常見錯誤

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

×I affiliated with the company.

I am affiliated with the company.

「affiliate」作為動詞時,描述一種狀態或關係,通常使用被動語態(be affiliated with)來表示「與...有聯繫、附屬於」。主動語態通常用於組織或機構作為主語,表示「使...加入、使...附屬」。

×She is an affiliate to the program.

She is an affiliate of the program.

當「affiliate」作為名詞使用時,表示「成員、分支機構、附屬者」,其後連接的介系詞應為「of」,表示所屬關係。使用「to」是錯誤的。

×We decided to affiliate our new branch.

We decided to affiliate our new branch with the headquarters.

動詞「affiliate」是及物動詞時,意為「使...加入、使...附屬於」,其後必須接「with + (所加入的組織/機構)」來完整表達意思,不能單獨使用。

×I will affiliate in the conference next month.

I will participate in the conference next month.

「Affiliate」指的是建立正式或官方的附屬、聯盟關係,而非一般性的「參加」或「參與」活動。表示參加會議、活動應使用「participate in」、「attend」或「join」。

×The two companies are affiliated together.

The two companies are affiliated.

「Affiliated」本身已包含「相互聯繫、結盟」的意思,加上「together」是多餘的,屬於贅詞。應直接使用「are affiliated」。
