易错句子I saw faery in the garden.
正确表达I saw a faery in the garden.
faery 表示“小仙子”时是可数名词,单数形式前面必须有限定词(a/an/the/my 等);汉语“我看见精灵”没有冠词,直译时容易漏掉 a。

易错句子Three faerys were dancing on the grass.
正确表达Three faeries were dancing on the grass.
以辅音字母加 y 结尾的名词变复数时,要把 y 改成 i 再加 -es,所以 faery 的复数是 faeries,而不是直接在词尾加 -s 的 faerys。

易错句子The faeries is dancing in the garden.
正确表达The faeries are dancing in the garden.
主语 faeries 是复数,谓语必须用复数形式 are;汉语动词没有单复数的变化,所以容易误用单数 is。
fairy 与 faery 指同一种小精灵,但 fairy 是现代通行拼写,语体中性,童话、日常写作都用它;faery 是文学性、仿古拼法,常带凯尔特或中世纪色彩,多见于诗歌和奇幻作品。日常写作选 fairy,刻意营造古雅氛围时才用 faery。
ferry 指交通工具“渡轮”,读音 /ˈferi/,两个音节;faery 读 /ˈfeɪəri/,三个音节。表示精灵时不能写成 ferry,表示渡轮时也不能写成 faery,二者只是拼写和读音相近。
fey 是形容词,形容人或神情带有神秘、怪异、近乎癫狂的气质,只能作定语或表语;faery 是名词,指精灵或精灵国度,可作主语或宾语。要修饰名词用 fey,要指称精灵用 faery。
