用法說明

bawl out vs. bawl at
- bawl out 是一個固定的片語動詞 (phrasal verb)，意思是「嚴厲斥責、大聲責罵」，通常帶有權力關係（如上級對下屬、父母對孩子）。
- bawl at 則單純描述「對某人大喊大叫」，強調的是大聲說話的動作和方向，不一定包含「責備」的含義。
- 兩者的受詞位置不同：bawl someone out (受詞在中間) vs. bawl at someone (受詞在介係詞後)。

EN:The frustrated fan just stood there, bawling at the referee.
翻譯:那位沮喪的球迷就站在那裡，對著裁判大吼大叫。
總結建議
當要表達「嚴厲責罵」時，使用片語 bawl out；若僅指「對某人大聲喊叫」，則使用 bawl at。

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Bawl"?Which "Bawl" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×He was balling his eyes out.
✓He was bawling his eyes out.
「ball」是球或舞會的意思，而「bawl」才是大聲哭喊。兩者發音相似但意思完全不同。
×The coach balled at the players.
✓The coach bawled at the players.
「ball」作為動詞時，意思是「形成球狀」或「狂歡作樂」，而「bawl」才是「大聲喊叫、斥責」。
×She bawled out the answer happily.
✓She shouted out the answer happily.
「bawl」通常帶有負面情緒，如憤怒、痛苦或悲傷。表達高興地喊叫時，應使用「shout」或「call out」。
×I could hear him bawl from the next room.
✓I could hear him bawling from the next room.
在感官動詞（如 hear, see）後面，描述正在進行的動作時，通常使用現在分詞（-ing形式）來強調過程。使用原形動詞（bawl）則暗示聽到的是完整的動作，較不自然。
×He bawled a song on the stage.
✓He belted out a song on the stage.
「bawl」指大聲喊叫或哭嚎，通常不是用於描述唱歌。若要表達「大聲唱出」，應使用「belt out」或「sing loudly」。
×Please don't bawl in the library.
✓Please don't shout/talk loudly in the library.
「bawl」語氣非常強烈，指「嚎哭」或「咆哮」。在一般請對方「不要大聲說話」的禮貌情境中，使用「shout」或「talk loudly」更為合適。
