易错句子The little boy pinched on his sister's arm.
正确表达The little boy pinched his sister's arm.
pinch 表示“捏、掐”时是及物动词,后面直接跟被捏的人或身体部位,不用介词 on。汉语常按“在……上捏了一下”来表达,容易误加 on,应删去。

易错句子She pinched my arm hardly, and it hurt.
正确表达She pinched my arm hard, and it hurt.
表示“用力地”要用 hard,hardly 的意思是“几乎不”,两者意思相反。此处指捏得很用力,所以用 hard,不能用 hardly。

易错句子He pinched gently the baby's cheek.
正确表达He pinched the baby's cheek gently.
方式副词一般不能插在动词和宾语之间,否则句子不自然。英语习惯是“动词+宾语+方式副词”,所以 gently 要放在 the baby's cheek 之后。
