易错句子The sick dog frothing at the mouth.
正确表达The sick dog was frothing at the mouth.
英语的谓语形容词不能像汉语形容词谓语句那样单独作谓语;这里描述狗的状态,必须加系动词 was,构成“主语 + be + 形容词”的完整句子。

易错句子The sick dog was frothing saliva.
正确表达The sick dog was producing frothing saliva.
frothing 在此是形容词,不能像汉语“吐白沫”那样带宾语 saliva;要表达“产生白沫状唾液”,需用动词 producing,让 frothing 修饰名词 saliva。
foaming 多指液体或口中冒出泡沫的动作或状态,使用范围广,水、饮料、动物都可搭配;frothing 通常作形容词,侧重因力竭或疾病而满口、满身白沫的样子。两者在 at the mouth 这一搭配中常可互换,但 foaming 更常见于口语与一般叙述。
frothy 形容液体表面起泡,也可比喻内容空洞,如 frothy coffee、frothy talk,一般不修饰人或动物;frothing 则用来描写因疲惫、疾病而口吐白沫或满身汗沫的对象。两者形式相近,但搭配对象不同。
lathered 强调汗与泡沫混在一起覆盖全身,常见于马等牲畜奔跑之后的描写;frothing 更侧重口边或身上因疾病、力竭而产生的白沫,语体偏书面。要描述马出汗起沫,习惯用 lathered 而非 frothing。
