易错句子We enjoyed cruise along the coast last Sunday.
正确表达We enjoyed cruising along the coast last Sunday.
enjoy 后面接动词时必须用动名词 -ing 形式,不能接动词原形。汉语说“享受乘船游览”时动词没有形式变化,所以容易直接把 cruise 原形放在 enjoy 后面;改成 cruising 才符合 enjoy + V-ing 的搭配。

易错句子The plane cruises 900 kilometers per hour.
正确表达The plane cruises at 900 kilometers per hour.
表示“以某一速度行驶”时,cruise 作不及物动词,速度前必须加介词 at(cruise at 900 km/h)。汉语的“以……速度”可以直接跟在动词后,学习者因此常漏掉 at;补上 at 句子才完整。

易错句子Our team cruised the final match.
正确表达Our team cruised through the final match.
表示“轻松取胜、顺利通过”时,cruise 是不及物动词,要带宾语必须借助介词 through。汉语“轻松拿下决赛”是动宾结构,学习者容易把宾语直接放在 cruise 后面;加 through 才符合该义项的不及物用法。
义项‘悠闲地移动’:cruise指悠闲缓慢地移动,hurry指匆忙快速移动,两者在速度和目的上相反。
义项‘以恒定速度行驶’:cruise指持续行驶,stop指停止运动,构成反义。
义项‘轻松而有说服力地获胜’:cruise指轻松取胜,struggle指艰难挣扎,结果或过程相反。
