Common mistakes
We need to pelmet the window to hide the curtain rail.We need to fit a pelmet over the window to hide the curtain rail.
“pelmet” 是名词,不能直接用作动词;英语中没有 to pelmet something 的表达。改正后使用动词 fit 加名词 pelmet,正确表示“安装窗帘盒”的动作。
I bought new pelmet for the bedroom window.I bought a new pelmet for the bedroom window.
“pelmet” 是可数名词,单数形式前必须有限定词(如 a)。汉语没有冠词,容易出现遗漏;加上 a 后表示“一个新窗帘盒”,使句子语法正确。
