用法說明
How is "Battle" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Battle"?
battle doing vs battle to do
- battle doing something 通常強調對抗或克服一個持續的、習慣性的或已存在的困難或狀態。
- battle to do something 則更常指向為達成某個具體目標或結果而奮鬥的過程，強調「為了（做某事）而奮戰」。
- 在許多情況下，兩者可以互換，但細微差別在於「doing」側重於對抗的對象本身，而「to do」側重於奮鬥的目的。 EN: The company has been battling rising costs for years. 翻譯: 這家公司多年來一直在對抗不斷上升的成本。
EN:The firefighters battled to control the blaze before dawn.
翻譯:消防員奮力撲救，以期在黎明前控制住火勢。
總結建議
在表達為達成特定目標而奮鬥時，使用 battle to do 會更精確；若強調對抗一個持續的困境，則兩者皆可。

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Battle"?Which "Battle" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×They battle against the problem.
✓They are battling the problem.
作為動詞時，'battle' 通常直接接受詞，不需要 'against'。'battle against' 雖然語意上可理解，但較不自然。動詞 'battle' 常用於進行式，表示持續奮鬥。
×It was a long battle with many battle.
✓It was a long battle with many battles.
'battle' 作為可數名詞時，複數形式為 'battles'。此錯誤源於混淆可數與不可數用法，或忘記名詞複數變化。
×They battle for their rights last year.
✓They battled for their rights last year.
描述過去發生且已結束的奮鬥，應使用過去式 'battled'。使用現在式 'battle' 會造成時態錯誤。若描述過去持續一段時間的奮鬥，也可用過去進行式 'were battling'。
×The team is battling.
✓The team is battling their rivals. / The team is in a battle.
及物動詞 'battle' 通常需要一個直接受詞（如問題、對手、疾病）。若想表達「處於戰鬥/奮鬥狀態」，應使用名詞形式 'in a battle' 或 'engaged in battle'。單獨使用 'is battling' 語意不完整。
×She battled with her illness bravely.
✓She battled her illness bravely.
動詞 'battle' 在表示「與...抗爭」時，多為及物動詞，直接加受詞（如 battle an illness, battle inflation）。使用 'with' 雖非完全錯誤，但較不常見且可能弱化直接對抗的語意。'battle with' 有時用於表示內部掙扎（如 battle with one's conscience）。
