易错句子Geyser is a natural hot spring that erupts periodically.
正确表达A geyser is a natural hot spring that erupts periodically.

易错句子The geyser shoots hot water highly into the air.
正确表达The geyser shoots hot water high into the air.
表示物理高度“高高地”要用副词 high；highly 表示“非常、高度地”，不表示空间高度，因此这里应改为 high。
spring 泛指地下水涌出形成的泉，不强调喷发；geyser 特指因蒸汽压力周期性向上喷出热水和蒸汽的间歇泉。普通的温泉或饮水泉只能说 spring，不能用 geyser。
fountain 多指人工建造的喷泉或持续喷水的装置；geyser 是自然形成、间歇性喷发的热水柱，强调周期性和蒸汽驱动。城市广场的喷泉用 fountain 更自然。
jet 指喷出的水流或气流本身，是 geyser 喷出的东西；geyser 指产生喷流的自然泉源。说“一股喷流”用 jet，说“一眼间歇泉”用 geyser。
