「It is + 形容词 + to do sth」句型中，表语必须用形容词来评价某个行为；silliness 是名词，不能放在这个位置，也不能加冠词说成 a silliness。要表达「做某事很傻」，应把名词换成形容词 silly。

silliness 表示「傻气」这种抽象性质时是不可数名词，不能直接作 say 的宾语来表示「一些傻话」；指具体说出口的话，要用形容词 silly 修饰可数名词 things，或说 something silly。
foolishness 指缺乏判断力、做出不明智的决定，语气较重并带有批评意味；silliness 多指轻松、顽皮、无害的傻气，比如玩闹或幼稚的举动，不一定涉及真正的判断失误。要强调决策错误时用 foolishness，描述打打闹闹的傻气时用 silliness。
stupidity 强调智力不足或极有害的糊涂，贬义很强；silliness 程度通常较轻，可带亲昵或玩笑口吻，形容闹着玩似的傻气，而非真的笨。要指责造成严重后果的糊涂用 stupidity，描述无伤大雅的顽皮举动用 silliness。
nonsense 针对言语或做法本身没有道理、毫无意义，多作不可数名词，常见搭配是“That's nonsense”；silliness 指行为或性情里孩子气的傻气，可以只是单纯地玩闹，不涉及内容是否荒谬。说“胡说八道”用 nonsense，说“犯傻、傻气”用 silliness。
