易错句子This soup is very savour.
正确表达This soup is very savoury.
savour 只作名词,不能跟在系动词后作表语;描述食物“咸香可口”必须用形容词 savoury。汉语没有词形变化,学习者常把名词直接当形容词用。

正确表达I don't like the taste of this medicine.
汉语“味道”一个词通吃,英语要区分:savour 是较文的词,指进食有滋味的食物(多与咸香调味相关)时的味觉体验,通常含愉悦意味;药这类中性或令人不快的味道,日常一律用 taste。
与savour的“滋味”义相对
flavour(英式拼写,美式 flavor)泛指食物或饮料特有的整体味道,适用范围最广,口语和书面都常用;savour 作名词更书面、更窄,多指咸鲜、浓郁、有回味的滋味,常见于品鉴或文学语境。泛指“味道”时通常用 flavour。
taste 最通用、最日常,可指味道、味觉,也可指“尝一点”;savour 更书面、更具体,强调咸鲜调味料带来的味觉体验。日常说“味道”多用 taste,savour 偏正式。
savour 与 savoury 拼写只差一个字母,但词性不同:savour 是名词,指“滋味”;savoury(美式 savory)是形容词,指“咸香的、开胃的”,也可作名词指餐后咸味小点。注意不要用形容词代替名词。
