易混淆词

two-years
EN: 'Two-year' (singular 'year') is correct as a compound adjective before a noun; 'two years' (no hyphen, plural) is used as a noun phrase, e.g., 'It lasted two years.'
zh: 在名词前作复合形容词时，应使用连字符且单数形式的“'Two-year'”（单数“'year'”）；而“'two years'”（无连字符，复数）则用作名词短语，例如：“'It lasted two years.'”。
biennial
EN: 'Biennial' means occurring every two years or lasting two years (often for plants/events); 'two-year' is a more general attributive adjective for any duration of two years.
zh: “'Biennial'”意为每两年发生一次或持续两年（常用于植物/活动）；而“'two-year'”是用于任何为期两年的情况的更通用的定语形容词。
biannual
EN: 'Biannual' means twice a year (every six months), not once every two years; 'two-year' refers to a duration of two years.
zh: “'Biannual'”意为一年两次（每六个月），而非每两年一次；“'two-year'”指的是为期两年的持续时间。

拼写提示

EN: Always hyphenate 'two-year' when used as an adjective before a noun, and keep 'year' singular (not 'two-years'). Compare: 'a two-year contract' vs. 'the contract lasted two years.'
zh: 当“'two-year'”作为名词前的形容词使用时，务必加连字符，并保持“'year'”为单数形式（不要写成“'two-years'”）。比较：“'a two-year contract'”与“'the contract lasted two years.'”。
