易错句子The bathroom floor very slippy after the shower.
正确表达The bathroom floor is very slippy after the shower.
汉语形容词可以直接作谓语(“地板很滑”),但英语形容词作谓语时必须依靠系动词,所以要在主语和 slippy 之间补上 is,句子才成立。

易错句子The pavement was slippy because the rain.
正确表达The pavement was slippy because of the rain.
because 后面必须接完整的从句(主谓结构);the rain 只是名词短语,表示原因时应改用复合介词 because of,因此要用 because of the rain。

易错句子The wet stairs are slippy to walk.
正确表达The wet stairs are slippy to walk on.
不定式修饰 stairs 时,动词 walk 后面的介词 on 不能省略,因为被修饰的 stairs 正是介词 on 的宾语(walk on the stairs);汉语“走起来滑”没有介词,学习者常因此漏掉 on。
中文都可译作“滑的”,但 slippery 是标准通用词,正式书面语和英美各地都用;slippy 是英式非正式口语、方言变体,正式文书或美式英语中很少见。两者含义相同,差别在语域和地区,不是意思不同。
拼写和读音只差一点,但 sloppy 说的是做事马虎、衣着邋遢,与“滑”无关;要形容表面打滑只能用 slippy 或 slippery。
slick 也可形容表面光滑,但常暗示油光发亮,或引申指人圆滑、手法娴熟;单纯说路面、地面容易打滑时,slippy/slippery 更中性常用。
