易错句子The bread dunked in the milk.
正确表达The bread was dunked in the milk.
英语中 dunk 表示“把某物蘸入液体”时是及物动词，被蘸的食物应作宾语，不能像汉语“面包蘸牛奶”那样让食物作主语；因此这里要用被动语态 was dunked。

易错句子He dunked the bread with his coffee.
正确表达He dunked the bread in his coffee.
表示蘸入的液体时要用介词 in 或 into，不用 with；with 表示使用的工具，而咖啡是食物蘸入的液体环境。

介词 at 后面要接名词或动名词，不能直接跟动词原形；dunk 在此是动词，须变为动名词 dunking。
dunk 和 dip 都指把东西放进液体再取出。dip 侧重轻快、表面地蘸一下，常与蘸酱、蘸颜料这类动作搭配；dunk 则更强调整块浸没，多用于把饼干、面包浸进咖啡或牛奶，动作更彻底、时间稍长。
dunk 是短时间浸一下，soak 则是长时间泡着，目的是让东西湿透或泡软，常与 overnight 这类表示时长的状语连用。想表达“泡一夜”“泡到变软”时用 soak，不能用 dunk。
plunge 强调突然、用力地整个没入，力度和深度都比 dunk 强，还可用于价格“暴跌”这类抽象义；dunk 更口语、更日常，多指食物在饮料里蘸一下或篮球扣篮。
