易错句子After years of rapid growth, sales have finally reached plateau.
正确表达After years of rapid growth, sales have finally reached a plateau.
plateau 表示“平台期、稳定水平”时是可数名词，单数形式前必须加冠词 a/an 或 the；汉语名词前没有冠词，所以学习者常漏掉。这里指“经过一段增长后达到的一个相对稳定的水平”，泛指一个平台期，用不定冠词 a。

易错句子Many plateau in Asia lie more than 4,000 metres above sea level.
正确表达Many plateaus in Asia lie more than 4,000 metres above sea level.
plateau 是可数名词，被 many 修饰时要用复数形式 plateaus（也可拼作 plateaux）；汉语名词不随数量改变词形，所以容易误用单数。

易错句子The company has arrived a plateau in its growth.
正确表达The company has reached a plateau in its growth.
arrive 是不及物动词，表示“到达某地”时须加介词 at/in；表示“达到某个水平、达到某个数字”要用及物动词 reach，直接跟宾语。这是把汉语“到达”的及物用法直接搬到 arrive 上造成的错误。
