用法說明
How is "Amaze" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Amaze"?
amaze doing vs amaze to do
- amaze doing 這種結構並不自然。動詞 "amaze" 通常不直接接動名詞 (V-ing) 來表示「令人驚訝地做某事」。
- amaze to do 是正確的結構，但使用有限。它通常出現在被動語態或特定形容詞結構中，表示「對做某事感到驚訝」。
- 最常見且自然的用法是 amaze that + 子句 或 be amazed at/by + 名詞/V-ing，直接表達「對...感到驚訝」。
- 主動語態中，"amaze" 作為及物動詞，後面直接接「使人驚訝的對象」作受詞，例如 "His talent amazes me."。 EN: We were amazed to discover the hidden garden. 翻譯: 發現那個隱藏的花園讓我們很驚訝。
EN:It amazes me that he can speak five languages.
翻譯:他能說五種語言，這讓我感到很驚訝。
EN:I am amazed by his ability to solve problems quickly.
翻譯:我對他快速解決問題的能力感到驚訝。
總結建議
建議優先使用 "be amazed at/by" 或 "amaze that" 的結構來表達驚訝，避免直接使用 "amaze to do" 的主動形式。
易混淆對比

amaze vs astonish
「amaze」帶有讚嘆、欽佩的正面意涵；「astonish」則更強調因極度意外或難以置信而感到震驚，可能包含正面或負面的衝擊。
amaze vs impress
「amaze」著重於引發驚奇與讚嘆的反應；「impress」則強調留下深刻、良好的印象，可能伴隨著尊重或欽佩，但不一定達到「驚嘆」的程度。
口語用法

引述

停頓填充
在思考或尋找合適詞語時，有時會用「It's amazing, you know...」或「What amazes me is...」作為填充，引出後續觀點。 EN: It's amazing, you know, how much this neighborhood has changed. 翻譯: 這真的很驚人，你知道嗎，這個社區改變了多少。
EN:What amazes me is that he manages to stay so calm.
翻譯:讓我感到驚奇的是，他總能保持如此冷靜。
正式寫作注意：在學術或正式商業寫作中，應避免使用過於口語化的強調詞（如「totally」）或填充結構（如「you know」）。建議改用更精確的形容詞或直接陳述事實，例如「The results were remarkable」或「A particularly striking finding was...」。

×I amaze by the beautiful scenery.
✓I am amazed by the beautiful scenery.
「amaze」是及物動詞，通常以被動語態「be amazed」來表達「感到驚嘆」。主動語態「amaze」的主語通常是事物，表示「使…驚嘆」。
×It's so amaze!
✓It's so amazing!
「amaze」是動詞原形，不能直接當形容詞使用。要描述事物「令人驚嘆的」性質，應使用其現在分詞形式「amazing」作為形容詞。
×I amaze to see you here.
✓I am amazed to see you here.
表達「對…感到驚訝」時，正確的結構是「be amazed + to-infinitive」或「be amazed + that-clause」，而不是直接用動詞原形「amaze」。
×The news amazes me very much.
✓The news amazes me. / I am very amazed by the news.
動詞「amaze」本身已含有「非常」的強烈程度，通常不與「very much」連用。若要加強語氣，可使用「absolutely」、「truly」等副詞，或使用「very」修飾形容詞「amazed」。
×It amazes that he passed the exam.
✓It amazes me that he passed the exam.
「amaze」是及物動詞，需要一個直接賓語（通常是某人）。在「It amazes someone that...」的結構中，不能省略「someone」。
