Archeology from space | Sarah Parcak

TED

This grew into a passion for finding things, a love for the past and archaeology And eventually, when I started studying Egyptology, I realized that seeing with my naked eyes alone wasn't enough, Because all of the sudden in Egypt, my beach had grown from a tiny beach in Maine to one eight hundred miles long next to the Nile, And my sand dollars had grown to the size of cities.

常見錯誤

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

×archeology

archaeology

在英式英語和正式學術寫作中,標準拼寫是 'archaeology',包含 'ae' 字母組合。'Archeology' 是美式英語的簡化拼法,但在國際學術環境中較不常見。

×He works in archaeology department.

He works in the archaeology department.

'Archaeology' 作為學科名稱時是不可數名詞,但當它用來修飾另一個名詞(如 department, site, dig)時,通常需要冠詞 'the' 或 'an' 來特指或泛指。

×He is an expert of archaeology.

He is an expert in archaeology.

表示某個領域的專家時,習慣搭配介系詞 'in',而不是 'of'。'Of' 通常表示所屬關係,而 'in' 表示在某個學科或領域內。

×We studied many archaeologies from different periods.

We studied many archaeological finds (or sites) from different periods.

'Archaeology' 是不可數名詞,指整個學科或研究活動,不能直接加 's' 表示複數。若要指多個考古發現、遺址或分支,應使用具體的可數名詞,如 'finds', 'sites', 'branches'。

×The geology of the region is fascinating for archaeology.

The archaeology of the region is fascinating. OR The geological features are important for archaeology.

'Archaeology'(考古學)是研究古代人類物質遺存的學科,而 'geology'(地質學)是研究地球物質和結構的學科。兩者相關但不同。此處想表達的是該地區的考古發現很有趣,或該地區的地質特徵對考古研究很重要。

×This is an archaeology discovery.

This is an archaeological discovery.

當名詞需要形容詞來修飾時,應使用形容詞形式 'archaeological',而不是名詞 'archaeology'。'Archaeology' 是學科名稱,'archaeological' 才是描述與考古相關事物的形容詞。
