中国同学遇见老外,想知道人家的姓是怎么拼的,经常脱口而出:
8 \7 Y Z' I" p- N; X/ ~0 `* [ C' M! z/ L$ d
How to spell your last name?
' l" D4 T" M. p1 p" |' q9 M/ K3 ?9 b; w& v0 W) n& b
其实这种错误不光是中国同学特有的。亚非拉的同学很多都这么说。从语法的角度说,how to spell your last name ...
9 ]- X; K7 a# e# t) ]) ~; d4 q( t4 G/ B4 A: E
"how to..." is a phrase. Therefore it can't be used as a sentence like " How do you...; Since it is a phrase, it can be used as TITLE--you can use a word, a phrase or a sentence as a title. Same reason "how to..." can also be used as part of a sentence: " I am not sure how to spell your first name."

"Long time no see" is from old English.

t2 J2 e& y9 j' P3 S: q"No problem" is short form for " I have no problem..." "There is no problem ..." so when used in answering something, it is simply expressed as "No problem". |
