常见错误
overbooked 通常用作形容词或被动语态,描述状态,而不是主动动词。应使用 be overbooked 结构。
overbook 作为动词时,宾语通常是服务或场所(如 hotel, flight),而不是具体的物品(如 room)。可以说 overbook a hotel,但更常见的是用被动形式 the hotel is overbooked。
近义词辨析
fully booked
fully booked 表示完全订满,没有空位,但未必超额;overbooked 强调预订数超过容量,可能涉及超额部分。

oversubscribed
oversubscribed 常用于活动、课程或订阅服务,表示需求超过供应,与 overbooked 相似,但更侧重报名或订阅场景。
