常见误用提醒

使用 remove:I removed the book on the table. → I removed the book from the table. (错误在于介词使用不当。remove 通常与 from 连用表示“从某处移除”,而不是 on。应改为 from the table 以准确表达从桌子上拿走书。)

使用 remove:He removed his job last month. → He was removed from his job last month. (错误在于主动语态误用。在表示“被开除职务”时,remove 常用被动语态,因为动作是施加于主语。应改为 was removed from 以符合英语习惯。)

使用 extract:I extracted the book from the library. → I borrowed the book from the library. (extract 通常指费力取出或提取具体物质或信息,不适用于借书这种一般获取行为;应使用 borrow 或 get。)
