易错句子The cake looks squash after sitting under those heavy books.
正确表达The cake looks squashed after sitting under those heavy books.
look、feel、be 等系动词后面要用形容词,squashed 是由过去分词转化来的形容词,表示“被压扁的”这一状态。汉语的动词没有词形变化,学习者容易漏掉 -ed,把动词原形 squash 当形容词用。

-ed 结尾的形容词描述人的感受(自己被挤得难受),-ing 结尾的形容词描述引起这种感受的事物。汉语没有这种 -ed/-ing 的分工,都可以说“感到被挤”,所以学习者容易把两者混用。

易错句子The bus is very squashed in the morning.
正确表达The bus is very crowded in the morning.
squashed 指物体“被压扁”,或人“被挤得动弹不得”,不能用来形容车厢本身拥挤。汉语一个“挤”字兼指“挤压”和“人多拥挤”,学习者因此会把 squashed 误用于“拥挤”的场合,这里应改用 crowded。
squished 更口语,强调受挤后变形、湿软或被挤出,常用于小东西;squashed 强调被重压压扁或压成软烂状。
crushed 指压碎、碾碎成碎块或粉末,结果不一定扁平;squashed 指被压扁或压成软烂状,强调变形或成糊。
flattened 只强调变平,不一定软烂或受损;squashed 常含被重压后软烂、变形甚至成浆的意味。
