常見錯誤

❌All the passengers were undamaged after the crash.
✅All the passengers were unharmed after the crash.
💡'undamaged' describes objects and structures, not living beings.
❌The undamaged car was still working fine.
✅The undamaged car was still in perfect working order.
💡'undamaged' already means in good condition; avoid redundancy with 'still working fine'.
