"The editor improved the manuscript with his changes"
"The weather improved toward evening"
误 I am unable to improve the suggestion.
正 I am unable to improve on the suggestion.
析 improve用作及物动词,表示“改善或改进”。如表示“作出比…更好的东西”,应该说 improve on〔upon〕…,此时, improve是不及物动词。
我们希望改进我们的工作。误 We wish to improve our work better.
正 We wish to improve our work.
析 improve的意思是“改进,使更好(make better)”,已包含better之义,再加上个better,即属赘余。
