易错句子It is against the rule to smoke here.
正确表达It is against the rules to smoke here.
表示“整套规定”时英语习惯用复数：against the rules（违反规定）、break the rules（违规）、the rules of the game（游戏规则）；汉语“规定”不区分单复数，学习者容易一律用单数 rule。若特指某一条规则，单数才成立，如 a rule about parking。

易错句子As rule, I get up at six.
正确表达As a rule, I get up at six.
as a rule 是固定短语，意为“通常、一般来说”，其中的不定冠词 a 不能省略；汉语没有冠词，学习者容易漏写。

易错句子All students must obey to the school rules.
正确表达All students must obey the school rules.
obey 是及物动词，后面直接接宾语，不加介词 to；受 listen to、look at 这类“动词+介词”搭配的影响，常误写成 obey to。
指由政府机关或组织正式制定、以书面形式发布的强制性规定，语气比 rule 正式、范围也更窄；rule 可指任何明文或不成文的行为规定，如游戏规则、校规。表示“调控、管理”这一抽象义时只能用 regulation。
指个人或学科所依据的根本信念或原理，通常较抽象、不带强制执行力；rule 则是一条条具体、可执行、可监督的规定。注意搭配差异：in principle 意为“原则上、理论上”，as a rule 意为“通常”。
指由国家立法机关制定、具有法律强制力的规范，也可指自然科学中经反复验证的定律；rule 的适用范围宽得多，学校、公司、游戏等都可自行制定 rule，效力也较弱。说“法治”用 the rule of law，此时两者不能互换。
