易错句子The building has two elevator shaft.
正确表达The building has two elevator shafts.
汉语名词没有复数形态变化，“两个电梯井”直接说“两个 shaft”，受此影响容易漏掉复数后缀。英语中 shaft 是可数名词，前面有 two 时须用复数形式 shafts。

正确表达The miner fell down the shaft and broke his leg.
汉语靠语境表达特指，不需要冠词；英语可数名词单数前通常要有限定词。这里特指矿井中已知的那条通道，须加定冠词 the。

易错句子He broke the stick of the arrow.
正确表达He broke the shaft of the arrow.
汉语“杆、棍”可以笼统互用，容易把箭杆说成 stick 或 pole。英语中箭、矛的细长杆身有专门名词 shaft；stick 指棍棒，pole 指长杆、柱子，都不表示箭杆。
此处 shaft 指工具或武器的长杆身；rod 通常指独立的细直杆，如窗帘杆、钓竿，一般不是器具的杆身。窗帘杆通常说 curtain rod，不说 curtain shaft。
shaft 指器具的杆身；pole 通常指独立竖立的长杆，如旗杆、电线杆。旗杆通常说 flagpole，不说 flag shaft。
shaft 指斧、箭等器具的长杆身时可包括手握处；handle 专指供手握的部分，使用范围更广，锤子、箱子等通常说 handle。
