常見錯誤

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

He wants to keep his anonymity.

「anonym」是錯誤的單字,正確的名詞是「anonymity」。

×The anonymity of the internet is a double-edged sword.

The anonymity on the internet is a double-edged sword.

談論「在…上的匿名性」時,通常使用介系詞「on」而非「of」。使用「of」會暗示匿名是網路本身的屬性,而非使用者的狀態。

×They donated money with anonymities.

They donated money anonymously.

「anonymity」是不可數名詞,沒有複數形。當要描述「以匿名的方式」做某事時,應使用副詞「anonymously」。

×She enjoyed the anonym of living in a big city.

She enjoyed the anonymity of living in a big city.

「anonym」是錯誤的單字拼寫,正確的拼法是「anonymity」。這是一個常見的拼字錯誤。

×The survey guarantees your anonymity.

The survey guarantees (your) anonymity.

雖然文法上正確,但在許多語境中,「your」是多餘的,因為「anonymity」本身已隱含了「你的」概念。更地道的說法是直接使用「guarantees anonymity」。

×He lost his anonymity after the video went viral.

He lost his anonymity after the video went viral.

此句文法正確,但學習者常誤解「lose anonymity」為負面意思。實際上,它只是描述「不再匿名」的狀態,語境可正可負。
