✓ 正确:He gave a description of the accident.

description 后应接介词 of 而不是 about,表示描述的对象,这是固定搭配。

❌ 错误:The description of the book is very interesting.
✓ 正确:The description of the book makes it sound very interesting.

description 本身不能是 interesting,应改为描述使某物听起来有趣,以符合英语表达习惯。

account

account 常指对事件或经历的叙述,可能更主观或详细;description 更中性,可用于任何事物的客观描述。
