易混淆词

preliminary
EN: 'Preliminary' is broader and more common, referring to anything that comes before the main event; 'preparatory' specifically implies active preparation or readiness for what follows.
zh: 'Preliminary' 含义更广且更常用，指任何发生在主要事件之前的事物；'preparatory' 则特指为后续事项进行的积极准备或就绪状态。
preparative
EN: 'Preparative' is a rarer, more formal synonym that can also function as a noun meaning 'a preparatory measure'; 'preparatory' is strictly an adjective.
zh: 'Preparative' 是一个较少见、更正式的近义词，也可作名词使用，意为“预备措施”；而 'preparatory' 严格来说仅作形容词。
