易错句子The workers clamoured higher wages.
正确表达The workers clamoured for higher wages.
clamour 表示“强烈要求”时是不及物动词，必须用 clamour for + 所要求的东西；汉语“要求更高的工资”可以直接把宾语放在动词后，英语不能照搬这种结构，漏掉介词 for 句子就不成立。

正确表达They were clamouring for help outside the burning building.
clamouring 是动词的 -ing 形式，不能单独作谓语；现在进行时由 be + 现在分词构成，这里要补出 were。汉语“他们在喊叫”没有助动词，因此容易漏掉 be 动词。

英式拼写 clamour 加 -ing 时直接加词尾：不双写 m，因为重音不在最后一个音节；同时保留 -our，写成 clamouring。双写 m 的 clammering 并非英语单词。
clamour 强调公开、喧嚷且持续地施压要求，常带群体性；demand 更中性，可正式或日常，语气不必喧闹。注意：clamouring 是英式拼写，美式拼作 clamoring。
clamour 常指一群人持续喧嚷着要求某事；shout 只是提高嗓门发声，不一定有要求或群体意味。
