grammar · medium
易错句子They cremated the death body.
正确表达They cremated the dead body.
death 是名词,dead 才是形容词;修饰 body 表示“尸体”时应用 dead。中文没有词性变化,容易误用名词修饰名词。
grammar · medium
易错句子His body cremated.
正确表达His body was cremated.
cremate 是及物动词,body 是被火化的对象,必须用被动语态 be + 过去分词。中文说“遗体火化了”不含被动标记,所以容易漏掉 was。
grammar · medium
易错句子The body was cremated into ashes.
正确表达The body was cremated.
cremate 本身已含有“烧成灰”的意思,再加 into ashes 是语义重复,属于中式表达。
本义项指火化(cremate)与土葬(bury)相对;bury 是把遗体埋入土中,cremate 是火化为骨灰。
