用法說明
How is "Bare" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Bare"?
bare doing vs bare to do
- bare + V-ing 通常用於描述「主動揭露、展現」一個正在進行或持續的狀態或行為。
- bare + to + V 則常與情態動詞（如
must,should,would）或特定動詞（如be forced to,be required to）連用，強調「出於必要、義務或特定條件下才揭露」的動作。 - 在表示「被迫/必須揭露」的語境中，使用 bare to do 更為自然。
- 當 bare 作為及物動詞，後面直接接名詞（如
bare one's teeth,bare the truth）時，是固定用法，不適用以上區分。 EN: He bared his soul, sharing his deepest fears. 翻譯: 他袒露了自己的靈魂，分享了他內心最深的恐懼。
EN:Under oath, she was forced to bare the truth to the court.
翻譯:在宣誓下，她被迫向法庭吐露了真相。
總結建議
在表示「被迫或必須揭露」時，使用 bare to do 結構；描述一般性的「展現、暴露」狀態時，則可使用 bare doing 或直接接名詞。
易混淆對比

引述
在口語中，有時會用「bare」來引述或模仿他人誇張或俚俗的說法，帶有一點戲謔或強調的語氣。 EN: He was like, "I can't believe you'd bare your soul to a stranger!" 翻譯: 他就說：「我真不敢相信你會對陌生人袒露心聲！」
EN:She goes, "Don't you dare bare your teeth at me."
翻譯:她就說：「你敢對我齜牙咧嘴試試看。」
語氣強調
在非正式對話中，「bare」可用來加強語氣，表示「非常多」或「完全地」，尤其在英式俚語中常見。 EN: There were bare people at the party last night. 翻譯: 昨晚派對上人超多。
EN:I'm bare tired after that trip.
翻譯:那趟旅行後我累翻了。
停頓填充
在猶豫或思考時，有時會重複或拉長「bare...」作為填充詞，尤其在描述一個即將說出的強烈或私密情況前。 EN: It was just... bare... embarrassing, you know? 翻譯: 那真是…超…尷尬的，你懂吧？
EN:I felt so... bare... exposed after telling him everything.
翻譯:告訴他一切後，我感到非常…赤裸…毫無遮掩。
注意：上述口語用法（尤其是「語氣強調」和「停頓填充」）非常不正式，且帶有強烈的地域或社群俚語色彩。在正式寫作、報告或學術文章中應完全避免，僅使用「bare」的標準動詞含義（如「使裸露」、「揭露」）。

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Bare"?Which "Bare" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×He could not bare the pain.
✓He could not bear the pain.
混淆了發音相同的動詞 'bare'（使裸露）和 'bear'（忍受、承受）。'Bare' 通常指揭露或使某物裸露，而 'bear' 指承受重量、痛苦或責任。
×The investigation will bare the truth.
✓The investigation will uncover/reveal the truth.
雖然 'bare' 有揭露的含義，但用於抽象概念（如真相、事實）時，'uncover' 或 'reveal' 是更自然、更常見的選擇。'Bare' 更常用於具體事物（如身體部位、牙齒）或情感（如靈魂）。
×He bared during the argument.
✓He bared his feelings during the argument.
'Bare' 作為及物動詞時，必須接一個受詞（object），說明裸露的是什麼（如情感、牙齒、頭部、武器）。不能單獨使用。
×The room was completely bare of furniture.
✓The room was completely empty of furniture. / The room was bare.
'Bare' 形容詞意為「空的、光禿禿的」，本身就包含「缺乏」的意味。雖然 'bare of' 的用法存在，但較為文學化或正式。在大多數情況下，單用 'bare' 或使用 'empty of' 更為自然。此處錯誤在於過度使用 'bare of' 結構。
×She made him to bare the truth.
✓She made him bare the truth.
在使役動詞（如 make, let, have）或感官動詞（如 see, hear）之後，接另一個動詞時應使用原形不定詞（bare infinitive），即不帶 'to' 的動詞原形。這裡 'bare' 是原形不定詞。
