Common mistakes

chronicler 是名词，意为“编年史作者”，不能当动词使用。表达“记录”应用动词 chronicle，其过去式是 chronicled。误句把 chronicler 误当作动词加 -ed，应改为 chronicled。
This diary is a chronicler of daily life in the 1800s.This diary is a chronicle of daily life in the 1800s.
chronicler 指“人”，即编年史作者；而“记录/编年史”本身应用名词 chronicle。汉语的“记录”既可指人也可指物，英语则用不同词表达。这里日记是物，所以应用 chronicle。
