易错句子The pharmacist dispensed him his medicine.
正确表达The pharmacist dispensed his medicine to him.
dispense 表示“分发/配发”时，结构是 dispense sth to sb，不能像汉语“发给某人某物”那样接双宾语；改为 dispensed his medicine to him 才符合英语搭配。
grammar · medium
易错句子The machine dispensed out the cash.
正确表达The machine dispensed the cash.
dispense 本身已包含“分发出去”的意思，后面不再加 out；受汉语“分发出去”影响而写成 dispensed out 是冗余错误，删去 out 即可。
grammar · medium
易错句子The judge dispensed the law fairly.
正确表达The judge dispensed justice fairly.
英语固定说 dispense justice（执法/主持公道），不说 dispense the law；汉语“执法”里有“法律”，容易直译成 the law，改成 justice 才自然。
强调把东西按份发给许多人或广泛散播，常搭配试卷、货物、资料、资源；dispensed 更强调按需一份份配给，多见于配药、发放物资或执行法律，两者在“分发东西”时可换用，但 dispensed 更正式、更有“配给”意味。
指人群、雾气、云等向四处散开或被驱散，重心在“散开、消散”；dispensed 只表示发放、配给或执行，完全没有“散开”的意思，字形相近但语义不同。
多与疑虑、恐惧、谣言、误解等抽象名词搭配，意为“使之消失”；与 dispensed 拼写和读音接近，但 dispensed 是具体地发放、配给或执行，不能用于“消除疑虑”。
