中文:
标准英文固定习语,用于表示为自身工作、决策、失误主动承担义务、过错与管理职责。
English: This Chinglish incorrectly adds the definite article 'the' before 'responsibility'. According to the Cambridge Dictionary of English Grammar, 'take responsibility' is a zero-article collocation in English, which means accepting general liability for one's actions. The article 'the' is only used when referring to a specific, previously mentioned responsibility. This error reflects the interference of Chinese grammar, which does not have equivalent article systems (Macquarie Dictionary, 2024).
Chinese: 该中式英语在“responsibility”前错误添加了定冠词“the”。根据《剑桥英语语法词典》,“take responsibility”在英语中是零冠词搭配,表示为自身行为承担一般责任。只有指代特定、前文提及的责任时才使用定冠词“the”。此错误反映了中文语法(无对应冠词系统)的干扰(《麦考瑞词典》, 2024)。
