发问请不要用 how to (Please don't start a question with "how to")
不知我这样算不算多事。不过我觉得大家既然是来学语言的,就应该学着使用正确的用法。
我想知道的人一定也很多,只是可能我脸皮厚一点,那我就先代其他知道的人告诉那些
不知道的人了。
How to.... 常常翻译成「如何......」,可是这在英文里不是用在问句里的。
How to.... 要当个名词看,所以更贴切的翻译其实是「...... 的方法」。
也就是说,当你用 how to 开头时,其实你就是在教导别人该如何如何做了。
以 how to 开头的文章应该是个教学文,结果我点进来看不到教学,只看到发问。
在英文里,发问就要用问句,所以请使用 "how do you....?" 或是 "how can I....?"
例:
How do you say 猫咪 in English? (O)
How can I say 猫咪 in English? (O)
How to say 猫咪 in English (X) ← 这句话较好的翻译是「用英文说猫咪的方法」,是教学。

THANK YOU, AUSTIN!!! Constantly seeing "How to say..." drives me crazy. Really, if you want to improve your English, the first thing you should try to do is learn to ask questions correctly. I don't mean to sound rude; it just amazes me that sometimes people ask about very advanced grammar or vocabulary by saying, "How to..."
