易错句子His remarks nettled.
正确表达His remarks nettled me.
nettle 是及物动词，必须接宾语；汉语“惹恼”可以单独说，但英语不能省略被惹恼的人。加上 me 后句子才完整。

易错句子I nettled by his comment.
正确表达I was nettled by his comment.
这里的 nettled 是过去分词，构成被动或形容词性短语时必须与 be 动词连用；汉语没有对应的助动词，容易漏掉。加上 was 后句子才有谓语。

易错句子He is easy to be nettled.

nettled 更书面，常指因某句评论或小冒犯而略感恼火；annoyed 更通用，程度可轻可重，口语和书面都常用。
