常見錯誤

❌The sunset looked majestic.
✅The sunset looked beautiful.
💡'majestic' is too strong for ordinary sunsets; 'beautiful' or 'gorgeous' is more natural.
❌She wore a majestic dress to the party.
✅She wore an elegant dress to the party.
💡'majestic' sounds unnatural for personal clothing; use 'elegant' or 'stunning'.
