interest
[误] He has a great interest for physics.
[正] He has a great interest in physics.
[误] He has some interest in many companies.
[正] He has some interests in many companies.
[析] interest作为"兴趣"讲可用作不可数名词，但作为"利息"、"股份"讲时为可数名词。
[误] This is an interested book.
[正] This is an interesting book.
[析] 修饰物时应用interesting, 如，an interesting film，而讲某人对某事感兴趣时要用过去分词interested，如： I'm interested in this play. 但"他是一个十分有趣的人"。应译为He is an interesting man. 所以interesting是"令人感兴趣"之意，而interested则表示某人对某事物感兴趣，多用"be interested in something"这一句型。 invent
[误] America was invented by Christopher Columbus in 1492.
[正] America was discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1492.
[析] invent意为"发明"即从无到有，如： Compass was invented by the Chinese people. 而discover则意为"发现"。 it
[误] That takes me ten years to finish this work.
[正] It takes me ten years to finish this work.
[析] it在这个句中的语法作用是形式主语，而真正的主语是句子后面的不定式。有的句子要用it作形式主语或形式宾语，如： I think it difficult to learn English well.
