易混词辨析
cancel、canceled、call off、cancelled vs cancelled
1. cancelled:动词 cancel 的过去式 / 过去分词(英式拼写,美式为 canceled),易混淆拼写(漏双写 l,如 canceld 错误);
2. 与 call off(短语 “取消”,如 call off the meeting 取消会议)区别:cancel 更简洁,call off 更口语(cancelled the meeting=call off the meeting);
3. 语态错误:表 “被取消” 需用被动(The meeting was cancelled 正确,The meeting cancelled 错误,除非主语是主动取消的主体);
4. 常见错误:cancel 不可接 “to do”(cancel to hold 错误,应为 cancel the meeting)。
