常见错误

❌ 错误:She has an affectation to be kind.
✓ 正确:She has an affectation of kindness.

错误在于使用了 'to be' 结构,正确用法是 'affectation of + 名词',表示某种特定的做作行为。

❌ 错误:His affectation is very real.
✓ 正确:His affectation is very obvious.

错误在于用 'real' 描述 affectation,这逻辑矛盾,因为 affectation 本质是假装;应使用 'obvious' 等词强调其明显性。
