1．误：Everyone in my family is like the dog.
正：Everyone in my family likes the dog.
分析：作者的原意是：我们全家都喜欢这只狗。但错误例句所传递的信息却是：我们全家都像狗。英语中的like主要用作动词(喜欢)、名词(爱好)、介词(像)。弄清“like的众兄弟”(like, unlike, dislike, likely, alike, look like, would like, feel like )的词性和搭配很有必要，以便做到触类旁通。
2．误：Those who strongly against the idea think animals will lose their freedom and nature if caged in the zoo.
正：Those who are strongly against the idea think animals will lose their freedom and nature if caged in the zoo.
分析：误将介词作动词：against(反对)是介词而不是动词，用介词表达动作意义，要加系动词be; for为其反义词，意为“同意”。
