Common mistakes
The imposed by the government tax increase angered many people.The tax increase imposed by the government angered many people.
过去分词短语 imposed by the government 作定语时必须放在被修饰名词之后；英语没有把整个分词短语前置的语序。若需前置，可用单独的 imposed（如 the imposed tax increase）或连字符复合词 government-imposed（如 the government-imposed tax increase）。
The fine imposed to the company was too high.The fine imposed on the company was too high.
impose 的固定搭配是 impose A on B（把A强加于B），变为过去分词短语时仍保留 on。汉语的“对……强加”容易误导学习者用 to，但英语中这里必须用介词 on。
