总结了5个我们经常会get错的词汇，虽然PTE考试作文里要求的不是那么严格，但是用词正确还是必须的。赶快来一起看一看是哪10个词我们经常搞错吧!

　　1. Ultimate

　　What you think it means: The one, the only. The best.

　　What it really means: The last item of a list.

　　Some people do actually use this one properly. You may see someone list off a bunch of things and hear them say, “Okay, at the store we need eggs, milk, juice, and ultimately, butter.” That is actually the proper use of ultimate. There is no other context or added context. It simply means the last one.

　　说到这个单词，我们现在常用的是“终极的”，听上去就感觉是最厉害，最强的含义。而我们往往引申含义用得太多，忘记了这个单词本身还有“最后的”“最终的”的意思，最后会导致一些同学对于这个词在听力、阅读部分的理解错误。

　　2. Conversate

　　What you think it means: To have a conversation.

　　What it really means: Nothing.

　　Conversate actually doesn't exist and I'll prove it to you. Go into a program that underlines words with red if they're spelled wrong. Now type out conversate. Did you see the red line? Conversate was meant to be a mixture of conversation and converse and be used as a verb. However, converse is a verb and there really isn't a need for a second verb to describe the same action.

　　这其实是不存在的一个单词，很多英文国家的人都认为有，为什么呢?因为大家都认为它是conversation的词根，是交谈的动词的形式。不少同学肯定也是这么以为的哦!其实并没有conversate这个单词!!可千万别再用啦!!那么“交谈”的正确动词形式是什么呢?正确答案是Converse!

　　3. Bemused

　　What you think it means: Amused.

　　What it really means: Confused.

　　This is one of the many words on this list that will make you strongly dislike the English language. Despite looking all but identical to the word amused, bemused doesn't even come close to meaning the same thing. If you are bemused then you are actually confused.

　　这个单词也是Native Speaker也会get错的，因为它和be amused实在太像了。不少人望文生义的就以为它是“be amused 愉快的”的意思，但其实它是“困惑的，茫然的”的含义。

　　4. Nauseous

　　What you think it means: To feel ill.

　　What it really means: To cause feelings of illness.

　　This is another understandable mishap that a lot of people make. If you actually feel sick then you are nauseated. The object that made you feel ill is nauseous. Here's how this works. If you're at an amusement park and you're sitting next to a full trash can, the fumes from the trash may make you feel ill. That means the fumes from the trash can are nauseous because they are making you feel nauseated.

　　这个单词很多同学搞不清楚和sick, ill有什么区别，它的关键之处就在于含义是“令人作呕的”，发下没?“令人”!sick和ill则更侧重于nauseous之后的“感觉”。

　　5. Redundant

　　What you think it means: Repetitive.

　　What it really means: Unnecessarily excessive.

　　This one is tough because you can use it wrong but unintentionally use it right. When you repeat something a bunch of times, it can become redundant, but redundant expands far beyond just repeating things over and over. A popular thing companies are doing now is firing people but instead of calling it “getting fired,” they call it “eliminating redundancies.” The premise being that the employee they're firing is unnecessary and excessive and they are thus eliminating them. In pretty much any scenario where there is simply too much of something, it is redundant.

　　很多同学认为redundant这个单词单纯的就是指“多”“重复”。但其实它包含的含义是“多余”“冗余”的，强调的是“完全没必要的多”。
