常见误用提醒

使用 facilitate:He facilitated me to finish the project. → He facilitated the completion of the project. (facilitate 不直接接人作宾语,应改为促进某事(如项目完成),使用名词或动名词形式。)

使用 facilitate:This tool facilitates for better communication. → This tool facilitates better communication. (facilitate 后直接接宾语,不需要加介词 for,应直接使用名词短语。)

使用 promote:He promoted to a higher position. → He was promoted to a higher position. (promote是及物动词,表示晋升时常用被动语态,因为主语是被晋升的对象,需加be动词。)
