翻譯: 她一走進來，寶寶就對著她綻放出燦爛的笑容。

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Beam"?Which "Beam" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×She beamed to me.
✓She beamed at me.
動詞 "beam" 表示微笑時，通常與介系詞 "at" 連用，表示對某人微笑，而不是 "to"。
×The sun beams the earth.
✓The sun beams down on the earth.
當 "beam" 指光線照射時，通常需要搭配副詞（如 down）或介系詞片語（如 onto, upon）來描述光線的方向和目標。單獨使用 "beams the earth" 不自然。
×He beamed with proudly.
✓He beamed with pride.
"beam with" 後面應接名詞（表示情感或狀態），而不是形容詞或副詞。常見用法如 "beam with joy/pride/satisfaction"。
×The signal was beamed to the satellite.
✓The signal was beamed to the satellite. (Correct, but often confused with tense)
此句文法正確，但學習者常誤用時態。"Beam" 在科技情境中表示發送信號時，常用被動語態（was/were beamed）或現在進行式（is/are beaming）。需根據上下文選擇正確時態。
×I beam you a message.
✓I'll beam you the message. / The message will be beamed to you.
"Beam" 在非正式或科幻語境中可表示「傳送」，但較少用於一般現在式描述即時動作。它更常用於未來式、祈使句或被動語態，聽起來更自然。
