易错句子The rain water seeped the roof and dripped into the room.
正确表达The rain water seeped through the roof and dripped into the room.
seep 是不及物动词，说明液体从某物渗出或透过时必须用介词 through/into 引出路径，不能直接跟宾语。汉语“渗透”后面可以直接带宾语（渗透屋顶），这个结构不能迁移到英语，所以要在 seep 后补上 through。

seep 只表示液体自身缓慢渗出或渗入，主语是液体、气味、裂缝这类东西，不能表示“把某物泡在液体里”。表示把食物浸泡在水里要用及物动词 soak，它才带“浸泡某物”的含义。
