常見錯誤

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

×He is the almighty.

當 'almighty' 用作形容詞時,通常不需要定冠詞 'the',除非它作為名詞的一部分(如 'the Almighty' 指上帝)。在一般描述中,'almighty' 直接修飾主語。

×Christians pray to almighty.

Christians pray to the Almighty.

當特指基督教或其他一神教中的「全能神」時,應使用大寫的 'the Almighty' 作為專有名詞。小寫的 'almighty' 僅用於形容普通事物擁有極大力量或權威。

×He made an almighty mistake.

He made a almighty mistake.

雖然 'almighty' 以母音字母開頭,但其發音為 /ɔːlˈmaɪti/,以子音開頭,因此應使用不定冠詞 'a',而非 'an'。這是學習者常犯的拼寫發音不一致錯誤。

×The almighty engine propelled the car forward.

The powerful engine propelled the car forward.

'almighty' 通常不用於描述機械或技術性的力量,它更常帶有宗教色彩或用於誇張修辭(如 'almighty noise')。描述具體的、物理的強大力量時,使用 'powerful', 'mighty', 或 'strong' 更為自然。

×This god is more almighty than that one.

This god is mightier than that one.

'almighty' 本身已含有「全能、至高無上」的絕對意義,通常不用比較級或最高級。若需比較力量程度,應改用 'mighty', 'powerful' 等詞。
