Common mistakes
She has harbored a grudge to him for years.She has harbored a grudge against him for years.
harbor 表示“心怀(怨恨等)”时,固定搭配的介词是 against,不是 to。中文“对某人怀恨”的“对”不能直译成 to,须用 against 才能正确表达怨恨指向的对象。
He harbors a deep love in his heart for his hometown.He harbors a deep love for his hometown.
harbor 本身已含有“在心中保有”的意思,再加 in his heart 是冗余表达,属于中文“在心中怀有”的直译。删除 in his heart 后句子更简洁自然。
I harbor to become a scientist.I harbor the ambition to become a scientist.
harbor 是及物动词,后接名词或名词短语作宾语,不能直接接不定式。表达“怀有成为科学家的抱负”时,要在不定式前补出宾语 ambition。

Pronunciation & Spelling
与 harbor /ˈhɑrbɝ/ 真正押韵的有 barber /ˈbɑrbɝ/ 和 arbor /ˈɑrbɝ/，它们与 harbor 的重读元音及其后部分相同。注意 labor /ˈleɪbɝ/ 和 neighbor /ˈneɪbɝ/ 虽也以 -bor 结尾，但重音元音是 /eɪ/，读音不同，不能按 harbor 的发音类推。
