常见错误

❌ 错误:The eagle lives in a nest on the tree.
✓ 正确:The eagle lives in an eyrie on the cliff.

错误:'nest'泛指鸟巢,但eyrie特指鹰等猛禽在高处的巢穴,常位于悬崖或高山,不适用于普通树木。应使用eyrie以准确描述猛禽栖息地。

❌ 错误:We visited the eyrie of the small birds.
✓ 正确:We visited the nest of the small birds.

错误:eyrie通常指大型猛禽(如鹰、雕)的巢穴,小型鸟类一般用nest。混淆可能导致用词不准确,应根据鸟类类型选择合适词汇。
