在使用英语时，因受汉语思维方式或文化的影响而拼造出不符合英语表达习惯的，带有中文语音、语法、词汇特色的英语，因带有明显的汉语痕迹，并不能被以英语为母语者所接受。

12. 这个圣诞你回家吗?
Will you be going back home for the Christmas?是的，我回去。Of course! (这一句是错的)
当然。Sure. / Certainly.(这种说法是正确的)
以英语为母语的人使用of course的频率要比中国的学生低得多，只有在回答一些众所周知的问题时才说 of course。因为of course后面隐含的一句话是“当然我知道啦!难道我是一个傻瓜吗?”因此，of course带有挑衅的意味。在交谈时，用sure或certainly效果会好得多。同时，of course not也具挑衅的意味。正常情况下语气温和的说法是certainly not.
