中式英文:

Women's social status has gone a long way over the years.

(女性社會地位近幾年來有長足進步。)

改錯研析:

Women's social status has come a long way over the years.

(1) 英文沒有 go a long way 的片語,只有 go a long way toward something,意思是「有助於某事」,如以下 Merriam-Webster 例句:

These changes will go a long way toward making the system more efficient.

= These changes will do a lot to make the system more efficient.

(這些改變將有助於更加提升系統效率。)

(2) 「有長足進步」是 come a long way, 如以下 Merriam-Webster 例句:

The company has really come a long way since its humble beginnings.

= The company has made a lot of progress since its humble beginnings.

(公司創業維艱篳路藍縷,至今已有長足進步。)
