常见误用提醒

使用 speckle:The sky was speckled by stars. → The sky was speckled with stars. (错误使用了介词 'by',正确应用 'with' 来表示材料或原因,'speckled with' 是固定搭配。)

使用 speckle:He has many speckles on his face. → He has many freckles on his face. (将 'speckle' 误用于描述人脸上的雀斑,'freckle' 更准确,'speckle' 通常指更一般的斑点。)

使用 spot:I spot him at the party yesterday. → I spotted him at the party yesterday. (spot 作为动词表示认出时,过去式应为 spotted,需注意动词时态变化。)
