易错句子I don't know weather he will come.
正确表达I don't know whether he will come.
whether 是连词，表示“是否”，引导宾语从句；weather 是名词（天气）或动词（经受住）。两词同音，但意义和用法不同，不能把 whether 写成 weather。

易错句子The small shop weathered during the pandemic.
正确表达The small shop weathered the pandemic.
weather 作“经受住、挺过”解时是及物动词，后面必须直接接宾语（如 the storm、the crisis、the pandemic）。句中没有宾语时，这个意思无法完整表达。汉语“挺过”后面可以省略宾语，但英语这里不能省。

易错句子They hoped to weather out the recession.
正确表达They hoped to weather the recession.
weather 本身已含“挺过”之意，直接接宾语即可，不加 out；out 来自另一个习语 ride out the storm，与 weather 混用会造成搭配错误。改正时只需去掉 out。
义项为“经受住；平安度过（困难/危险）”。succumb 指因压力、疾病等而放弃抵抗或死亡，与 weather 相对，但 weather 强调成功应对。
义项为“经受住；平安度过（困难/危险）”。yield 指在压力下放弃抵抗或妥协，与 weather 相对，但 weather 含有主动克服的意味。
