易错句子The old man behaves eccentric.
正确表达The old man behaves eccentrically.
behave 是动词，修饰动词要用副词，所以应用 eccentrically。汉语里「古怪」直接作谓语时词形不变（他很古怪），学习者受此影响常把形容词原样放在动词后当状语，英语必须加 -ly 变成副词。

易错句子His eccentric makes him popular with students.
正确表达His eccentric behaviour makes him popular with students.
本词条中 eccentric 是形容词，不能像名词那样单独作主语。汉语「他的古怪」可以用形容词直接充当名词性成分，学习者便省略了被修饰的名词；英语需在其后补上被修饰的名词，如 behaviour、way、style，句子才成立。

易错句子The teacher is eccentric to the girls in class.
正确表达The teacher is biased toward the girls in class.
汉语「偏心」指偏袒某一方，学习者按「偏离中心」的字面意思错译成 eccentric。但 eccentric 只表示「古怪、不合常规」，并无「偏袒」之义；表达偏袒一方应用 biased toward 或 partial to。
