易错句子The audience's barracking to the comedian was relentless.

正确表达The audience's barracking of the comedian was relentless.

名词 barracking 表示“对某人的起哄”时，对象通常用 of 引出；汉语“对……起哄”容易让人误用 to。这里把 to 改为 of，才能正确标明被起哄的人。

易错句子The speaker faced many barracking from the crowd.

正确表达The speaker faced many barrackings from the crowd.

barracking 是可数名词，单数形式不能直接受 many 修饰；many 后要用复数形式 barrackings。若把起哄看作不可数总体，则应用 much barracking，而不是 many barracking。
