易错句子The office was inundated in emails.

正确表达The office was inundated with emails.

介词误用：表示“被淹没”或“应接不暇”时，inundated 后应接 with (表示充满) 或 by (表示施动者)，而非 in。中文母语者常受“淹没在”的影响而误用 in。

易错句子We inundated with work last week.

正确表达We were inundated with work last week.

语态缺失：inundated 是及物动词的过去分词，作谓语时必须与 be 动词连用构成被动语态，表示主语被给予太多事物而难以应付。中文可能受主动用法影响而遗漏 be 动词。
