常见误用提醒
使用 fair：He is a fair man, always treat others equally. → He is a fair man, always treating others equally. (错误在于 treat 应该用现在分词 treating 作为伴随状语，以正确连接句子结构。)
使用 fair：The fair is hold every year in spring. → The fair is held every year in spring. (错误在于 hold 的过去分词应为 held，表示被动语态，正确形式是 is held。)
使用 fare：I need to fare the bill. → I need to pay the fare. (错误地将 fare 用作动词支付费用，正确用法是 pay the fare，fare 作为名词指费用。)
