易错句子This teacup is made by porcelain.
正确表达This teacup is made of porcelain.
表示某物由某种材料制成时，英语用 be made of + 材料，of 引出原料；by 只能引出动作的执行者（如 made by hand / made by a worker），后面不能接材料名词，所以不能写成 made by porcelain。

易错句子This vase is made of porcelains.
正确表达This vase is made of porcelain.
porcelain 指“瓷、瓷质材料”时是不可数名词，不能加 -s；复数 porcelains 只用于指一件件瓷器或不同种类。这里说的是制成花瓶的材料，所以必须用单数 porcelain。

易错句子The clay is burned at a very high temperature to make porcelain.
正确表达The clay is fired at a very high temperature to make porcelain.
烧制陶瓷这一工艺，英语固定用动词 fire（fire the clay，the porcelain is fired at 1300°C）。burn 表示“烧毁、烧焦”，不能表示“烧制”，所以要用 fired 才符合陶瓷制作的意思。
