常见错误

❌ 错误:I have a motivation to study.
✓ 正确:I have motivation to study.

motivation通常作不可数名词,表示抽象的动力概念,一般不加冠词a。但在特定语境下,如指某种具体类型的动机时,可加冠词,但日常使用中多省略。

❌ 错误:His motivation of learning is high.
✓ 正确:His motivation for learning is high.

表示做某事的动机时,应用介词for,而不是of。of多用于表示所属关系,而for强调目的或原因,更符合motivation的搭配习惯。
