常见错误

❌ 错误:I need to find a dictionary for the word meaning.
✓ 正确:I need to find a directory for the contact information.

错误地将 directory(目录)与 dictionary(词典)混淆。directory 用于列表信息如联系方式,而 dictionary 用于单词定义。

❌ 错误:Please check the direction for the file location.
✓ 正确:Please check the directory for the file location.

错误地使用 direction(方向)代替 directory(目录)。在计算机或信息管理中,directory 特指文件或数据的列表结构。

index 常指书籍或文档末尾的字母顺序列表,用于快速定位内容,而 directory 可以是独立的手册或在线列表,用于广泛查找。
