The article points out the differences between the life of now and the life of past in three aspects, the way to work, the way to eat, the way to entertain.
【评点】
the life of now and the life of past 从语法上讲,除了past 需要加the 外,没有多大毛病;不过从习惯上讲,最好不要用 of now 和 of the past,还是用 life now 和 life in the past;从简洁角度看,如果不是分别强调,改为the life now and in the past
the way to work, the way to eat, the way to entertain 是三个并列短语,最后一个要用 and 连接。
One generation ago, only dad’s pay check is enough for a family’s bills. But now mom also has to work to afford the cost. And the time that they spend in the way to work is longer.
【评点】
One generation ago 似乎用 in the the previous generation 为好
前半句指过去,因此要用过去式 was
afford 表示负担得起要求用can 或be able to,需要改为has to work to be able to afford the cost。
花时间工作有两种表达方法:spend time on their jobs 或者 spend time (in) working
And the time that they spend on their jobs (或spend working) is longer 主语部分较长,句子不平衡,改为And the time is longer that they spend on their jobs (或spend working)
Compared with the past, American family have the fast food rather than “home-style” meals, because none has time to prepare the dinner.
【评点】
American family have 改为复数American families have或者 an American family has
fast food泛指任何一类快餐,应该去掉定冠词 the
Thirsty years ago, the whole family sat in front of the only television to watch the same problem. Now it’s no more. Everyone has his television and computer, and more everyone has his typical way to entertain.
【评点】
watch the same problem 改为watch the same program(看同一个节目)
no more表示在数量上不再,no longer 表示在时间或距离上不再,此处意思是说“不再想过去那样”,因此要改为it’s not like that
his television and computer 改为his own television and computer
entertain 用作及物动词有“娱乐”的意思,用作不及物动词只表示“招待客人/请客”,改为entertain himself
These changes also cause a problem that the family is no longer like a family. The writer think that it’s important to make people
【评点】
the family is no longer like a family 改为the family is no longer like a household
The writer think 改为The writer thinks
make people 意思是“造人”或“勾引人”,改为it’s important to be upright persons / conduct themselves【做人】、model people【塑造人】或者reform / rebuild people【改造人】)
See the family life just as important as work or play. Because only so people will spend more time with family.
see用得似乎不对劲,但是不清楚此处想表示什么意思,不好提出具体意见
only 放在句首,需要用倒装语序,改为Because only so will people spend more time with family
