I regularly see mistakes with phrases using the words “regards”or “respect”. There are several of these phrases in English, but they are easily confused and mixed up. For example, phrases like in respect to and with regards to are incorrect.
人們在使用與“regards”和“respect”相關的詞組時經常會出現(xiàn)誤用錯用的情況。在英語里，的確有一些與這兩個詞相關的詞組，但很容易混淆。比如，人們經常會用“in respect to”和“with regards to”來表示“關于”的意思，但實際上這種用法是不正確的。
