正确表达The shuttle dropped me off at the terminal and I walked to the gate.
terminal 是可数名词，指具体某一个航站楼时必须加冠词：单数首次提到用 a，特指某处已知的航站楼用 the。汉语名词前没有冠词系统，学习者容易直接说 at terminal，英语中这样说不成立，所以要补上 the。

易错句子We arrived to the terminal three hours before the flight.
正确表达We arrived at the terminal three hours before the flight.
arrive 表示“到达某地”时后面接介词 at（小地点）或 in（大地点），不能接 to。汉语“到达”后面直接跟地点，学习者容易按字面把 to 加上去，改成 at the terminal 才符合英语搭配。

易错句子The new airport has three terminal for international flights.
正确表达The new airport has three terminals for international flights.
terminal 是可数名词，前面有 three 这类基数词时，可数名词必须用复数形式 terminals。汉语名词不随数量变化，学习者常忘记加 -s，因此要把 terminal 变为复数的 terminals。
两者都可指“线路端点的车站”。terminus 强调线路尽头的那一站，常见于英式英语的公交线路终点；terminal 更常指机场航站楼或大型交通枢纽的终点站，也可指电路的接线端。单指铁路终点时二者可互换，但 terminus 一般不用来指机场建筑。
station 是火车站、地铁站、汽车站等停靠站的通称，不表明是不是终点；terminal 突出“终点、枢纽”这一层意思，或特指机场航站楼。因此普通中途站只说 station，机场建筑只说 terminal，二者不能随意替换。
stop 指公交、电车等沿线的小型停靠点，只是途经上下客；terminal 指线路尽头的终点枢纽或机场航站楼，规模和功能都更大。说“某一站”用 stop，说“终点站/枢纽”才用 terminal。
