关键使用提醒

1.可数名词属性:incident 是可数名词,表达 “一件事” 用an incident,多件事用incidents,不能说 “a incident”(元音音素开头,用 an)。

2.语义范围:incident 的语义范围比 accident 广,所有 accident 都可以算 incident,但 incident 不一定是 accident。

3.写作加分:描述日常发生的小事时,用 incident 代替简单的 “thing”,让表达更精准,比如 “我经历了一件有趣的事”→ I experienced a funny incident.(比 I experienced a funny thing 更地道)。

New words:

handful /ˈhændfʊl/ n.一把(的量);少数;

核心逻辑:

后缀 -ful 接在名词后,常表 “…… 的量”。
mouthful(一口)、spoonful(一勺),可串联记忆。
