常见错误

❌ 错误:In the contrary, I think it's good.
✓ 正确:On the contrary, I think it's good.

错误使用了介词'in',正确应为'on',因为'on the contrary'是固定搭配,表示'正相反'。

❌ 错误:He is not lazy; on the contrary, he works hard always.
✓ 正确:He is not lazy; on the contrary, he always works hard.

语序错误,'always'作为副词应放在动词前或句末,正确语序为'he always works hard'以保持句子流畅。

近义词辨析

conversely

'conversely'更中性,用于逻辑对比或转换话题,而'on the contrary'强调直接反驳或对立,语气更强。

He prefers tea; conversely, she likes coffee. (中性对比) vs. He doesn't like tea; on the contrary, he hates it. (强烈反驳)

instead

'instead'表示替代或选择另一选项,而'on the contrary'用于否定前文并陈述相反事实,不涉及替代关系。

We didn't go out; instead, we stayed home. (替代选择) vs. We didn't go out; on the contrary, we had to cancel plans. (相反事实)
