配合，所以是错误的。介词 before 与 after 的情形和 on 一样，故下面的两句也是错的：After finishing his work, I paid him. Before reading the text, the vocabulary should be learned.

更多口语例句：
After staying a few days in Shanghai, he moved on to Singapore.
在上海逗留了几天之后，他又启程去新加坡。
