常见误用提醒
使用 adamantine：He is very adamantine to change his mind. → He is adamantine in his refusal to change his mind. (错误在于将 adamantine 误用作副词或直接修饰动词。正确用法是作为形容词修饰名词，或通过介词短语（如 in）连接。)
使用 adamantine：This metal is adamantine hard. → This metal is adamantine in hardness. (错误在于重复使用表示硬度的词。Adamantine 本身已包含“坚硬”之意，应避免与 hard 等词冗余搭配，可用介词短语明确属性。)
使用 resolute：He is very resolute to finish the task. → He is very resolute in finishing the task. (错误在于使用了“to”不定式，而“resolute”通常与介词“in”搭配，后接动名词或名词，表示在某个方面坚决。应改为“resolute in finishing the task”。)
