易错句子She always quote her teacher in class.
正确表达She always quotes her teacher in class.
主语 she 是第三人称单数,一般现在时的实义动词 quote 必须加 -s 写成 quotes;汉语动词没有人称变化,所以中国学习者常漏掉这个 -s。

易错句子He quoted that prices had risen.
正确表达He said that prices had risen.
quote 是及物动词,后面要直接接引用的原话或内容(quote the sentence、quote sb),不能像 say 那样接 that 从句。汉语“他引用说……”直译成 quote that 是错的;若要保留引用义,可说 quote sb as saying that…,否则应改用 say。
针对“quote=原样重复某人的话”这一义项,paraphrase 指用不同措辞表达相同意思,是常见的相对反义。注意:在要求逐字引用的语境中,二者不可互换,paraphrase 不是 quote 的错误形式。
针对“quote=在话语中标记引文开始”的义项,unquote 表示引文结束,二者构成对应的配对词。该反义仅适用于口头或书面标记引文边界的语境,不能用于“引用他人话语”或“报价”等义项。
