易错句子The cherry trees blossom many flowers every spring.
正确表达The cherry trees produce many flowers every spring.
blossom 是不及物动词,后面不能接宾语,所以 blossom many flowers 不成立。汉语"开很多花"把"花"放在动词后面当宾语,直译过来就错了。要保留"花"作宾语,应换成及物动词 produce 或 bear;若想继续用 blossom,则说 The cherry trees blossom every spring,不再带宾语。

易错句子She blossomed to a confident leader during her college years.
正确表达She blossomed into a confident leader during her college years.
blossom 表示"成长为、发展成"时,后面固定搭配介词 into,不能用 to。汉语"成长为"里的"为/到"容易被直译成 to,但英语这里只接受 into,所以要把 to 改成 into。

易错句子Cherry trees are blossoming every spring in Japan.
正确表达Cherry trees blossom every spring in Japan.
every spring 表示反复出现的习惯性动作,英语习惯用一般现在时 blossom;现在进行时 are blossoming 强调说话时正在进行,与 every spring 矛盾。汉语"每年都开花"不区分进行和习惯,容易照搬进行时,这里要改用一般现在时。
对应“开花、绽放”义:指花朵或植物丧失生机而干枯、凋落。与 blossom 的“绽放”相反,特指植物衰败。
对应“开始繁荣、兴旺”义:指事业、关系或趋势由盛转衰。与 blossom 的“蓬勃发展”相对,用于抽象事物。
