常见错误

❌ 错误:He has a holdback to speak English.
✓ 正确:He has a holdback in speaking English.

错误在于介词使用不当。holdback 表示障碍时,常与“in”搭配指在某个方面,而不是“to”后接动词原形。应改为“in + 动名词”形式。

❌ 错误:The holdback is very big.
✓ 正确:The holdback is significant.

错误在于用“big”形容holdback不够准确或正式。在英语中,描述障碍的严重性常用“significant”、“major”或“serious”等词,使表达更地道。
