常见误用提醒

使用 creation:The creation of the problem was caused by poor planning. → The problem was caused by poor planning. (creation 通常指积极的创造或产生,不适用于负面事物如问题;这里应直接说问题由糟糕规划引起,避免误用 creation。)

使用 creation:I made a creation of a new app yesterday. → I created a new app yesterday. (creation 是名词,不应与动词 make 搭配表示动作;正确用法是直接用动词 create,或说 the creation of a new app 作为名词短语。)

使用 creative:He is a creativity person. → He is a creative person. (错误使用了名词 creativity 作为形容词,应使用形容词 creative 来修饰名词 person。)
