易错句子We climbed to the pike of the mountain to watch the sunrise.
正确表达We climbed to the peak of the mountain to watch the sunrise.
表示“山顶、山峰”的词是 peak,不是 pike。pike 指长矛、狗鱼、公路或干草堆等,没有“山的最高处”这一意思。汉语学习者常把 peak /piːk/ 和 pike /paɪk/ 的拼写混在一起,只要把这个名词换成 peak,句子其余部分和原意都不变。

易错句子Please pike up the pen you dropped on the floor.
正确表达Please pick up the pen you dropped on the floor.
“捡起”的动词短语是 pick up,不是 pike up;pike 只作名词,表示长矛、狗鱼等,不能作动词表示“捡、拾”。汉语里 /ɪ/ 与 /aɪ/ 不对立,容易把 pick 写成 pike,改回 pick 即可,句子结构和意思完全不变。
