易错句子My uncle is a bats.
正确表达My uncle is bats.
bats 表示“发疯的”时是形容词,只能作表语,不能像名词那样受冠词 a 修饰。去掉 a 后,系动词 is 后直接接形容词表语,句子才成立;若要说“一个疯子”,应改用名词 a madman。

易错句子She is a bats old lady.
正确表达She is a batty old lady.
bats 只用于系动词之后作表语(如 He is bats),不能放在名词前作定语。修饰名词的定语位置要用同义的 batty,故 a bats old lady 应改为 a batty old lady。
bats 和 batty 都可作表语表示“疯疯癫癫的”,但 bats 更俚语,常见于英式非正式口语,如 go bats;batty 语气稍轻,更偏“古怪、头脑不正常”,可作定语或表语。
表示“发疯的”时,mad 更通用;在英式英语中 mad 还常表示“生气的”,而 bats 没有这个意思。bats 更口语、更俚语,多见于非正式表达。
insane 更正式,常指医学或法律意义上的精神失常,也可夸张表示“疯狂”;bats 是俚语,语气更轻、更口语,不用于正式诊断。
