Common mistakes

bracing 是形容词,意为“令人振奋的”,不能直接带宾语。汉语“提神”的及物用法容易导致误用,应去掉宾语 me,并加系动词 is 构成系表结构。
I felt bracing after the swim.I felt refreshed after the swim.
-ing 形容词 bracing 描述事物本身的“令人振奋”性质,不能用来形容人自身的感受。表示人的感受时应用 -ed 形式的形容词(如 refreshed),因此要说 felt refreshed。

bracing 通常形容天气、空气或活动等使人清爽提神,不用于抽象言语或消息。“令人振奋的”在指话语或消息时,应使用 encouraging 或 inspiring,避免搭配不当。
