常見錯誤

What are common mistakes with "Aerate"?Which "Aerate" sentences look correct but are wrong?

×I need to aerate the water before drinking.

I need to aerate the soil before planting.

「Aerate」通常用於描述使土壤、草坪或液體(如葡萄酒)接觸空氣,以改善其結構或品質。對於飲用水,更常見的說法是「let the water breathe」或具體描述過程(如「add oxygen」),而非使用「aerate」。

×The machine is used to aerate.

The machine is used to aerate the soil.

「Aerate」是及物動詞,通常需要接一個受詞(如 soil, lawn, water)來明確說明通氣的對象。單獨使用會使句子不完整,語意不清。

×I aerated the room by opening the window.

I ventilated the room by opening the window.

「Aerate」專指透過注入空氣來改善某物質(如土壤、液體)的內部結構或化學狀態。讓房間空氣流通的正確用詞是「ventilate」。兩者雖然都涉及空氣,但使用情境和對象不同。

×The water is aerating.

The water is being aerated.

「Aerate」描述的是人為或機器執行的動作,水本身不會主動進行「通氣」。因此,當描述水正在被通氣的過程時,應使用被動語態(is being aerated)。

×Aerate the cake for 10 minutes.

Let the cake cool for 10 minutes.

「Aerate」不用於描述讓蛋糕「透氣」或「冷卻」。在烘焙情境中,讓蛋糕冷卻的正確說法是「let the cake cool」或「allow the cake to cool」。「Aerate」可能用於描述打發奶油或蛋液使其充滿空氣的過程,但不用於烘焙後的冷卻階段。
