Errors in the Use of Verbs 动词的误用
Improper use of intransitive verbs 不带宾语的动词使用不当
1.旅行 travel
Example
Wrong:我想明年再旅行中国。
Right:我想明年再来中国旅行。
“旅行”,meaning to go to a distant place for sight-seeing, is incapable of taking objects. Two proper substitutes for “旅行中国”are “来中国旅行”which are both verbal constructions in series.
2.旅游 travel
Example
Wrong:去年暑假我们旅游了西藏。
Right:去年暑假我们到西藏去旅游了。
“旅游”means to travel and tour. Similar to “旅行”in usage, it does not take objects either. “旅游”can form set phrases with some nouns, e.g. 旅游商品,旅游车,旅游鞋,旅游点.
