crowd [误] The room soon was crowded by people. [正] The room soon was crowded with people. [析] crowded在这句话中应作为形容词,所以这句话不是被动语态而是系表结构,如:The room was crowded with books. cup [误] A silver glass was given to the winner. [正] A silver cup was given to the winner. [误] My mother was looking for the whisky cup. [正] My mother was looking for the whisky glass. [析] glass一般指由玻璃制成的器皿,而cup多指用陶瓷或金属制成的杯子,且cup尤其用在奖杯上。喝酒多用的是玻璃制成的杯子,如我们讲I drink a glass of wine at supper. 而不讲I drink a cup of wine at supper.
