常见误用提醒
使用 sacrificing：I am sacrificing my money to buy a new car. → I am sacrificing my savings to buy a new car. (错误：'sacrificing money' 不自然，因为 money 通常指具体金额，而 sacrificing 更常与抽象或具体资源搭配。正确：用 'savings' 表示积蓄，更符合牺牲有价值之物的语境。)
使用 sacrificing：She is sacrificing for her health by eating less. → She is sacrificing her favorite foods for her health. (错误：'sacrificing for her health' 缺少直接宾语，使句子不完整。正确：添加 'her favorite foods' 作为牺牲的对象，结构更清晰。)
使用 compromising：He is compromising his health by working too hard. (误用为动词 'compromise' 的现在分词) → He is compromising on his health by working too hard. 或 He compromises his health by working too hard. ('compromising' 作为形容词，意为'妥协的'，不能直接作动词用。正确用法应使用动词 'compromise' 或搭配介词如 'on' 表示在方面妥协。)
