易错句子He answered my question blunt.
正确表达He answered my question bluntly.
blunt 是形容词,只能作定语或连系动词后的表语(如 He is blunt),不能修饰动词;修饰动词 answered 必须用副词 bluntly。汉语“他直截了当地回答了我的问题”里“直截了当”没有词形变化,学习者便常把形容词直接搬到动词后面,才出现 answered ... blunt。改成 bluntly 后由副词修饰动词 answered,语法与意思才都对。

表示“对某人说话直率、不留情面”时,blunt 的固定搭配是 blunt with sb,介词不用 to;to 通常表方向或对象,不构成这一搭配。汉语“她对我很直率”里的“对”容易被逐字译成 to,因而出错。换成 with 才符合英语搭配。

blunt 只表示“(刀、笔尖等)不锋利”或“(言辞)直率、生硬”,不能形容身体部位失去知觉。汉语“手指麻木/冻麻了”中的“麻木”与“钝”意思相近,学习者容易误选 blunt;英语里说身体某部位没有知觉要用 numb。故本句应用 numb。
