常見錯誤

❌She loved him dispassionately.
✅She loved him deeply but tried to discuss their problems dispassionately.
💡'dispassionately' describes calm reasoning, not feelings themselves; it cannot modify verbs like 'love' or 'hate'.
❌He answered dispassionate.
✅He answered dispassionately.
💡needs the '-ly' adverb form to modify the verb 'answered'.
