易错句子The thief mugged her handbag.
正确表达The thief mugged her.
mug 表示“为抢劫而袭击某人”时是及物动词，宾语必须是被袭击的人，不能是被抢走的物品。汉语常说“抢+物品”（抢钱包），容易把物品直接当宾语；英语里物品要用 take/steal 另说，如“mugged her and took her handbag”。

易错句子He was muged in the park last night.
正确表达He was mugged in the park last night.
mug 是重读闭音节、以单个辅音字母 g 结尾，加 -ed 前要先双写末尾辅音，所以是 mugged，不是 muged；同理进行式为 mugging。
