常见错误

❌ 错误:We need a moonshot to improve our daily work.
✓ 正确:We need incremental improvements to our daily work.

moonshot指高风险高回报的大胆尝试,日常改进应用更贴切的词如incremental improvements。

❌ 错误:The moonshot was failed last year.
✓ 正确:The moonshot failed last year.

moonshot作主语时,失败直接用failed,无需被动语态,因它是事件或项目本身。

breakthrough

breakthrough强调已实现的重大进展或发现,而moonshot更侧重尝试过程或目标本身,可能未成功。
