Common mistakes

在英语中，实义动词（如 look）需要副词来修饰，而不是形容词。'morose' 是形容词，不能修饰动词；'morosely' 是副词，表示'忧郁地'，正确修饰 'looked at'。这是受中文形容词可作状语的影响而导致的词性混淆错误。
He was morosely after hearing the news.He was morose after hearing the news.
系动词（如 was）后面应接形容词作表语，而不是副词。'morosely' 是副词，不能作表语；'morose' 是形容词，表示'忧郁的'，在此作表语描述主语的状态。学习者常因中文中形容词和副词形式相同而混淆。

Pronunciation & Spelling
与 morosely /məˈrəʊsli/ 押韵的是“-əʊsli”读音：closely /ˈkləʊsli/、grossly /ˈɡrəʊsli/、jocosely /dʒəˈkəʊsli/（美式对应 /-oʊsli/）。注意 mostly /ˈməʊstli/ 和 ghostly /ˈɡəʊstli/ 看起来很像，但中间有 /t/，不押韵；glossy /ˈɡlɒsi/ 只是拼写近似，发音差异更大。
