易混词（形近或义近，注意区别）
  • duvet 羽绒被；被芯（英式）
    quilt 通常指较厚、表面有绗缝线的被子，可直接盖；duvet 指装入被套使用的羽绒或化纤被芯，英式家庭更常用。说“换被套”是 change the duvet cover，不是 change the quilt cover。
    They changed the duvet for a lighter one when summer came. 夏天到了，他们换了一床更轻的羽绒被。
  • blanket 毯子；毛毯
    quilt 是填充较厚、以布料为面的被子，多用于铺床；blanket 是较薄的一片式毯子，可披在身上或铺在床、地上。正误对比：铺床保暖用 a quilt（对）／把毯子披在肩上用 a blanket（对），两者不可随意互换。
    He wrapped a blanket around his shoulders and sat by the fire. 他把毯子裹在肩上，坐在炉火旁。
