易混淆词
predicament
EN: 'Predicament' emphasizes being stuck in an awkward situation; 'plight' emphasizes suffering or misfortune in a serious condition.
zh: “困境”强调陷入尴尬的处境;“苦境”强调在严重状况下的苦难或不幸。
flight
EN: 'Flight' refers to the act of flying or fleeing; 'plight' refers to a difficult or unfortunate situation.
zh: “Flight”指飞行或逃跑的行为;“Plight”指困难或不幸的处境。
拼写提示
EN: Do not confuse 'plight' (a difficult situation) with the archaic verb 'plight' meaning to pledge (as in 'plight one's troth'). Also avoid confusing it with 'flight' or 'light' due to the shared '-ight' ending.
zh: 不要将“Plight”(困难处境)与古动词“Plight”(意为承诺,如“plight one's troth”)混淆。此外,由于共享“-ight”结尾,也要避免将其与“Flight”或“Light”混淆。
