常见错误

❌ 错误:The shoddiness is because the workers are lazy.
✓ 正确:The shoddiness is due to the workers' carelessness.

错误:用“because”引导原因从句时,通常用于完整句子,而“shoddiness”作为名词,更常用“due to”或“because of”接名词短语。正确用法强调原因的具体性,避免口语化表达。

❌ 错误:This product has a shoddiness.
✓ 正确:This product exhibits shoddiness.

错误:“shoddiness”是不可数名词,表示抽象质量状态,不应加不定冠词“a”。正确用法用动词如“exhibit”或“show”来搭配,更符合英语习惯。
