常见错误Common mistakes
易错句子She wants to enter the showbiz.正确表达She wants to enter showbiz.
showbiz 是不可数名词，指抽象的娱乐行业，前面不加定冠词 the。汉语的“娱乐圈”容易让学习者误加 the，但英语中 enter showbiz、in showbiz 都是零冠词搭配。
易错句子He has worked on showbiz for ten years.正确表达He has worked in showbiz for ten years.
表示“在某个行业或领域工作”时，介词要用 in，不能用 on。work on 后面通常接具体任务或对象，如 work on a project，而行业、领域则说 work in showbiz。
