常见误用提醒
使用 fustian:He wore a fustian suit to the party. → He wore a coarse suit to the party. (fustian 作形容词指“棉麻粗布的”,但现代英语中更常用 coarse 或 rough 描述布料质地,fustian 已较少用于日常穿着描述,多用于历史或比喻语境。)
使用 fustian:Her speech was very fustian and impressive. → Her speech was very eloquent and impressive. (fustian 形容言辞时带贬义,指“浮夸空洞”,而 impressive 是褒义词,两者矛盾。应改用 eloquent(雄辩的)等褒义词。)
使用 pretentious:He is very pretentious to his friends. → He acts pretentious around his friends. (错误在于误用 'to' 表示对象,应改为 'around' 或调整句型,'pretentious' 通常描述行为或态度,而非直接对象。)
