常见误用提醒

使用 floral:The garden is very floral. → The garden has many floral plants. (“floral”通常修饰具体名词(如植物、图案),不直接描述抽象状态;应改为“has many floral plants”以明确指花卉植物。)

使用 floral:She likes to floral her room. → She likes to decorate her room with floral items. (“floral”是形容词,不能用作动词;应使用动词“decorate”并搭配“with floral items”来表达装饰。)

使用 flowery:The garden is very flowery with many trees. → The garden is very flowery with many flowers. (flowery 主要指“多花的”或“花哨的”,描述树木时应用其他词如'wooded',这里应强调花朵。)
