中式英语之鉴:矮小的房屋

91. 由于街道的扩建，道路两旁矮小的房屋全部被拆除了。

[误] The short and small houses on both sides of the road have been demolished due to its widening.

[正] The low and small houses on both sides of the road have been demolished due to its widening.

注：英语中，形容人或树等的高矮要用形容词 tall 和 short；但是指山峦、房屋或其它建筑物的高矮，我们通常用 high 和 low。
