易错句子They birdlime on the branches every spring.
正确表达They birdlime the branches every spring.
birdlime 是及物动词,后面直接接被涂抹的对象,不需要介词。汉语说“在树枝上涂鸟胶”,介词“在”容易让学习者照搬成 on,但英语里 the branches 应直接作宾语。

以不发音的 e 结尾的动词加 -ed 时要先去掉 e,再加 -ed,所以 birdlime 的过去式是 birdlimed,而不是 birdlimeed。

slime 指用稀泥或黏液覆盖某物,常带脏污、黏滑恶心的语感,也可用于比喻;birdlime 指专门用来捕鸟的黏胶,动作目的是黏住鸟,不带贬义或比喻色彩。
ensnare 泛指用陷阱或计谋使人或动物落入圈套,宾语常是人,也常用于抽象处境;birdlime 是具体的物理动作——在树枝上涂抹鸟胶黏住鸟,宾语是树枝或鸟。
