Common mistakes

The company plans to spaceflight tourists to the Moon.The company plans to send tourists on a spaceflight to the Moon.
spaceflight 是名词，不能直接用作动词。表达“用航天飞行运送某人”需要搭配 send ... on a spaceflight 或 travel on a spaceflight，而不是把 spaceflight 当作动词来用。
The astronauts are in a spaceflight to Mars.The astronauts are on a spaceflight to Mars.
表示“在执行某次航天飞行任务/乘坐某次航班”时，英文用介词 on，构成固定搭配 on a spaceflight，而不是 in。在空间概念中 in 可能让人误解为“在飞船内部”，而 on a spaceflight 强调参与这次飞行任务。
