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:
5 B0 d9 x1 l: [! A- @8 ]# s* {( T! L' E7 R& E: V; n: n o5 y
How to spell your last name?# I+ Z$ p1 l4 t9 A( B3 ?
4 [- Z. |- d! }! w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 ...
$ x! W! ?5 Z0 A/ B, t1 d
- k1 u7 K+ k" H" B"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.") D" i% \; f) F
+ b) Y( ?$ e# h& R, W' S"Long time no see" is from old English.

"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". |
