易错句子A plaguey broke out in the village last spring.
正确表达A plague broke out in the village last spring.
plaguey 是副词，意思是“令人不快地”，不能像名词 plague（瘟疫）那样作主语；指疾病本身要用名词 plague。

易错句子The small town is plaguey by mosquitoes every summer.
正确表达The small town is plagued by mosquitoes every summer.
plaguey 是副词，不能充当表语，也不能和 by 搭配表示“受到困扰”；表示“被……侵扰”要用动词 plague 的被动式 be plagued by。
annoyingly 是现代常用副词，既能作方式副词修饰动作，也能放句首作句子副词（Annoyingly, ...），语域中性；plaguey 陈旧、方言色彩浓，现代英语几乎不用，多见于旧文学，也不能这样放句首。
pesky 是形容词，只能修饰名词或作表语，如 those pesky flies；plaguey 在此义项是副词，修饰动作方式。两者都偏口语、显老派，但词性不同，不能互换。
plague 作名词指瘟疫，作动词表示“持续困扰”，由人或事物主动施加；plaguey 是副词，意为“令人讨厌地”，描述做事的方式，不能充当谓语。两者拼写相近，容易写混。
