常见误用提醒
使用 clash：The two colors are clashing each other. → The two colors clash with each other. (clash 作为不及物动词，通常不直接接宾语；正确用法是加介词 with 来表示冲突对象，避免中式英语的直译。)
使用 clash：He had a clash to his boss. → He had a clash with his boss. (表示与某人冲突时，应用介词 with，而不是 to；这是中文学习者常犯的介词错误，需注意固定搭配。)
使用 contradict：I contradict with his opinion. → I contradict his opinion. (错误：误加了介词 'with'。正确：'contradict' 是及物动词，直接接宾语，无需介词。应改为 'contradict his opinion'。)
