易错句子At the debate, the young reporter beard the mayor on live television.
正确表达At the debate, the young reporter bearded the mayor on live television.
beard 是规则动词，过去式与过去分词都加 -ed 构成 bearded。汉语动词没有时态词形变化（“怼了市长”只靠“了”表示过去），所以学习者容易直接沿用原形。句中 At the debate 表示过去发生的事，主语后也没有第三人称单数现在时标记（现在时应为 beards），因此必须用过去式 bearded。

易错句子She bearded against the senator during the hearing.
正确表达She bearded the senator during the hearing.
beard 作“勇敢对抗、质问”讲时是及物动词，后面直接跟宾语，中间不加介词。汉语说“与/对某人对抗”，其中的介词容易被学习者照搬成 against。去掉 against，让 beard 直接带宾语 the senator，句子才符合英语的及物搭配。

易错句子His beard of the company president in front of the press shocked the board.
正确表达His bearding of the company president in front of the press shocked the board.
物主代词 his 后面必须接名词性成分，动词原形不能直接出现。这里要表达“他大胆对抗总裁”这一行为，需用动词 beard 的动名词 bearding（his bearding of... 相当于“他……的行为”）。若写成 His beard，beard 会被读成名词“胡须”，全句变成“他的胡须”，意思不通。
深入虎穴；当面勇敢对抗有权势的人
She bearded the lion in his den and told the CEO exactly what she thought.
