×I attached the file in the email.
✓I attached the file to the email.
使用 "attach" 時,正確的介系詞是 "to",表示將某物附加到另一物上。"in" 在此情境下是錯誤的。
×She attached the poster on the wall.
✓She attached the poster to the wall.
將物品固定到一個表面上(如牆壁、板子),應使用介系詞 "to"。"on" 僅描述位置,未表達「附著、固定」的動作。
×I am attaching.
✓I am attaching the file.
"Attach" 是及物動詞,通常需要一個直接受詞(如 file, document, photo)。單獨使用 "I am attaching" 語意不完整。
×Great importance is attached with this project.
✓Great importance is attached to this project.
在被動語態中,表示「重視、賦予重要性」的片語是 "importance is attached to something",介系詞固定為 "to",不可用 "with"。
×Don't forget to attach your signature.
✓Don't forget to sign the document. / Don't forget to add your signature.
"Attach" 主要指附上一個分離的物件(如檔案、照片)。簽名(signature)通常是直接寫在或加在文件上,更自然的說法是 "sign" 或 "add your signature"。
×The blame attaches him.
✓The blame attaches to him.
當 "attach" 用於抽象意義,表示「歸屬、關聯」時(如 blame, responsibility, stigma),同樣需要使用介系詞 "to" 來連接相關的人或事物。
