用法說明
How is "Actively" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Actively"?
actively doing vs actively to do
- "actively doing" 表示正在進行的、持續的主動行為或參與。
- "actively to do" 在標準英語中並非正確的搭配，因為 "actively" 是副詞，通常修飾動詞的進行式或一般式，而非不定詞 "to do"。
- 若要表達「積極地去做某事」的意圖或目的，通常會使用其他結構，如 "make an active effort to do" 或 "actively work to do"。
- 在動名詞（-ing）前使用 "actively" 是最自然、最常見的用法，用以描述某人如何投入一項活動。 EN: She is actively participating in the community project. 翻譯: 她正積極參與社區專案。
EN:He made an active effort to improve his skills.
翻譯:他積極努力提升自己的技能。
總結建議
建議使用 "actively + V-ing" 來描述正在進行的主動行為，並避免使用 "actively to + V" 的不正確結構。

語氣強調
在口語中，用來強調某個行動並非被動或消極，而是帶有目的性和活力的。 EN: I'm not just waiting around; I'm actively searching for a new job. 翻譯: 我不是在乾等，我是在積極地找新工作。

翻譯: 所以我正在做的是…積極地…試圖改進流程。
EN:The plan involves us, you know, actively engaging with the community.

正式寫作注意：在正式或學術寫作中，actively 有時被視為冗詞（因為 participate, seek, engage 等動詞本身已隱含主動性），建議審慎使用，確保其確有必要強調「積極性」時才加入。

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Actively"?Which "Actively" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×She is very active involved in the project.
✓She is actively involved in the project.
混淆形容詞 'active' 與副詞 'actively'。'active' 修飾名詞，'actively' 修飾動詞或形容詞。描述參與的方式或狀態時，應使用副詞 'actively' 來修飾動詞 'involved'。
×They are working to actively reduce costs.
✓They are actively working to reduce costs.
副詞 'actively' 的位置錯誤。通常應直接置於所修飾的主要動詞之前（如 are working），以清楚表明修飾關係。置於不定詞 'to reduce' 中間（split infinitive）雖然語法上可接受，但可能造成語意模糊，對學習者而言，置於主要動詞前是更清晰安全的用法。
×She actively ran every morning to train for the marathon.
✓She ran every morning to train for the marathon.
與本身已暗示「積極/努力」的動詞連用時，'actively' 顯得多餘。例如 'run'、'train'、'study' 等動詞本身已包含努力之意，加上 'actively' 反而顯得累贅。'actively' 更適合與 'participate'、'involved'、'seek'、'promote' 等表示參與或推動的動詞連用。
×We are currently recruiting new staff.
✓We are actively recruiting new staff.
混淆 'actively'（積極地）與 'currently'（目前）。'currently' 僅表示時間上的「現在」，而 'actively' 強調「以積極、主動的方式進行」。在招募、尋找、推動等情境中，若想強調主動努力的過程，應使用 'actively'。
×She is an active participant in the discussion.
✓She participates actively in the discussion.
誤將應使用副詞修飾動詞的結構，改用形容詞修飾名詞。原句語法正確但語意重點不同：'an active participant' 描述她是哪種參與者（名詞修飾）。若想強調她「參與」這個動作的方式是積極的，應使用副詞 'actively' 修飾動詞 'participates'。
