易混淆词

covetous
EN: 'Covetous' describes the person who desires something greedily; 'coveted' describes the object that is desired by others.
zh: “Covetous”形容贪婪地渴望某物的人；“coveted”形容被他人所渴望的对象。
covenant
EN: 'Covenant' is a formal agreement or pact; 'covet' means to desire something enviously.
zh: “Covenant”指正式的协议或条约；“covet”意为嫉妒地渴望某物。

拼写提示

EN: Do not confuse 'covet' with 'covenant'. Note that 'covet' has only one 't' in the base form, but doubles it in 'coveted' and 'coveting' is not doubled (single 't' before '-ing' is standard: 'coveting').
zh: 不要将“covet”与“covenant”混淆。注意，“covet”在基础形式中只有一个“t”，但在“coveted”中双写，而“coveting”不双写（“-ing”前保留单个“t”是标准写法：“coveting”）。
