常见误用提醒
使用 sonorous:The music is very sonorous loud. → The music is very sonorous. (sonorous 本身已包含“响亮”之意,无需再加 loud,避免冗余。)
使用 sonorous:He speaks in a sonorous way that is noisy. → He speaks in a sonorous way that is resonant. (sonorous 强调洪亮悦耳,而非嘈杂(noisy),应用 resonant 或类似词保持正面含义。)
使用 resonant:His voice is resonance. → His voice is resonant. ('resonance'是名词,不能直接作表语描述声音特性;应使用形容词'resonant'来修饰声音。)
