常见错误

❌ 错误:He is very piggish in eating.
✓ 正确:He eats very piggishly.

错误在于误用介词结构;'piggish' 是形容词,通常修饰名词或与系动词连用,而 'piggishly' 是副词,应直接修饰动词 'eats' 以描述吃的方式。

❌ 错误:She has a piggish to money.
✓ 正确:She is piggish about money.

错误在于使用了不正确的介词 'to';'piggish' 描述贪婪时,常与 'about' 搭配,表示对某事物的贪心,如 'be piggish about something'。

近义词辨析

greedy

'greedy' 更通用,指对食物、金钱等的强烈欲望,中性或贬义;'piggish' 特指像猪一样贪吃、邋遢或自私,贬义更强,带有形象比喻。

He is greedy for power (中性描述欲望) vs. He ate with piggish abandon (强调粗鲁贪吃像猪)。

slovenly

'slovenly' 主要形容邋遢、不整洁的外表或习惯,较正式;'piggish' 涵盖邋遢,但更强调贪吃、自私等猪般特质,口语化且贬义更重。

Her slovenly appearance was noted (描述不整洁) vs. His piggish mess included food stains (强调像猪一样脏乱贪吃)。
