Lindsay: 我发现'loathe'这个词作为形容词和动词的拼写不同，这是一个常见的母语者错误。如果你能正确拼写'loathe'，尤其是在工作邮件中，你会比80%的母语者做得更好。我们不仅会分享你喜欢的东西，还会分享你讨厌的东西，因为这也能建立联系。分享你不喜欢做的事情也能建立积极的联系，尤其是在与他人有共同点时。
Aubrey: 我认为使用'loathe'这个词能让你进入前25%的母语者行列。当使用形容词'loathe'时，总是以'loathe to'的形式出现，表示非常不喜欢或讨厌某事。'abhor'比'loathe'更强烈，表示最强烈的厌恶。'disdain'既可以作名词也可以作动词。'I loathe it'中的'loathe'是动词，所以拼写是L O A T H E。
