常見錯誤

The heat was endurable hot.
The heat was endurable.
'endurable' is an adjective, not an adverb. Use 'endurably' to modify another adjective ('endurably hot').
This pain is not endurable enough to stand.
This pain is not endurable.
'endurable' already means 'possible to bear'; adding 'enough to stand' is redundant.
