错误:Would you like to join our party on Friday?

18. 这个新年你回家吗?
Will you be going back home for the Spring Festival?
是的,我回去。Of course! (这一句是错的)
当然。Sure. / Certainly.(这种说法是正确的)
以英语为母语的人用of course的频率要比中国的学生低得多,只有在回答一些大家都知道的问题时才说of course。由于of course后面隐含的一句话是当然我了解啦!难道我是一个傻瓜吗?因此,of course带有挑衅的意味。在交谈时,用sure或certainly成效会好得多。同时,of course not也具挑衅的意味。正常状况下语气温和的说法是certainly not.
19. 我感觉右手非常疼。
错误:I feel very painful in my right hand.
正确:My right hand is very painful. Or My right hand hurts.
