Common mistakes
She received her doctoral in chemistry.She received her doctorate in chemistry.
doctoral 是形容词,表示“博士的”,不能直接作 receive 的宾语;doctorate 才是名词,意为“博士学位”。把修饰语换成名词后,语法和意思才正确。
He is pursuing doctoral degree.He is pursuing a doctoral degree.
doctoral degree 是可数名词短语,单数形式前需要不定冠词 a。中文没有冠词概念,容易漏掉,加上 a 才符合英语可数名词单数的规则。
