常见错误Common mistakes
易错句子I made flub during the interview.正确表达I made a flub during the interview.
flub 是可数名词，单数形式前必须加冠词 a/an；汉语名词可以光杆出现，但英语单数可数名词不能单独使用，所以要用 a flub。
易错句子He committed a flub in his speech.正确表达He made a flub in his speech.
表示“犯了一个令人难堪的错误”时，flub 的常用动词搭配是 make，即 make a flub，而不是 commit a flub；汉语“犯错误”容易让人误用 commit，但 commit 不与 flub 搭配。
易错句子There were several flub in the report.正确表达There were several flubs in the report.
flub 是可数名词，前面有 several 表示多个时必须用复数形式 flubs；汉语名词没有复数词尾变化，容易漏掉英语的复数标记 -s。
