常見錯誤

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

×I bathe my dog in the river.

I bathe my dog in the river.

雖然句子本身正確,但學習者常混淆 'bathe' 與 'bath'。'Bathe' 是動詞,指清洗的動作;'bath' 是名詞,指浴缸或洗澡這件事。例如:'I give my dog a bath.' 是常見說法,但 'I bath my dog.' 在英式英語中也可接受,但在美式英語中較不自然。此處標示為錯誤是提醒學習者注意此差異,並建議使用更普遍的 'bathe' 作為動詞。

×I bathe in the sun.

I bask in the sun. / I am bathing in the sunlight.

'Bathe' 用於指清洗身體或浸泡在水中。雖然 'bathe in the sun' 是一種詩意或隱喻的用法,意指『沐浴在陽光中』,但在日常英語中,表達曬太陽更自然的動詞是 'bask'。若堅持使用 'bathe',應使用進行式或明確上下文,如 'bathing in the sunlight',以避免被誤解為實際的清洗。

×He bathes his eyes with the medicine.

He bathes his eyes in the medicine. / He rinses his eyes with the medicine.

使用 'bathe' 表示將某部位浸入液體中清洗或舒緩時,介系詞通常用 'in',表示浸泡的狀態。而 'with' 則表示使用的工具或伴隨物。例如 'bathe a wound in salt water'。若要使用 'with',動詞可改用 'rinse' 或 'cleanse'。

×I will go to bathe.

I will go take a bath. / I'm going to bathe.

在美式英語中,'go to bathe' 聽起來不自然。表達『去洗澡』更常見的說法是 'go take a bath/shower' 或 'go and bathe'(後者較少用)。英式英語中 'have a bath' 更常見。單獨使用 'I'm going to bathe.' 是正確的,但 'go to bathe' 作為固定片語則不常用。

×This lotion is used to bathe skin.

This lotion is used to cleanse/moisturize the skin.

'Bathe' 通常指用水或大量液體進行清洗或浸泡的動作。對於乳液、乳霜等護膚產品,其功能是清潔、滋潤或治療,使用 'bathe' 並不精確。應根據產品實際功能,選用更準確的動詞,如 'cleanse'(清潔)、'moisturize'(保濕)、'soothe'(舒緩)等。
