常见错误Common mistakes
易错句子The coach's speech is spurring the players train harder.正确表达The coach's speech is spurring the players to train harder.
spur 后接宾语时,宾语补足语要用带 to 的不定式,即 spur sb. to do sth.;汉语“促使某人做某事”没有对应的 to,学习者容易漏掉。
易错句子The new evidence is spurring him to changing his mind.正确表达The new evidence is spurring him to change his mind.
spur sb. to 中的 to 是不定式符号,不是介词,后面必须接动词原形,不能接 -ing;若要接动名词,应改用 spur sb. into doing sth.。

- 轻蔑地拒绝;摒弃 · 拼写只差中间几个字母:spurning 来自 spurn,表示“轻蔑地拒绝、摒弃”,态度是否定、排斥;spurring 来自 spur,表示“激励、促使(某人行动或加快)”,态度是推动,两者方向正好相反。
- stirring
- 激起(情感、回忆);搅动 · stirring 的宾语通常是情感、回忆、议论等,意思是“唤起、激起”,如 stir memories;spurring 的宾语多是人或其行动,意思是“促使行动、加快进度”,常与 on 连用(spur sb on)。
- urging
- 敦促;力劝 · spurring 强调“刺激、推动”,使人加快行动或更努力,常与 on 连用(spur sb on),也可指“成为……的动因”;urging 只是中性的“力劝、敦促”,不含“加速、刺激”意味,常见搭配为 urge sb to do sth。
