常见误用提醒

使用 debilitated:I am very debilitated after the exam. → I am exhausted after the exam. (debilitated 通常描述严重或长期的虚弱,如疾病所致;日常疲劳用 exhausted 或 tired 更自然。)

使用 debilitated:He debilitated from the accident. → He was debilitated by the accident. (debilitated 作为形容词或过去分词,常需与 be 动词连用构成被动语态,表示状态。)

使用 deplete:The battery is depleting. → The battery is depleted. (deplete 是及物动词,通常需要宾语。正确用法应为被动语态 "is depleted" 表示状态,或使用 "is running out" 更自然。)
