常见错误Common mistakes
易错句子Look! The rooster crowing.正确表达Look! The rooster is crowing.
现在进行时由 be + 动词 -ing 构成,不能省略 be;汉语“公鸡在打鸣”没有对应的 be,但英语主句必须有 is。
易错句子He is always crowing his success.正确表达He is always crowing about his success.
crow 表示“自夸”时是不及物动词,后面要用 about 或 over 引出夸耀的内容,不能像汉语“自夸某事”那样直接带宾语。
易错句子The baby enjoys to crow.正确表达The baby enjoys crowing.
enjoy 后接动词时只能用 -ing 形式,不能用不定式 to do;应说 enjoys crowing,而不是 enjoys to crow。

易混词Confusing words
- growing
- 生长;增长 · 两词只差开头一个辅音:growing 读 /ˈɡroʊɪŋ/,crowing 读 /ˈkroʊɪŋ/,/ɡ/ 与 /k/ 听混就会误解。意思上 growing 表示生长、增大、发展,与公鸡啼叫或自夸无关。
- croaking
- (青蛙、乌鸦等)发出低沉沙哑的叫声 · croaking 多指青蛙、乌鸦等沙哑低沉的叫声,也可指人嗓音嘶哑地说话;crowing 专指公鸡响亮尖锐的啼叫。读音相近(/kroʊk-/ 与 /kroʊ-/),注意结尾是否带 /k/ 音。
- boasting
- 吹嘘;夸耀 · 在“自夸”这一义项上与 crowing 重叠,但 boasting 是普通动词,常直接带宾语或接 about,语气中性偏贬;crowing 更强调得意洋洋、志得意满的神态,多作 crow about/over,更口语化。
