易混淆词

under way
EN: 'Under way' (two words) is the traditional spelling used predicatively (e.g., 'The project is under way'), while 'underway' (one word) is now standard as an attributive adjective (e.g., 'an underway project'), though modern usage increasingly accepts 'underway' in both positions.
zh: 'Under way'（两个词）是传统用法，用于表语位置（例如：'The project is under way'），而 'underway'（一个词）现在作为定语形容词的标准拼写（例如：'an underway project'），尽管现代用法中 'underway' 在两种位置都越来越被接受。

拼写提示

EN: Traditionally written as two words ('under way') when used predicatively, but the one-word form 'underway' is now widely accepted in all positions. Avoid confusing it with 'underweigh' (a nautical term meaning to raise anchor).
zh: 传统上在作表语时写作两个词（'under way'），但现在单字形式 'underway' 在所有位置上都被广泛接受。注意不要将其与 'underweigh'（航海术语，意为起锚）混淆。
