Erros frequentes

• ✗他的演讲很有力量，打动了大家。
  ✓他的演讲铿锵有力，震撼人心。

  "很有力量" is bland and colloquial. At C2, replace generic intensifiers with precise, high-register expressions like 铿锵有力 (sonorous and forceful) and 震撼人心 (moves the heart).

• ✗这个问题很复杂，需要仔细研究。
  ✓此议题错综复杂，亟需深入剖析。

  "很复杂" and "仔细研究" are overly plain. Use 错综复杂 (intricately complex) and 深入剖析 (in-depth analysis) for formal written precision.

• ✗他说了很多废话，让人不知道他在说什么。
  ✓其言辞冗赘，语焉不详，令人费解。

  "废话" is too colloquial for formal critique. 冗赘 (verbose/redundant) and 语焉不详 (vague and unclear) are the precise literary equivalents.
