Common mistakes
The old town needs revitalize.The old town needs revitalizing.
在英语中，need 后接动词时须用动名词或被动不定式，不能接动词原形；此处 the old town 是“被振兴”的对象，所以用动名词 revitalizing 表示被动意义。
The old city revitalized after the project.The old city was revitalized after the project.
revitalize 是及物动词，必须带宾语；城市本身是动作的接受者，因此要用被动语态 was revitalized，而不能把它当作不及物动词直接使用。
