常见误用提醒
使用 quarrelsome：He is very quarrelsome to argue with his friends. → He is very quarrelsome and often argues with his friends. (错误用法中'quarrelsome to argue'结构不正确，quarrelsome是形容词，直接描述状态，应用并列结构或从句。)
使用 quarrelsome：She had a quarrelsome yesterday. → She was quarrelsome yesterday. (quarrelsome是形容词，不能直接作名词用。应使用系动词+形容词的结构来描述状态。)
使用 belligerent：He is very belligerent to help others. → He is very belligerent towards others. (错误在于误用介词 to 表示敌对对象，belligerent 通常搭配 towards 或 with 来指示目标，如 'belligerent towards others' 表示对他人敌对。)
