常见错误：
Learners sometimes say *"disrupt to something"* or *"disrupt on something"*. The verb *disrupt* takes a direct object with no preposition: *"The storm disrupted traffic"*, not *"disrupted to traffic"*. Learners may also confuse *disrupt* with *disturb*; use *disrupt* when an activity or service cannot continue normally, and *disturb* when someone is bothered but the activity may still continue.
