常見錯誤

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

×This is an authenticity food.

This is authentic food.

不要混淆形容詞 'authentic' 和名詞 'authenticity'。'Authentic' 用來描述事物本身是真實的,而 'authenticity' 是指真實性這個概念或品質。

×This is a real authentic experience.

This is an authentic experience.

'Authentic' 本身已包含「真實的、非虛假的」意思,加上 'real' 顯得多餘且不自然。在正式或簡潔的寫作中應避免這種重複。

×This painting is authentic about the Ming Dynasty style.

This painting is authentic to the Ming Dynasty style.

描述某物符合或忠於某種風格、傳統或原版時,應使用介系詞 'to',而不是 'about'。'About' 用於談論相關主題,而非表示符合性。

×I want to buy an authentic Rolex watch from that street vendor.

I want to buy a genuine Rolex watch from an authorized dealer.

'Authentic' 強調真實、非仿冒,且符合原創或傳統。對於名牌商品,'genuine' 更常指「真品、非假貨」。此外,從非授權管道購買通常難以保證是 'authentic/genuine'。語意和情境需搭配正確。

×He is a very authentic person because he always tells his true feelings.

He is a very genuine/sincere person because he always expresses his true feelings.

'Authentic' 主要用於描述事物(如食物、藝術品、經驗、文件)的真實性或原創性。描述人「真誠、不虛偽」時,更常用 'genuine', 'sincere' 或 'real'。雖然 'authentic person' 的用法在英語中逐漸增加,但在許多學習情境和正式寫作中,使用 'genuine' 更為常見和自然。

常見拼寫錯誤,將 'authentic' 中的 'e' 誤寫為 'a'。記住正確拼寫 'au-then-tic',發音 /ɔːˈθen.tɪk/ 有助於避免錯誤。
