常见错误

❌ 错误:She is a fishwife who sells fish.
✓ 正确:She is a fishwife known for her loud voice.

错误用法过于字面化,只强调卖鱼职业;正确用法应突出引申义,即说话粗鲁的特征,因为现代英语中该词更常指行为而非职业。

❌ 错误:He called her fishwife without any reason.
✓ 正确:He called her a fishwife without any reason.

错误用法缺少冠词 'a';正确用法应为 'a fishwife',因为它是可数名词,需要冠词来指代单数个体。
