常见误用提醒

使用 antenna:I bought a new antenna for my computer. → I bought a new antenna for my TV. (antenna 通常用于电视、收音机或通信设备,而不是电脑;电脑一般使用 Wi-Fi 或网络适配器,所以应改为 TV 或其他合适设备。)

使用 antenna:The insect has two antennas on its head. → The insect has two antennae on its head. (在生物学中,指昆虫触角时,复数形式常用 antennae,而不是 antennas;antennas 更多用于指天线装置,所以应根据语境使用正确复数。)

使用 receiver:I am the receiver of this email. → I am the recipient of this email. (在电子邮件或信件语境中,更常用“recipient”表示收件人,“receiver”多指设备或正式接收方,如“receiver of funds”。)
