Common mistakes
The punishment should be proportionally to the crime.The punishment should be proportional to the crime.
这里 be 动词后需要形容词作表语；proportionally 是副词，不能作表语，应改为 proportional。中文的“成比例地”容易误导学习者，但表语位置必须用形容词。
There was a proportionally increase in sales.There was a proportional increase in sales.
increase 在这里是名词，需要形容词修饰；proportionally 是副词，不能修饰名词，应改用 proportional。这是把副词误用在名词前的典型错误。
