用法說明

bar + V-ing vs bar + from + V-ing

  • bar 作為動詞,表示「禁止、阻擋」時,其後可直接接動名詞(V-ing),表示禁止某個行為本身。
  • 然而,若要明確指出「禁止『某人』做某事」,則需使用 bar + 受詞 + from + V-ing 的結構,其中 from 是關鍵介系詞。
  • 在正式或法律文書中,bar from 的用法更為常見且精確,以避免歧義。
  • 被動語態 be barred from (doing) something 是固定且高頻的用法。

常見錯誤

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

×They bar the door with a wood.

They bar the door with a piece of wood.

作為動詞時,'bar' 的對象通常是門、窗等,但用來阻擋的物品需要明確說明其單位或具體名稱,不能只用不可數名詞。

×The gate bar to prevent intruders.

The gate was barred to prevent intruders.

當主詞是『被阻擋』的物體(如門、路)時,必須使用被動語態 'be barred',因為物體本身不會執行『阻擋』的動作。

×She barred him to enter the room.

She barred him from entering the room.

動詞 'bar' 表示『禁止某人做某事』時,固定搭配是 'bar someone from doing something',介系詞必須用 'from',後面接動名詞 (V-ing)。

×The manager decided to bar.

The manager decided to bar the troublemaker.

及物動詞 'bar' 必須有受詞,不能單獨使用。必須明確指出被禁止或阻擋的對象(人或物)。

×The weather barred us to go out.

The weather barred us from going out. / The weather prevented us from going out.

'bar' 通常指人為、主動或正式的禁止或阻擋,不適用於天氣、疾病等非人為的阻礙。在後者情況下,應使用 'prevent' 或類似動詞。若堅持用 'bar',文法上仍需搭配 'from + V-ing'。

×He barred the door yesterday. (發音或拼字錯誤,誤以為是 'bear' 的過去式)

He barred the door yesterday.

'bar' 是規則動詞,過去式與過去分詞為 'barred'(雙寫 r 再加 ed)。學習者可能因發音或與不規則動詞 'bear'(bore, borne)混淆而拼錯或用錯。
