常見錯誤

❌The distance is calculable so it is hard to measure.
✅The distance is measurable/computable so it is easy to find.
💡'calculable' means 'possible to calculate', not 'difficult to calculate'.
❌She is a calculable person.
✅She is a dependable/reliable person.
💡'calculable' does not mean 'dependable' in modern English.
