常见错误

❌ 错误:He wrote a narrative about his life.
✓ 正确:He wrote a narrative of his life.

错误在于使用了 about,虽然口语中可能接受,但更地道的搭配是 narrative of,表示关于某事的故事,强调连贯叙述。

❌ 错误:This is a very narrative story.
✓ 正确:This is a very narrative story. (但更常见:This story has a strong narrative.)

错误在于重复,narrative 作为形容词已表示叙述性的,直接说 narrative story 略显冗余,可改用其他表达如 compelling narrative 来强调故事性。
