常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Astounded"?Which "Astounded" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×I was astounded by the news.
✓I was astounded by the news.
雖然句子本身正確，但學習者常將 'astounded' 與 'astonished' 或 'surprised' 混淆。'Astounded' 語氣更強烈，表示極度震驚或難以置信，通常用於更戲劇性或令人難以理解的場合。
×The result astounded to everyone.
✓The result astounded everyone.
'Astound' 是及物動詞，後面直接接受詞（被震驚的人或群體），不需要介系詞 'to'。常見錯誤是受中文「令...感到震驚」的結構影響，誤加 'to'。
×I am astounding by his knowledge.
✓I am astounded by his knowledge.
混淆現在分詞 (astounding) 與過去分詞 (astounded) 的用法。'Astounding' 是形容「令人震驚的事物」，'astounded' 是描述「人的感受」。人感到震驚，要用 'astounded'。
×It astounds me that how he did it.
✓It astounds me how he did it.
在 'It astounds me that...' 或 'It astounds me how/who/why...' 的句型中，'that' 和 'how/why' 等疑問詞是引導名詞子句的連接詞，兩者擇一即可，不可同時使用。
×She looked astounded when she heard the price.
✓She looked astounded when she heard the price.
句子本身正確，但學習者可能過度使用 'astounded' 於日常的小驚訝。'Astounded' 適用於重大、非凡或難以置信的事件。對於價格昂貴這類較常見的驚訝，使用 'shocked' 或 'surprised' 更為自然。
