[誤] Eventually the government has to apply strong policies to alcohol producing and purchasing.

[正] Eventually the government has to apply tough policies to alcohol producing and purchasing.

注：這種錯誤源于對詞義理解不準確。“強硬”要用 tough 表達，而說一個人強壯應該用 strong。

參考例句：The steak was tough and the peas were like bullets 牛排老得嚼不動，豌豆像子彈一樣硬
