易错句子He has a earned income.
正确表达He has an earned income.
earned 以元音音素 /ɜː/ 开头，因此其前的不定冠词必须用 an 而不是 a。这里的错误在于只根据字母 e 判断，而忽略了发音。

易错句子I am earned a lot of money.
正确表达I have earned a lot of money.
此处想表达“我已经挣了很多钱”，应用现在完成时，其结构是 have/has + 过去分词，而不是 be + 过去分词。用 am/are/is + earned 会造成被动或形容词化，无法带宾语 a lot of money。
本义为“凭努力或功劳而获得的”；unearned 是其直接反义词，指并非通过自身努力或功劳获得。注意 unearned income（非劳动收入）仅指来源，不含贬义。
与 earned 相对，强调缺乏应得资格，指不该获得或得到；常用于批评或同情语境。
earned 强调靠劳动或努力“挣得/应得”；gained 只表示“获得/得到”，不突出付出与回报的关系。比如“新获得的信心”用 gained，不用 earned。
earned 指凭努力“挣来”的；deserved 指按功过“应当得到”的，未必经过努力。比如 earned respect 是努力赢得的尊重，deserved punishment 是罪有应得的惩罚。
