常见错误

❌ 错误:He gave an adulatory speech to praise her.
✓ 正确:He gave an adulatory speech praising her.

错误在于使用了 'to praise' 作为不定式,而 'adulatory' 本身已包含赞美之意,应直接跟动名词或名词短语,如 'praising her' 或 'in praise of her',以避免冗余。

❌ 错误:She is adulatory because she likes him.
✓ 正确:She is adulatory towards him because she admires him excessively.

错误在于句子不完整,'adulatory' 通常需要介词如 'towards' 或 'of' 来指明对象,且应说明过度或不真诚的赞美原因,以符合词义。
