常见错误

❌ 错误:I petitioned him to help me.
✓ 正确:I petitioned him for help.

错误在于动词 petition 后不应直接接不定式 to do,而应使用介词 for 加名词或动名词,表示请求的内容。正确用法强调请求的具体事物。

❌ 错误:She made a petition about the noise.
✓ 正确:She filed a petition against the noise.

错误在于使用 made 和 about 不够正式或准确;petition 作为名词时,常与 file、submit 等动词搭配,并用 against 表示反对某事,这更符合法律或正式请愿的语境。
