Common mistakes
I received a bursar from the university to cover tuition.I received a bursary from the university to cover tuition.
bursar 指人(大学财务主管),bursary 指奖学金/助学金。中文词条里‘领取奖学金的学生’容易让人误用 bursar,但表示这笔资助时应用 bursary,把 -ar 换成 -ary 才能表达‘奖学金’。
Bursar is responsible for the university's finances.The bursar is responsible for the university's finances.
bursar 是单数可数名词,在句中作主语时不能光杆使用,需要加定冠词 the 特指这所大学的财务主管;中文没有冠词,所以容易漏掉 the。加上 the 后句子语法才完整。
