Mẫu sử dụng:
the saviour of [someone/something]
Lỗi thường gặp:
Learners sometimes use "saviour" for any small help, but in English it usually sounds strong and dramatic, used when the help is very important. Also, the British spelling is "saviour" while the American spelling is "savior"; both are correct in their own varieties of English.
Từ đồng nghĩa
rescuer (More general and factual; does not carry the same dramatic or emotional force as "saviour".)
Từ trái nghĩa
threat (A threat is something that may cause harm or failure, which is the opposite of a saviour that prevents harm or failure.)
