常見錯誤

❌She is a rambler who enjoys slow walks in the park.
✅She is an ambler who enjoys slow walks in the park.
💡'Rambler' refers to someone who walks long distances in the countryside for pleasure, while 'ambler' emphasises the slow, unhurried pace.
❌I saw a group of amblers power-walking down the street.
✅I saw a group of amblers strolling down the street.
💡'Amblers' are defined by their relaxed pace, so pairing with 'power-walking' contradicts the meaning.
