常見錯誤

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

×His articulation of the words are very clear.

His articulation of the words is very clear.

主詞是單數名詞 'articulation',因此動詞應使用單數形式 'is',而非複數 'are'。

×She has a good articulation.

She has good articulation.

'Articulation' 作為不可數名詞,表示說話清晰度或表達能力時,通常不加不定冠詞 'a'。

×The articulation between the two bones.

The articulation of the two bones.

在解剖學或機械學中,表示兩個部分之間的連接或關節時,應使用 'articulation of' 而非 'articulation between'。'Articulation' 本身已隱含連接的概念。

×He needs to work on his articulation skill.

He needs to work on his articulation skills.

此處指的是清晰表達的『能力』,通常以複數形式 'skills' 表示多方面的技巧,而非單一的 'skill'。

×The articulation of the problem was not enough to solve it.

The articulation of the problem was clear, but not enough to solve it.

原句邏輯不清。'Articulation'(闡述)本身是一種表達行為,與『解決問題』沒有直接因果矛盾。應修正為更符合邏輯的句子,說明『清晰的闡述』是必要但非充分的條件。
