Yanlış: To the students were told to wait


outside.

Doğru: The students were told to wait


outside.

Buradaki yanlışlık, Türkçe'den motomot


çeviri yapmaktan kaynaklanıyor. Biz
"öğrenciler-e söylendi" deriz ama, tabiidir
ki bu İngilizce'yi bağlamaz...

Yanlış: The thief was given a fair trial to


him and sent to prison.

Doğru: The thief was given a fair trial and


sent to prison.

"to him" fazlalık...

Güçlü Çeldirici: e. Don't let yourself be


laughed at. "Sana gülünmesine
(gülmelerine) izin verme"... veya, Kendine
güldürtecek birşeyler yapma... "Let" fiili
herzaman yalın (to'suz) mastar alır.
Buradaki mastar ise pasif: "to be laugh at"
= (kendisine) gülünülmek...

Yanlış: Oh, my goodness! What have you


done your hair!

Doğru: Oh, my goodness! What have you


done to / with your hair!

"to / with your hair..." -- Biz Türkçe'de,


"Saçına, veya saçını ne yaptın?" deriz, ama
yine bu İngilizce'yi bağlamaz...

"What" yerine "What on earth!" pekiştirici


bir deyim olup, örneğin buradaki tümceyi
Türkçe'ye şöyle çevirebiliriz: "What on
earth has happened here?" = Neler oldu
yahu burada, Allah aşkına?!"
