250. 学生们在星期六晚上要去参加一个舞会。
[误] The students are going to a dance party on Saturday night.
[正] The students are going to a dance on Saturday night.
注:舞会应该说 dancing party,不要说 dance party,但一般只说 dance 也就够了。开舞会就说 give a dance,去参加舞会就说 go to a dance。那旅馆每晚举行舞会:At the hotel dances are held nightly. 我第一次遇见她是在一个舞会上:She and I first met at a dance. 他们请我参加舞会:They asked me to a dance. 规模较大的舞会,英语又可说 ball,是从拉丁文来的。
