易错句子The rules are very complicate.
正确表达The rules are very complicated.
complicate 是动词原形,不能放在 very 后作表语;表示“复杂的”要用形容词 complicated。汉语形容词没有词尾变化,学习者容易漏掉 -d。

易错句子This question is too complicated to answer it.
正确表达This question is too complicated to answer.
在“too + 形容词 + to do”结构中,不定式 answer 的宾语就是主句主语 this question,因此后面不能再加代词 it;再加 it 会造成宾语重复。汉语常说“回答它”,容易把代词带进英语。

intricate强调细节多、各部分交织精细,多形容图案、结构、情节;complicated更宽泛,强调整体难以理解或应对,不突出细节精巧。
