常见误用提醒
使用 uncalculated:He made an uncalculated mistake. → He made an uncalculated decision that led to a mistake. ('uncalculated' 通常修饰行动或决定,而不是直接修饰'mistake'(错误本身可能不是未经计算的,而是由未经计算的决策导致)。)
使用 uncalculated:This is an uncalculated problem. → This problem arose from uncalculated actions. ('uncalculated' 不直接修饰'problem'(问题),应描述导致问题的行动或因素,以更符合英语习惯。)
使用 calculated:He made a calculated mistake. → He made a calculated decision. (calculated 通常形容积极或中性的计划行为,如决策或风险,不用于错误(mistake),因为错误往往是无意的。应改为 decision 或类似词。)
