1. Original: With reference to environment and pollution, the reason why I disagree to build a shopping center near the community is that it may bring much noise. Revised: With regard to the environment and pollution, the reason why I disagree with building a shopping center near my community is that it would be very noisy.
Disagree with something表示不同意某事,Disagree to do表示不同意做某事。这里用disagree with表示有人提议建一个购物中心,但我不同意这个建议。不是不同意去做。it may bring much noise是中式英语表达法,不地道。
2. Original: If there is a shopping mall, it must attract thousands of people to visit and, of course, a lot of noise and rubbish are produced. Revised: If a shopping mall were built, it would attract thousands of people and consequently, a lot of noise and trash as well.
首先在if从句中,动词要用虚拟语态,这一点我们在第一章中已经提到。
其次,为求简洁,多个客体都可以用一个动词表达,只要不会造成歧义。如此句中的people, noise和trash都可以用attract修饰。
3. Original: Second, because shopping center must be occupy many spaces. Revised: Secondly, shopping centers occupy much space.
副词Secondly放在局首,引导整个句子。
Space是不可数名词,用much,而不是many。
