中式英文:
(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。)
