错误是将形容词“prevailing”误用作名词。英语中“prevailing”是形容词,表示“盛行的”,其对应的名词形式是“prevalence”(盛行、普遍)。学习者受到中文“盛行”可作名词的影响,直接使用了“prevailing”表示“盛行”这一概念。
Not this

Use this
The custom still prevails in rural areas.
错误是将“prevailing”(形容词)用作谓语动词。英语中表示“盛行”的动作应使用动词“prevail”,而非其形容词形式。中文表达“仍然盛行”可对应“still prevail”,而学习者误将形容词“prevailing”用于现在进行时,产生了语法错误。
