常见错误Common mistakes
易错句子I will chemo next week.正确表达I will have chemo next week.
英语中 chemo 是名词，不是动词；汉语可以说“化疗”作动词，容易直译成 I chemo。需搭配 have、get、receive、undergo 等动词，改正后 have 充当谓语，chemo 作宾语，语义不变。
易错句子I had a chemo last month.正确表达I had chemo last month.
chemo 是不可数名词，前面不能直接加 a，也没有复数形式。去掉 a 后表示“做化疗”这一泛指义，符合不可数名词的用法；若要表示“一次/一轮化疗”，应说 a round/course of chemo。
