易错句子The manager reprobated.
正确表达The manager reprobated the decision.
reprobate 作及物动词时必须带直接宾语，说明谴责的对象；原句缺少宾语，意思不完整。补上 the decision 后，才完整表达“谴责这项决定”。

易错句子Many people reprobated against the new policy.
正确表达Many people reprobated the new policy.
reprobate 是及物动词，直接接被谴责的对象，不用介词 against；against 常受 protest against 等搭配影响而误加。去掉 against 后，reprobated 直接支配 the new policy，符合“谴责某事”的及物用法。

易错句子They reprobate the plan last week.
正确表达They reprobated the plan last week.
句中有 last week，表示过去时间，需用一般过去时；reprobate 的过去式是 reprobated，要加 -d。原句用原形 reprobate，时态错误。
reprove 语气比 reprobate 轻，多指因具体过错而温和地当面责备；reprobate 更书面、更古旧，语气更重，还可表示彻底拒绝或神学上的弃绝。两者在‘责备’义上偶有重叠，但 reprove 通常不含‘抛弃/拒绝’义。
condemn 更常用，既可指公开、道义上的谴责，也可用于法律上判刑定罪；reprobate 作‘谴责’义时偏书面/古旧，且没有‘判刑’义。在严肃的公开谴责语境中两者可能都成立，但 condemn 的适用范围更广。
denounce 强调公开、正式地指责，常含向公众或当局揭发之意；reprobate 更偏个人化或神学层面的强烈不赞成且较罕用。若只是私下责备，一般不用 denounce。
