常见错误

❌ 错误:My salary has plateaued on a high level.
✓ 正确:My salary has plateaued at a high level.

错误使用了介词 'on',应改为 'at',因为 'plateau' 在比喻稳定水平时,常用 'at' 表示处于某个点。

❌ 错误:He reached to a plateau in his career.
✓ 正确:He reached a plateau in his career.

错误添加了介词 'to','reach' 作为及物动词直接接宾语 'a plateau',不需要额外介词。
