× The words of my name in Chinese means the wishes given by my mother and also expectations and she hope I would become a peace and wise person.
✓ The words of my name in Chinese mean the wishes given by my mother and also expectations, and she hopes I will become a peaceful and wise person.
句中主语是複数名词短语“The words”,谓语动词应使用复数形式“mean”,而不是“means”。此外,“she hope”缺少第三人称单数-s,应为“she hopes”。“would become a peace and wise person”中“peace”是名词,应改为形容词“peaceful”;时态上用“will become”更符合说话者描述未来期望的语境。建议注意主谓一致和形容词/名词的正确使用。
× I think I will choose a special and not usual name for my kids because I don't want they feel like they are the same with others.
✓ I think I will choose a special and unusual name for my kids because I don't want them to feel like they are the same as others.
“not usual”用法不自然,应用形容词“unusual”。代词“they”用在动词宾语位置时应为宾格“them”,并且在动词“feel”前需要不定式结构“to feel”。此外常用表达为“the same as others”,而不是“the same with others”。建议使用正确的宾格代词和固定搭配。
× Besides that I wish to add some special meanings for their names like.
✓ Besides that, I wish to add some special meanings to their names, such as ...
原句句尾以“like.”不完整,缺少举例或后文,且介词搭配应为“add ... to their names”而非“for”。建议完整列出示例或用省略号表示将举例,并使用正确介词“to”。
× Actually no. Everyone in my family has their unique name with different meanings and different expectations their parents gave to them and despite our surname is the same.
✓ Actually no. Everyone in my family has his or her unique name with different meanings and different expectations their parents gave them, despite our surname being the same.
“Everyone”为单数不定代词,后接的代词应使用“his or her”以保持数的一致性(或改用复数主语避免性别问题)。“gave to them”中动词短语中通常省略“to”:用“gave them”。“despite our surname is the same”语法不正确,应该用分词短语“despite our surname being the same”或“despite the fact that our surname is the same”。建议保持主语代词一致并使用正确的从句结构。
× One significant differences is that older generations may often have very simple and more casual names that you can find their characteristics in dictionary on the contrast modern people tend to.
✓ One significant difference is that older generations often have very simple and more casual names whose characteristics you can find in the dictionary; in contrast, modern people tend to ...
“differences”应为单数“difference”以配合“一项显著差别(one)”。“may often”重复模糊,应简化为“often”。“names that you can find their characteristics in dictionary”中关系从句和代词使用不当,改为“names whose characteristics you can find in the dictionary”。句子末尾“on the contrast modern people tend to”不完整且搭配错误,应改为“in contrast, modern people tend to ...”并补全后文。建议注意名词单复数、一致性以及完整表达对比句。
× If Some names are definitely more popular in China than others.
✓ Some names are definitely more popular in China than others.
句首的“If”不必要且导致句子成为条件句但未完成。应删除“If”以形成完整陈述句。此外“Some”不应大写。建议检查句首多余词并注意大小写。
× Celebrities.
✓ Celebrities have also influenced naming trends.
单独一个词“Celebrities.”不是完整句子,缺少谓语使其成为断句。根据上下文,可将其补为完整句子,例如“Celebrities have also influenced naming trends.”以表达名人影响潮流的意思。建议确保句子包含主语和谓语。
