thorough 是形容词，不能直接作介词 for 的宾语；此处需要名词 thoroughness。汉语中“彻底”可作名词/形容词，导致学习者误用形容词。
She examined the document in thoroughness.She examined the document with thoroughness.
表示“以彻底的方式”时，英语用 with + 抽象名词（with thoroughness），而 in 多用于 in a thorough manner 等结构。受汉语“在...方面”影响，易误用 in。

Memory Tip
联想：thorough（彻底的）加名词后缀-ness，就成了thoroughness，即把事做透的一丝不苟。
Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：工作总结、绩效评估、学术写作 “thoroughness” 多用于正式或书面语境（如工作总结、绩效评估、学术写作），强调处理任务时全面、细致、不漏细节；在日常口语中较少以抽象名词形式出现。
Pronunciation & Spelling
真正读音相似的词：borough 和 thorough 都以 -orough 结尾，重音相同，英式读 /ˈbʌrə/、/ˈθʌrə/，美式读 /ˈbɜːroʊ/、/ˈθɜːroʊ/，二者押韵（但 thoroughness 多出后缀 -ness，所以不与它们完全押韵）。拼写相近但读音不同的词：roughness、toughness 与 thoroughness 末尾拼写都是 -oughness，但前两个读 /ˈrʌfnəs/、/ˈtʌfnəs/（ough 读 /ʌf/），与 /ˈθʌrənəs/ 或 /ˈθɜːroʊnəs/ 很不相同。happiness、darkness 与 thoroughness 共享后缀 -ness（读 /nəs/），但重读元音不同，因此不押韵。
