用法說明
How is "Announce" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Announce"?
announce doing vs announce to do
- announce doing 表示「宣布（已經或即將）做某事」，強調宣布的內容是一個具體的行動或決定。
- announce to do 在標準英語中並不正確。動詞 "announce" 後不直接接不定詞 "to do" 來表示目的。
- 若要表達「為了做某事而宣布」，應使用其他結構，例如 "announce that..." 或 "announce something in order to..."。
- 在正式書寫或演說中，應避免使用 "announce to do"，因其可能被視為文法錯誤或非正式用法。 EN: The company announced launching a new product line next quarter. 翻譯: 公司宣布將於下一季度推出一條新的產品線。
EN:The mayor announced that she would run for re-election.
翻譯:市長宣布她將競選連任。
總結建議
在正式場合，應使用 "announce that + 子句" 或 "announce + 名詞/動名詞" 來表達宣布的內容，避免使用 "announce to do" 的結構。
