Common mistakes

英语中人名是专有名词，首字母必须大写；汉语没有大小写之分，所以容易误写成小写。把句首的 naomi 改为 Naomi 才符合英语书写规则。
Naomi was a mother-in-law of Ruth.Naomi was the mother-in-law of Ruth.
Ruth 只有一个婆婆，是唯一的、明确的亲属关系，所以要用定冠词 the 表示特指；a 会暗示 Ruth 可能有多个婆婆，不符合语义。汉语没有冠词，因此学习者容易误用。

Pronunciation & Spelling
Naomi 读作 /ˈneɪəmi/，重音在第一个音节。没有常用英语单词与它完全押韵。上面词中，Miami、salami、semi 都以字母 -mi 结尾，读作 /mi/，但重音和元音都不同，不是韵脚。Enemy 的节奏与 Naomi 相近（重音在首，随后是 /əmi/），但它以 -my 拼写，且首元音是 /ɛ/。注意不要因拼写把 Naomi 误读成 Miami 或 salami 的音。
