常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Awesome"?Which "Awesome" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×He performed awesome in the competition.
✓He performed awesomely in the competition.
「awesome」是形容詞，修飾名詞或代名詞。修飾動詞（如 perform）時，應使用副詞「awesomely」。
×The food was awesome, just normal.
✓The food was very good, just normal.
「awesome」表示「極好、令人驚嘆的」，語氣非常強烈，不適合用來描述「普通、正常」的事物。描述一般好的事物應使用「good」或「very good」。
×We are honored by your awesome presence, Mr. President.
✓We are honored by your esteemed presence, Mr. President.
「awesome」是口語化、情感強烈的詞彙，不適用於正式或莊重的場合。在正式文書或對尊貴人物的致詞中，應使用「esteemed」、「honorable」等更正式的詞語。
×The movie was not awesome at all; it was terrible.
✓The movie was not good at all; it was terrible.
使用「not awesome」來否定「awesome」並不自然，因為「awesome」本身是極端正面的詞。通常直接使用其反義詞（如 terrible）或使用「not good」來表達。
×I have an awesome to tell you.
✓I have an awesome story to tell you.
「awesome」是形容詞，不能單獨作為可數名詞使用。必須與名詞連用，如「an awesome movie」、「an awesome idea」。
×The pencil is awesome. The desk is awesome. The lesson is awesome.
✓The pencil is useful. The desk is sturdy. The lesson is interesting.
濫用「awesome」來描述所有正面事物會使語言顯得單調且不精確。應根據具體情境選用更貼切的形容詞，如 useful, sturdy, interesting, fun 等。
