这尊塑像虽然重，但是可以移动。
误：This statue is heavy but mobile.
正：This statue is heavy but movable.
解析：
形容词mobile表示“动的”，“活动的”[capable of moving, responding to impulses and emotions]，已含主动意义；而movable却表示“可动的”，“能动的”[capable of being moved and able to be rearranged]，已含被动意义。
例句：
Although the player was badly injured, he was still mobile.|尽管这位运动员伤得很重，但还能动。
May workmen aren't mobile; if they move to new employment they have difficulties in moving their families.|许多工人是不能流动的；他们若是调往新的工作，搬起家来会有许多困难。
Christmas is fixed but Easter is a movabe feast.|圣诞节是固定不变的，但复活节却是每年都变动的节日。
All movable articles including pictures and rugs were taken out of the apartment before the next tenants moved in.|在下一批方可半斤之前，所有能挪动的家具，包括图片和地毯，都搬出了这套公寓。
