常见错误

❌ 错误:I saw a aardvark in the forest.

❌ 错误:Aardvarks is nocturnal animals.
✓ 正确:Aardvarks are nocturnal animals.

错误:主谓不一致。'Aardvarks' 是复数名词,应搭配复数动词 'are',而不是单数 'is'。

近义词辨析

anteater

'anteater' 泛指以蚂蚁或白蚁为食的动物,如食蚁兽,但土豚是特定物种,属于哺乳动物中的管齿目,而食蚁兽属于异关节总目。

While both eat ants, the aardvark is native to Africa, whereas anteaters are found in the Americas.

pangolin

'pangolin'(穿山甲)也是以蚂蚁和白蚁为食的哺乳动物,但有鳞片覆盖,属于鳞甲目,而土豚无鳞片,属于管齿目,外观和分类不同。

The pangolin has scales for protection, but the aardvark relies on burrowing and its tough skin.
