attack doing vs attack to do
- attack doing 通常用於描述一個具體、正在進行或習慣性的攻擊行為，強調攻擊的過程或狀態。
- attack to do 則較為少見，通常出現在表示「為了達成某個目的而攻擊」的語境中，或與某些情態動詞（如
would）連用，表示假設或意圖。 - 在大多數描述直接攻擊行動的情況下，使用 attack + 受詞 或 attack doing 更為自然。 EN: The hackers were caught attacking the network infrastructure. 翻譯: 駭客在攻擊網路基礎設施時被逮個正著。
EN:The rebels would attack to seize control of the supply route.

✓He was attacked by a dog yesterday.
在被動語態中，動詞 'attack' 需要使用過去分詞形式 'attacked'，而不是原形。

可數名詞 'virus' 在泛指時，應使用複數形式 'viruses' 或加上不定冠詞 'a'。單數可數名詞不能單獨使用。
