易错句子He was given an ennoble by the king.
正确表达He was ennobled by the king.
ennoble 是动词,不能加冠词 an 当名词用;表示“被授予爵位”要用动词的被动形式 was ennobled,或说 was given a noble title。中文“获得爵位”容易让人把动词名词化。

易错句子He ennobled by the king last year.
正确表达He was ennobled by the king last year.
ennoble 是及物动词,这里需要用被动语态 be + 过去分词;中文“他被封爵”没有系动词,容易漏掉 was。

易错句子The king ennobles him last year.
正确表达The king ennobled him last year.
句中有过去时间状语 last year,谓语要用一般过去时 ennobled;ennobles 是第三人称单数现在时,与过去时间矛盾。中文动词没有时态变化,容易忽略。
ennoble 表示“使高贵、授予爵位或荣誉”,宾语通常是人或品格;enable 表示“使有能力做某事”,常用结构是 enable someone to do something,不涉及授予爵位。两者拼写和发音接近,容易混用。
ennoble 是动词,意为“使高贵/授予爵位”;noble 主要作形容词或名词,不能直接带宾语表示“授予爵位”。拼写相近,但词性和句法不同。
ennoble 强调使某人或品格变得高贵,或正式授予贵族爵位,带有提升地位的意味;honor 泛指表示敬意、给予荣誉或奖项,不涉及贵族身份。两者在“授予荣誉”上部分重叠,但 ennoble 更正式、更特定。英式拼作 honour。
