常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Abandoned"?Which "Abandoned" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×He abandoned to smoke.
✓He gave up smoking.
「abandon」通常用於放棄某個地方、計畫、人或責任，不直接用於「戒除習慣」。戒除習慣應使用「give up」或「quit」。
×The old house was abandoned from the owner.
✓The old house was abandoned by the owner.
表達「被某人遺棄」時，應使用被動語態「be abandoned by someone」，而非「from」。
×She felt very abandoned when her friends didn't call.
✓She felt very lonely / neglected when her friends didn't call.
「abandoned」作為形容詞描述「被遺棄的狀態」，通常用於具體的人、動物、地方或物品。描述「感到孤單、被忽視」的情感時，使用「lonely」、「neglected」或「forsaken」更為自然。
×They abandoned the car and left.

此句文法正確，但學習者常誤解「abandon」僅用於永久性、不負責任的拋棄。它也可用於緊急情況下暫時離開，但通常暗示不打算返回或取回。

✓I will try to shake off my bad mood.
「abandon」通常不用於抽象的情緒或感覺。擺脫壞心情應使用「shake off」、「get rid of」或「overcome」。
