Vicky发现很多孩纸在口语表达中，很喜欢多此一举啊！比如："重复"说成repeat again，其实repeat就足够表达了。Vicky并不是觉得你很啰嗦，而是觉得你非常啰嗦！因为Vicky都听蒙圈啦，何况老外！经常犯这种错误，一方面是Chinglish思维造成的，另外一方面就是词汇量不足！快跟着Vicky用心记下那些容易画蛇添足的词汇表达吧！
Vicky吐槽： gunman就已经是持枪武装的人了，再armed 的话，请看上图↑
错误表达：armed gunman
正确表达： gunman
秃顶
Vicky吐槽：bald本来就是 秃顶 的意思，没必要特地指明头秃。。。就好像中文里不会说 “头秃顶” 一个意思。
错误表达：bald-headed
正确表达：bald
捧花
Vicky吐槽：bouquet 就是 花束 的意思 除非你在 of 后面特制某一种花； 否则，直接说bouquet 就好了！
错误表达：bouquet of flowers
正确表达： bouquet
面具
Vicky吐槽：面具 就是放在脸上的。。。。所以就不要加上一个face特指脸啦！
错误表达：face mask
正确表达：mask
圆形
Vicky吐槽：很多同学都会这么说，其实完全没必要，说round谁都知道是一个形状。
错误表达：round in shape
正确表达： round
趋势
Vicky吐槽：在雅思小作文里常见到有同学会这么写，其实 trend就已经在表示当前的趋势啦！
错误表达：current trend
正确表达： trend
下面是Vicky给大家整理的各种画蛇添足的英文表达，
请大家对号入座，看看自己平常都是怎么说的吧！
