正确表达She was knighted by the queen in 2020.
knighthood 是名词，表示‘骑士身份’；表示‘被封为骑士’的动词是 knight（过去式 knighted）。不能把名词 knighthood 当动词用。
knighthood 指骑士身份或骑士阶层；commoner 指没有骑士爵位的平民，二者在等级身份上互为反义。注意 knighthood 为抽象/集合名词，commoner 为具体名词，但常用作其反义词。
knighthood 可指骑士阶层整体；commonalty 指平民阶层整体，同为集合名词，二者在历史或正式语境中直接相对。日常口语中更常用 common people。
knight 指具体的某一位骑士；knighthood 指骑士身份或骑士阶层，不是指某个人。
chivalry 指骑士应遵守的道德准则（如勇敢、荣誉、保护弱者）；knighthood 指骑士的社会身份或阶层，不涉及品性。
