用法說明
How is "Agitated" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Agitated"?
agitated doing vs agitated to do
- agitated doing 通常描述一個正在進行或持續的激動狀態，強調過程或狀態本身。
- agitated to do 則較少見，若使用則暗示激動情緒是為了某個即將發生的具體行動或反應做準備，帶有目的性。
- 在大多數情況下，描述人的情緒狀態時，agitated 後面直接接名詞（如
agitated state）或由介系詞引導（如agitated about something），而非直接接動詞形式。 - 最自然的用法是將 agitated 視為形容詞，描述主語的狀態，後接說明原因的子句或介系詞片語。 EN: She was agitated, pacing back and forth in the waiting room. 翻譯: 她十分焦躁，在候診室裡來回踱步。
EN:He felt agitated to hear the unexpected news.
翻譯:聽到這個意外的消息，他感到心煩意亂。
總結建議
描述激動情緒時，最常見且自然的用法是將「agitated」作為形容詞，後接說明原因或狀態的片語，而非直接搭配「to do」或「doing」。

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Agitated"?Which "Agitated" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×He was very agitated about the news.
✓The news agitated him greatly.
學習者常將形容詞 'agitated'（感到焦躁的）與動詞 'agitate'（使...焦躁）混淆。此處應使用動詞形式來表達「使某人焦躁」。
×She agitated for her rights.
✓She agitated for her rights.
此句文法正確，但學習者常誤用介系詞。'Agitate' 作為「鼓動、煽動」義時，固定搭配 'for'（為爭取某事）或 'against'（為反對某事）。
×The speech agitated.
✓The speech agitated the crowd.
動詞 'agitate' 作為及物動詞時，必須接賓語（受詞），表示「使某人/某群體激動」。不可單獨使用。
×She is agitating the situation yesterday.
✓She agitated the situation yesterday.
描述過去事件時，應使用過去式 'agitated'，而非現在進行式。'Agitate' 的過去式與過去分詞均為 'agitated'。
×The movie agitated me to cry.
✓The movie moved me to tears.
學習者可能過度延伸 'agitate' 來表達「感動」或「觸動」。'Agitate' 主要意為「使焦慮、激怒或煽動」，帶有負面或不安的含義，不用於正面感動。
