Common mistakes
She is nonchalance about her exam results.She is nonchalant about her exam results.
nonchalance是名词，意为“冷淡、漠不关心”，不能直接放在be动词后作表语修饰主语；应使用其形容词形式nonchalant。此错误源于混淆名词与形容词的词性。
He showed nonchalance to the danger.He showed nonchalance about the danger.
表示“对某事冷淡/漠不关心”时，nonchalance后接介词about或towards，不接to。中文“对”容易直译为to，导致介词使用错误。
