常见误用提醒
使用 frenzied：He was very frenzied about the news. → He was frenzied by the news. (frenzied 通常描述极端失控状态，不直接与程度副词 very 连用；正确用法是 frenzied by 表示原因。)
使用 frenzied：She felt frenzied happy. → She felt frenzied with happiness. (frenzied 是形容词，不能修饰另一个形容词 happy；应用 frenzied with 结构表示情绪原因。)
使用 frantic：He was frantic to the noise. → He was frantic about the noise. (错误使用了介词 'to'，应改为 'about' 或 'with' 来表示原因，'frantic' 常与 'about' 搭配表示对某事的焦虑。)
