常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Arrogant"?Which "Arrogant" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×He is an arrogant person, but he is very kind.
✓He is a confident person, but he is very kind.
「arrogant」帶有強烈的負面含義，指過度自大、目中無人。如果此人同時很善良，語意上會產生矛盾。在描述正面特質時，應使用「confident」（自信的）或「self-assured」（有把握的）。
×He arrogant refused to listen to our advice.
✓He arrogantly refused to listen to our advice.
「arrogant」是形容詞，用來修飾名詞（如 an arrogant man）。若要修飾動詞（如「拒絕」的方式），必須使用副詞「arrogantly」。
×She is arrogant of her success.
✓She is arrogant about her success.
描述對某事感到傲慢時，正確的介系詞是「about」，而不是「of」。固定搭配為「arrogant about something」。
×Don't be so arrogant to others.
✓Don't be so arrogant toward others.
表達「對某人傲慢」時，常用介系詞「toward」（英式英語亦可用「towards」）或「with」。使用「to」在此語境下不自然。

×I feel arrogant when I win the game.
✓I feel proud when I win the game.
「arrogant」是描述一個人性格中負面、持續的特質，通常不用來描述短暫的「感覺」（feel）。在表達因成就而產生的正面情緒時，應使用「proud」（自豪的）。說「I feel arrogant」聽起來不自然且自我批評意味強烈。
