常见错误：
Learners sometimes use "fragrant" for bad smells, but in modern English "fragrant" is almost always positive. For bad smells, use words like "smelly", "stinky", or "foul-smelling". Some learners also confuse the spelling with "fragment" (a small piece of something).

用法模式：
fragrant with [abstract noun]
常见错误：
Learners may not recognize this figurative, literary use and may try to read it literally, as if something must physically smell good. In phrases like "fragrant with memories", the word describes a strong emotional or atmospheric quality, not an actual smell.
近义词
evocative (Common literary word for something that strongly brings memories or feelings to mind; does not carry the smell image as strongly.)
|
redolent (Formal/literary; can be both literal (smelling of) and figurative (strongly suggestive of).)
反义词
bland (Suggests something that does not create strong feelings or memories; emotionally or atmospherically weak.)
|
uninspiring (Lacks power to create feelings, images, or memories; opposite of this rich, suggestive use of "fragrant".)
