英文之旅

recall（动词）后面接动名词，不接不定式，如可以说I recall meeting him somewhere，不可说I recall to meet him somewhere。把meeting改作having met意思不变。

for business reasons，for health reasons，for political reasons等表达方式里该用复数形式reasons。

clothes ready to be worn，clothes ready to wear，clothes ready for wearing和clothes ready for the wearing都可以说，似乎不说clothes ready for being worn。

readiness后面可以接不定式。例如：We appreciated her readiness to undertake that difficult task.

reader作“大学讲师”解是英国英语，后面接in，如a reader in phonetics。

read有时有双宾语。例如：He used to read me stories about his adventures.（他过去常常读他的历险故事给我听。）

但都不算正当，该把reaction改作action，effect或influence。

reach作“（伸手）递给”解，往往有双宾语。例如：She reached me a slice of bread.

re（关于…）用在商业或法律文件里，不该用在一般文字里。

raw用于水果作“未煮的”（uncooked）解，不作“未成熟的”解。说“未成熟的”该用“unripe”。

注意下面两句里都用go，第一句里不用going，第二句里不用went：

at the rate of five miles an hour等表达方式里的the改作a也可以。
