易错句子The monks cloistered in the old abbey for thirty years.

正确表达The monks were cloistered in the old abbey for thirty years.

cloistered 是形容词，不能单独作谓语；表示“被关在修道院中、隐居”时要用 be 动词 + cloistered（were cloistered）。若改用动词 cloister，它是及物动词，必须带宾语，如 cloistered themselves in the old abbey。

易错句子Since her husband died, she has been cloistered of the world.

正确表达Since her husband died, she has been cloistered from the world.

表示“与外界隔绝、与世隔绝”时，固定搭配是 cloistered from the world，介词用 from；不能用 of（受汉语“……的”影响容易误写成 of）。

易错句子Since retiring, he has lived in a cloistered near the mountains.

正确表达Since retiring, he has lived in a cloister near the mountains.

表示“修道院”这个地点的名词是 cloister，可直接跟在冠词后作介词宾语；cloistered 是形容词，不能跟在 a 之后充当名词。这里改的是词性，不是词义。
