用法說明
How is "Angle" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Angle"?
angle for vs. angle to do
- angle for 通常表示「為謀求某物而採取策略或手段」，後面直接接名詞或名詞片語，表示追求的目標。
- angle to do 則表示「為了做某事而採取策略或手段」，強調最終要執行的動作，後面接動詞原形。
- 兩者都暗示帶有策略性、間接性或某種意圖，而非直接行動。 EN: He's always angling for compliments by talking about his achievements. 翻譯: 他總是透過談論自己的成就來博取讚美。
EN:She angled to get a promotion by taking on high-profile projects.
翻譯:她藉由承接高能見度的專案來謀求升職。

在表達「謀求」時，若目標是具體事物用「angle for + 名詞」，若目標是執行某個動作則用「angle to + 動詞原形」。

作為動詞時，「angle」意為「以某種角度呈現或定位」，或用於「angling for something」（謀求某物）。表達「從某個角度/觀點看待問題」時，應使用「from a different angle/perspective/viewpoint」。此處「angle」是名詞用法。
×He angled to get a promotion.
✓He was angling for a promotion.
動詞「angle」在表示「謀求、試圖獲取」時，是不及物動詞，必須與介系詞「for」連用，形成片語「angle for something」。不能直接接受詞。

✓The writer angled the article to support his opinion.
