常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Amble"?Which "Amble" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×He ambled quickly to catch the bus.

「amble」本身就表示悠閒、緩慢地走，與「quickly」（快速地）語意矛盾。要表達快速移動應使用其他動詞。
×I ambled my dog in the morning.
✓I walked my dog / took my dog for a walk in the morning.
「amble」是不及物動詞，後面不能直接接受詞。遛狗的正確說法是「walk the dog」或「take the dog for a walk」。
×The car ambled on the highway.
✓The car cruised / drove slowly on the highway.
「amble」通常用於描述人、馬等生物以悠閒的步伐行走，不適用於車輛。描述車輛緩慢行駛應使用「cruise」、「drive slowly」或「putter along」。
×He ambled to finish the report before the deadline.
✓He worked leisurely / took his time to finish the report before the deadline.
「amble」指的是具體的、身體上的緩步行走，不能直接用來比喻抽象的工作或任務進度緩慢。描述不緊不慢地工作應使用「work leisurely」、「take one's time」或「proceed at a leisurely pace」。
×She ambled nervously in the waiting room.
✓She paced nervously / walked anxiously in the waiting room.
「amble」帶有悠閒、放鬆、無目的的正面或中性意涵，與「nervously」（緊張地）的情緒不符。表達因緊張、焦慮而踱步應使用「pace」或「walk anxiously」。
