易错句子It is mist today.
正确表达It is misty today.
mist 是名词，不能放在 be 动词后作表语形容词。汉语说“今天有雾／是雾天”，直译成 It is mist 就错了；描述天气有雾要用形容词 misty（It is misty today.），或改用 there be 结构（There is mist today.）。

易错句子The mist is very big this morning.
正确表达The mist is very thick this morning.
汉语用“大”来形容雾（雾很大），英语中 mist、fog 的固定搭配却是 thick、dense 或 heavy，不用 big。thick mist 表示雾层浓密，所以只把 big 换成 thick 即可。
