aura of + N 與 aura that + clause

  • aura of + N 用於描述一種由特定名詞(如地方、人、事物)散發出的整體氛圍或感覺。結構為 aura of + [名詞]

常見錯誤

What are common mistakes with "Aura"?Which "Aura" sentences look correct but are wrong?

×She has an aura of confident.

She has an aura of confidence.

The noun 'aura' must be followed by a noun phrase (e.g., 'of confidence'), not an adjective ('confident'). Use the noun form 'confidence'.

×There is an aura around the celebrity.

The celebrity has an aura.

While 'aura around someone' is sometimes used, it can sound redundant or unnatural. It's more idiomatic to say 'someone has an aura' or 'an aura surrounds someone'.

×I can feel his aura is very strong.

I can feel that his aura is very strong. / His aura feels very strong.

In English, you cannot directly connect two independent clauses ('I can feel his aura' and 'his aura is very strong') without a conjunction like 'that'. Alternatively, rephrase the sentence.

×She wore an aura of red dress.

She wore a red dress that gave her an aura of elegance.

The word 'aura' is an abstract quality or atmosphere, not a physical object you can wear like clothing. It must be described as something a person or thing possesses or projects.

×The aura in the room was very noise.

The aura/atmosphere in the room was very noisy.

'Aura' typically describes a non-physical quality or feeling (e.g., mysterious, peaceful). For a physical description like sound level, 'atmosphere' or 'mood' is more appropriate, and the adjective should be 'noisy', not the noun 'noise'.
