书面表达错误分析·词义错误

　　■The English lessons that Miss Helen taught us were lively and interesting．(误)
　　析：teach sb．a lesson意为“教训某人一顿”。根据句意，应将taught改为gave。
　　■The big fire spread through the building quickly，but luckily everybody tried to escape．(误)
　　析：try to do表示“试图做某事”，但成功与否不确定。manage to do的含义是“设法做成某事”。根据句意应使用managed to escape或was able to escape。
　　■We all persuaded Father to give up smoking，but he wouldn’t listen．(误)
　　析：persuade的含义是“成功地劝说(说服)某人做某事”。根据句意应使用tried to persuade。
　　■The young man pointed to a policeman over there，explained and said，“He stopped us half an hour ago．”(误)
　　析：语义重复。应将and said去掉。explain本身就是“解释说”的意思，没必要再与say连用。另外，把“over there，explained”改成over there and explained就更连贯了。
