Dessert and desert
While the prospect of stranding on a dessert island may sound quite appealing to some, you’d probably be more likely to end up on a desert island after having survived a shipwreck. Similarly to the stationary and stationery confusion, a single letter can make a big difference here. Desert can be used both as a noun and a verb, meaning ‘a waterless, empty area’ and ‘to abandon someone’, respectively. A dessert, on the other hand, is the sweet course of a meal.
停留在甜食小岛上听起来很吸引人,但实际上,你可能会在海难后最终在一个荒岛上后海难中幸存下来。类似于stationary 和 stationery,一个字母之差可能导致一个很大的区别。Desert(沙漠)可以作为名词和动词使用,意思分别为“n.沙漠/荒凉之地”和“v.遗弃某人”。Dessert,意为“一餐中的甜点”。
