annotate doing vs annotate to do

  • "annotate" 作為及物動詞,其後直接接名詞或名詞片語作為受詞,例如 "annotate a text"。
  • 在標準用法中,"annotate" 後面不接動名詞 (doing) 或不定詞 (to do) 作為受詞。

易混淆對比

What is the difference between "Annotate" and similar words?How to choose "Annotate" vs alternatives?

annotate vs comment

「annotate」是為文本或圖像添加系統性、解釋性的註記,通常用於學術或分析目的;「comment」則泛指發表意見或評論,形式更為廣泛與口語。

annotate vs mark

「annotate」強調添加文字性的解釋或說明;「mark」則側重於做記號、標示,可能只是符號或簡單標註。

annotate vs summarize

「annotate」是對原文的特定部分進行逐點註解;「summarize」則是概括整體內容,提供簡要概述。

口語用法

引述

在口語中,當引述或提及一個需要註解的動作時,會使用這個詞。 EN: So I was reading the report, and I had to annotate every single chart for the team. 翻譯: 所以我當時在看報告,我得為團隊把每一張圖表都加上註解。

EN:She told me to annotate the key points in the margins as I go.

語氣強調

用來強調仔細、系統性地進行標註的過程,常與副詞連用。 EN: You really need to annotate this document thoroughly before the meeting. 翻譯: 開會前你真的需要把這份文件徹底地註解一遍。

EN:I didn't just read it; I meticulously annotated the whole chapter.

翻譯:我不只是讀了它;我還仔細地為整個章節做了註解。

停頓填充

在描述工作流程或思考過程時,用作短暫的停頓填充,引出接下來的細節。 EN: My process is to, you know, annotate the text first, and then write the summary. 翻譯: 我的流程是,你知道的,先註解文本,然後再寫摘要。

EN:What I usually do is... annotate as I read, so I don't forget my initial thoughts.

翻譯:我通常的做法是…一邊讀一邊註解,這樣才不會忘記最初的想法。

注意:在正式寫作中(如學術論文、專業報告),應使用更精確的術語,例如 "provide annotations for" 或 "add explanatory notes to",並具體說明註解的類型(如批判性註解、文本註解)。口語中較隨意的 "annotate" 在正式文體中可能顯得不夠嚴謹。

常見錯誤

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

×I need to annotate the book.

I need to annotate the text in the book.

「annotate」的對象通常是具體的文字、圖像或數據,而不是承載它們的物理物件(如書本、文件夾)。應具體說明要註釋的內容。

×Please annotate your opinion here.

Please add your opinion as an annotation here.

「annotate」這個動詞本身指的是「添加註解」的動作,而註解的內容(如意見、評論、解釋)是透過介系詞「with」引導或直接作為註解的一部分。不能直接將內容當作動詞的受詞。

×This software can annotate automatically.

This software can generate annotations automatically.

「annotate」通常指人為的、帶有目的性的註釋行為。軟體「自動生成」註解更常使用「generate annotations」或「add annotations automatically」。使用「annotate」來描述全自動過程不夠精準。

×I spent two hours to annotate.

I spent two hours annotating the poem.

「spend time」後應接動名詞(V-ing)形式,而非不定詞(to V)。同時,動詞「annotate」是及物動詞,通常需要受詞,除非上下文已明確指出註釋的對象。

×The annotated version is more annotative.

The annotated version provides more annotations.

「annotative」這個形容詞極其罕見且不自然。想表達「有註解的」或「包含註解的」意思時,應使用「annotated」。想表達「註解豐富的」概念,可以使用「rich in annotations」或「heavily annotated」。
