易错句子She wore a charcoal color dress.
正确表达She wore a charcoal dress.
汉语“炭灰色”字面上带“色”字,学习者容易直译出 color;但定语位置上的形容词 charcoal 直接修饰名词,无需再加 color,加了反而显得不自然。若要强调“……色的”,英语用 a charcoal-colored dress。

易错句子The evening sky turned to charcoal.
正确表达The evening sky turned charcoal.
表示颜色变化时 turn 直接跟颜色形容词,不加介词 to,正如 the leaves turned red;turn to 的意思是“转向、求助于”,加上 to 会把句子说成“天空变成了木炭(这种材料)”,偏离了想说颜色的意思。

正确表达The figures are made of charcoal.
汉语“由……制成”里的“由”表示材料,英语用 be made of / from + 材料;by 专门引出施动者(由谁来做),用 by 就把 charcoal 当成了制作者,与“木炭制的”这一含义不符。
