用法說明
How is "Annoy" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Annoy"?
annoy doing vs annoy to do
- annoy doing 通常用來描述一個持續或反覆發生的、令人惱火的行為或狀態。
- annoy to do 則較不自然，因為 "annoy" 不像 "like" 或 "want" 那樣直接接不定詞來表達意圖或偏好。
- 更常見的結構是 It annoys someone to do something，用 "it" 作為形式主語，將真正惱人的動作（不定詞）後移。
- 另一個常用結構是 would be annoyed to do，表達假設性的、會令人感到惱火的情況。 EN: It annoys me to see the kitchen left in a mess. 翻譯: 看到廚房被弄得一團亂，讓我很惱火。
EN:I would be annoyed to have to work on a holiday.
翻譯:如果必須在假日工作，我會感到很煩。
總結建議
建議使用 "It annoys someone to do something" 或 "would be annoyed to do" 的結構來表達「做某事令人惱火」，避免直接使用 "annoy to do"。
