常见误用提醒

使用 promoted:He promoted to manager. → He was promoted to manager. (错误在于缺少被动语态的助动词“was”。“promoted”作为形容词描述状态时,通常用被动语态表示某人被晋升,应改为“He was promoted to manager.”以符合英语语法。)

使用 promoted:She got promoted as a director. → She was promoted to director. (错误在于使用了不正确的介词“as”。在表示晋升到具体职位时,英语中常用介词“to”,如“promoted to director”,而“as”多用于描述角色或身份,如“work as a director”。应改为“She was promoted to director.”以使表达更地道。)

使用 promotion:I got a promotion of manager. → I got a promotion to manager. (表示“晋升到某个职位”时,应用介词 to 而不是 of。of 通常用于表示“对……的推广”,如 promotion of a product。)
