Common mistakes

修饰动词 decorated 要用副词，不能直接用形容词 lavish。中文里“奢侈地”和“奢侈的”区分不明显，容易误用形容词；应改为副词 lavishly。
He spends money lavishly for clothes.He spends money lavishly on clothes.
spend money 表示“在某方面花钱”时固定搭配介词 on，不用 for。这里应把 for 改成 on，仅改介词即可，其他部分不变。

Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：written descriptions、everyday conversation “lavishly” 通常用于书面或较正式的表达，强调花费、给予或装饰得奢侈而丰富；在日常口语中也可使用，但不如 very generously 等说法常见。
Pronunciation & Spelling
Among common English words, none rhymes exactly with /ˈlævɪʃli/. These six words share the spelling ending -ishly and the final unstressed /ɪʃli/ sound, but their stressed vowels differ from the /æ/ in lavishly (e.g., foolishly /ˈfuːlɪʃli/, stylishly /ˈstaɪlɪʃli/), so treat them as useful spelling/sound lookalikes, not true rhymes.
