用法說明

How is "Apart" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Apart"?

apart from doing vs apart from to do

  • apart from doing 通常用於表示「除了做某事之外」,強調的是將某個活動或狀態排除在整體情況之外。
  • apart from to do 這個結構在標準英語中幾乎不使用,聽起來不自然。若要表達「除了去做某事」,通常會使用其他結構,如 apart from the fact that... 或直接說明例外情況。
  • apart from 後面需要接動詞時,應使用動名詞 (-ing 形式)。
  • 在否定句或疑問句中,apart from 的用法保持不變,後面依然接動名詞。 EN: Apart from reading, he has no other hobbies. 翻譯: 除了閱讀,他沒有其他嗜好。

EN:The room was silent, apart from the clock ticking.

翻譯:房間裡一片寂靜,只有時鐘滴答作響。

總結建議

apart from 之後若要接動詞,應使用 doing 形式,避免使用 to do

常見錯誤

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

×We live apart each other.

We live apart from each other.

「apart」用作「分開」時,通常需要搭配介系詞「from」來連接分開的對象。

×He took the clock apart to fix it.

He took the clock apart to fix it.

此句文法正確,但學習者常誤解「take apart」的意思。它指的是「拆開、拆卸」,而非「拿走一部分」。

×They are living apart together.

They are living apart.

「apart」本身已包含「分開、分離」的狀態,加上「together」會造成語意矛盾。若要表達「分居但維持關係」,應使用「living separately」。

×Stand apart! The wall is falling.

Stand back! The wall is falling.

「apart」強調的是個體之間的「分離、分散」,而「back」才是指「向後退、保持距離」。此情境應使用「back」或「away」。

×I can't tell the twins apartly.

I can't tell the twins apart.

「tell apart」是一個固定的動詞片語,意思是「區分、辨別」。這裡的「apart」是副詞,不應加上副詞字尾「-ly」。

×Their opinions are far apart each other.

Their opinions are far apart.

「apart」作為形容詞或副詞描述狀態時(如 be far apart),後面不需要再接「from each other」,因為「apart」已隱含了相互比較的意味。
