【问】 93年6月大学英语四级统考作文题目是:My Most Favourite Programme。有人说这个 题目在语言上有毛病,不知是否如此。 【答】 favourite是个形容词,它的词义是:best-liked (Chambers Univesal Learners’ Dictionary)。 I can’t find my favourite sweater. A. best-liked B. fancy C. special D. darling(TOEFL) 不难看出,favourite的词义(最喜爱的,最喜欢的)已经包含有most(最)的含义,因此不能再与most连用。 1. Who is your favourite author? (ALD) 谁是你最喜爱的作者? 2. His favourite newspaper was The Times. 他最喜欢的报纸是泰晤士报。 3. One of my favourite sayings is “There’s no smoke without fire.” 我最喜欢的谚语之一,是“无火不起烟”。 说来凑巧,我们在Longman Dictionary of Common Errors发现一道改错题: × My most favourite drink is lemonade. √ My favourite drink is lemonade. 这就足以说明上面的作文题是有语病的,应改为My Favourite Programme。① 请做下面英语试题: 1. “What authors do you like?” “Shakespeare is____. ” A. favourite for me B. my favourite C. for me the favourite D. the favourite of mine(TOEFL,71. 3) 2. Sixty percent of television viewers chose him as their____actor. A. popular B. preferred C. favourite D. favoured(Nelson,350D)
