Common mistakes

pallid 是形容词,不能单独作谓语动词。表示“变得苍白”须借助连系动词 turn(也可用 become/go),构成系表结构,所以改为 turned pallid。
The pallid of her face frightened the child.The pallid look of her face frightened the child.
pallid 是形容词,不能直接用作名词表示“苍白”。保留 pallid 并为它补充被修饰的名词 look,使其作定语,句子结构才完整;若想用名词,应改用 pallor。
Her face was pallid by fear.Her face was pallid with fear.
pallid 后接引起这种状态的原因时,常用介词 with(如 with fear/anger),表示“因……而苍白”;by 通常引出动作施动者,不用于这种情绪原因,因此应改为 with。

Pronunciation & Spelling
发音要点:valid 与 pallid 完全押韵(/ˈvælɪd/)。solid 和 squalid 拼写上都以 -lid 结尾,但分别读 /ˈsɒlɪd/ 和 /ˈskwɒlɪd/,元音与 pallid 不同。pallet 和 palate 前部拼写相似,但结尾分别读 /t/ 和 /ət/,注意与 /ˈpælɪd/ 区分。rapid 与 pallid 只有重读元音 /æ/ 和结尾 /ɪd/ 相同,中间辅音不同,因此不押韵。
