1. date
[误]He studied ten hours a date.
[正]He studied ten hours a day.
[析]date是指具体日期。如问What's the date today? 应回答具体日期：“October 1st 1998.”而day是指1日(24小时)。如What day is today? 问的是星期几，应回答“It's Sunday.”
[误]Today's date is January first, 1998.
[正]Today's date is January 1, 1998.
[正]Today's date is January 1st, 1998.
[析]在日期书写中不要用序数词全写，而要用1st, 2nd, 3rd等。如果一定要用序数词，其顺序应为：It is the first of January.
2. day
[误]This is a book about every day English.
[正]This is a book about everyday English.
[正]This is an everyday English book.

3. dead
[误]My father has died for ten years.
[正]My father has been dead for ten years.
[析]die是瞬间动词，它可以用于完成时，如：My father has died. 但用于完成时不能与表示一段时间的状语连用。它也可以用于过去时，如：My father died three years ago.

[正]We'll always remember the dead who were killed in the war.
[析]形容词前如加定冠词表示一类人，如the rich(富人)，the sick(病人)，the poor(穷人)，其后的谓语动词要用复数，如：The rich are not always happy.
dead, deadly
dead在某些词组里是“完全”、“的确”的意思，如dead right, dead tired, dead sure。而deadly则是“致命的”，如：The rich man had many deadly enemies. 又如：Cancer is a deadly disease.
dead, died
dead是形容词，如：Mrs Ginty was dead. 而died是动词die的过去式及过去分词，如：She died in 1960.但英语中如表达出对某人去世的伤感说法是pass away, 如：My father passed away, this morning.
4. deer
[误]In the zoo, there are many deers.
[正]In the zoo, there are many deer.
[析]deer是单、复数同形的词，如：one deer，two deer，这样的名词还有fish，sheep等。但如果讲There are many fishes here. 这句话应译为“这里有许多种鱼类。”而不应译为“这里有很多鱼。”
5. desk
