常见错误

❌ 错误:We need to localize the problem to solve it.
✓ 正确:We need to localize the source of the problem to solve it.

错误在于 'localize the problem' 可能不自然,因为 'localize' 通常接具体对象如源头或位置。正确用法应明确指定要定位的事物,例如 'source',使意思更清晰。

❌ 错误:The company localized their products in China market.
✓ 正确:The company localized their products for the Chinese market.

错误在于介词使用不当,'in' 通常表示在某个区域内本地化,而 'for' 更准确地表示针对特定市场或目的。此外,'China market' 应改为 'Chinese market' 以符合英语习惯。
