網(wǎng)友Camden2002今天上午給我發(fā)來一篇英文文章，作者是美國一所大學(xué)的英語講師，內(nèi)容則是美國大學(xué)生常犯的十大語法錯(cuò)誤（top ten grammar problems）。Camden2002網(wǎng)友建議我把這篇文章翻譯出來，讓國內(nèi)的英語學(xué)習(xí)者看看，美國大學(xué)生常犯的這些錯(cuò)誤，我們自己是否也常犯。這個(gè)建議非常好，不過我最近比較忙，各位的時(shí)間也很寶貴，所以我只把這十大語法錯(cuò)誤的大意翻譯出來，供各位參考一下。另外請(qǐng)注意：在下面的十組例句中，第一句是病句，第二句則是改正過來的句子。

　　九、句子缺少成分
