❌ 错误:They have complementary skills, but they always argue.
✓ 正确:They have complementary skills, so they collaborate effectively.

例句逻辑矛盾,互补技能通常促进合作而非冲突,应调整上下文以体现和谐关系。

supplementary

“supplementary”强调额外添加以完善,可能不强调内在和谐;而“complementary”更强调事物间天然的互益和整体性。

additional

“additional”仅表示数量上的增加,中性且通用;“complementary”则强调质量上的补充和协同作用,更具描述性。
