正确表达She upbraided him for his careless mistake.
表示“因某事斥责某人”时，upbraid 与 for 搭配，不用 about；about 通常表示“关于”，不能引出斥责的原因。
rebuke 多指有权威者（法官、上司、长辈）针对某件具体过失当场作出尖锐而正式的指责，也可作名词；upbraid 更书面、偏文学，常带“数落、埋怨”的意味，且一般只作动词，不作名词。
reproach 侧重表达失望或受伤的感受，语气比 upbraid 轻，常见搭配是 reproach sb for/with sth；upbraid 是严厉斥责，语气更重，也更书面。
scold 是日常口语词，多用于父母骂孩子或上级训下级，往往指当场出声责骂；upbraid 属正式书面语，不含“大声骂”的口语色彩。
