Examples and explanations of improper collocation of idioms

Explanation: Idioms often have fixed collocation methods according to certain grammatical relations. If you leave this collocation, you will easily make mistakes, such as the mismatch between modifiers and headwords, the mismatch between verbs and objects, and some of them can't take objects themselves. For example:

1. If we ignore the solemn statement and strong protest of the people of China and go our own way, we will surely suffer the consequences. "Stay out" is often collocated with the preposition "ba", so it is correct to change "right" to "ba" and "stay out" to "turn a deaf ear".

This joke is very powerful, because it satirizes the officials who are indifferent to the sufferings of the people, and it is widely circulated among the people and has a great influence. "Indifference" cannot take the object "People's sufferings".

When climbing the crucian carp back of Tiandu Peak in Huangshan Mountain, people often feel that they are walking on thin ice. "Pulling back from the cliff, treading on thin ice" means being cautious, and the word "fear" cannot be a rhetoric.

Yesterday, the victim Kobayashi covered his eyes with a broken heart and told the reporter about the last court session. "Missed" describes meeting a good opportunity and missing it face to face, and cannot be used to modify "eyes".

5. The comrades who participated in the forum expressed their firm support for the principles and policies of the center, and also spoke freely with the comrades of the investigation team, reflecting many problems. "Speak freely" is inconsistent with the previous "comrades of the investigation team".

6. U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright's trip to the Middle East has not fundamentally solved the contradiction between the United States and Iraq, and the situation in the Gulf region will not be solved once and for all. The subject and predicate of "situation" and "once and for all" are not properly matched, so "forever peace" can be used instead of "once and for all".

7. Everyone has shortcomings. You should not blame him for his shortcomings. "Perfection" and "blame" are both verb-object phrases, and verb-object phrases cannot take objects, so the expression of this sentence is ungrammatical; It can be changed to "you shouldn't pursue perfection for his shortcomings."

8. We are all used to the sign "Offenders will be fined". It is not surprising that "commonplace" is to describe things that are often seen. You can't carry an object behind it.

9. The drugstores here have good soil and water conditions, a united leading group and people live and work in peace and contentment. "Living and working in peace and contentment" means living there with peace of mind and loving your career. We can only say "people live and work in peace and contentment", not "living and working in peace and contentment".

10, draw a line with evil forces with the spirit of Bian Wei's Three Musts. "Bian Wei's Three Musts" describes hard work, but it doesn't mean determination. It is inappropriate to say "draw a clear line with evil forces with the spirit of Bian Wei's Three Musts".

165438+ "Being both right and left" means "doing things smoothly", which is also a metaphor for doing things smoothly. This sentence focuses on children's "talking" about computers and the Internet, not doing it. "Living within our means" cannot be used as a supplement to "speaking".

12, the popular prestigious schools were left out in the cold, and the "favored children" were criticized by the society. People can't help asking: "What happened to college students?" "Hot" means that you feel hot when you touch your hand, which means that powerful people are arrogant and make people afraid to approach. It is not appropriate to describe the famous schools here as "hot, lively, hot and popular".

13. Compared with the beautiful environment of the school, his shabby clothes are very incongruous. "Beauty" is used to describe the grandeur of architecture, and it is not appropriate as a modifier of "environment" here.

14, I greeted his old man's eyes with a smiling face. "A pleasant countenance" describes the face, not the eyes. I hope it helps you ~
