运用不定式与动名词(为你批改)

在原创英文写作中，需特别注意动词不定式表目的与动名词通过介词短语表方式之间的区别与运用。以下两个例句恰好展示了这一对比

1.To celebrate the festival, they prepared 500 kilos of pork.

为了庆祝这个节日，他们准备了500公斤猪肉。

2.We celebrate the festival by eating dumplings.

我们通过吃饺子来庆祝这个节日。

今天分享的原创英文存在这类值得探讨的语言现象。衷心感谢作者真实的语境，为我们提供了宝贵的学习素材。看看原文吧，你能发现几个问题？

一，我发现的问题

二，分析问题并修改

（一）冬至，英语要大写；不能说它是晚上和白天，应该是在这天，我们有长夜晚和短白天；at around 6:40；冬至和it指to，同一天，可以用定语从句。

There are twenty four traditional Chinese solar terms in a year. Today is Winter Solstice on which we have the longest night and the shortest day of the year, with daybreak at around 6:40 a.m

（二）原文的动词不定式to have dumplings变成目的了，词不达意。而且后面by Chinese用于被动语态，与这与被动没有关系。可以用by eating dumplings表示方式。

1.We celebrate it by eating dumplings.

2.This is a book written by Lu Xun.

这是鲁迅写的书。

根据语境，优化了词汇和语法，我最后修改版本如下

There are twenty four traditional Chinese solar terms in a year. Today is Winter Solstice on which we have the longest night and the shortest day of the year, with daybreak at around 6:40 a.m. We celebrate it by eating dumplings.

一年有二十四个中国传统节气。今天是冬至，这是一年中夜晚最长、白昼最短的一天。天破晓时分在早上六点四十分左右。我们通过吃饺子来庆祝这一天。
