常见误用提醒

使用 misspeak:I misspeak the answer in the exam. → I gave the wrong answer in the exam. ('misspeak' 主要指说话时的口误或表达错误,不适用于书面考试中的答案错误;应使用更通用的表达如'gave the wrong answer'。)

使用 misspeak:He always misspeaks when he writes emails. → He often makes typos or errors when he writes emails. ('misspeak' 特指口头表达中的错误,不适用于书面写作;描述邮件错误时,应用'makes typos'或'makes errors'。)

使用 stutter:He stuttered his words. → He stuttered while speaking. (stutter 通常描述说话时的行为,而不是直接接 'words' 作宾语。正确用法是接从句或介词短语,如 'stutter when talking'。)
