常见误用提醒

使用 pleading:He was pleading to his boss for a raise. → He was pleading with his boss for a raise. (plead 作为动词时,表示向某人恳求应用介词 with,而不是 to;to 常用于表示恳求的内容,如 plead for something。)

使用 pleading:She made a pleading to the court. → She filed a pleading with the court. (在法律语境中,pleading 作为名词指正式文件,通常与动词如 file、submit 搭配,表示提交诉状,而不是用 make;make a pleading 不符合英语习惯用法。)

使用 appeal:He appealed the judge for mercy. → He appealed to the judge for mercy. (错误:appeal 作为动词表示呼吁时,应接介词 to 引出对象,不能直接接名词。正确用法是 appeal to someone for something。)
