I regularly see mistakes with phrases using the words “regards”or “respect”. There are several of these phrases in English, but they are easily confused and mixed up. For example, phrases like in respect to and with regards to are incorrect.
人们在使用与“regards”和“respect”相关的词组时经常会出现误用错用的情况。在英语里，的确有一些与这两个词相关的词组，但很容易混淆。比如，人们经常会用“in respect to”和“with regards to”来表示“关于”的意思，但实际上这种用法是不正确的。
