Common mistakes
He behaved honourable in the meeting.He behaved honourably in the meeting.
honourable 是形容词，不能修饰动词 behaved；修饰动词需用副词 honourably。汉语中常说“表现得很光荣”，但英语里形容词不能作状语。
He served honorably in the army.He served honourably in the army.
拼写错误：英式英语中保留 -our-，应写作 honourably，而不是美式拼写 honorably。本词条采用英式拼写，应保持一致。
