常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Beautify"?Which "Beautify" sentences look correct but are wrong?

×She beautified the old furniture by herself.
✓She refurbished/restored the old furniture by herself.
「beautify」通常指透過裝飾、點綴來改善外觀，使其更吸引人。對於家具、建築等物品的「翻新、修復」，更常使用「refurbish」、「restore」或「renovate」。
×He is beautifying to get ready for the party.
✓He is getting dressed up / grooming himself to get ready for the party.
「beautify」的對象通常是事物或環境，不用來描述人為了特定場合「打扮自己」。描述人時應使用「get dressed up」、「groom」或「make oneself look nice」。

✓This software can enhance / retouch your photos.
在科技或攝影領域，處理照片使其更美通常使用「enhance」、「retouch」、「edit」或「filter」。「beautify」在此語境下聽起來不自然，較少使用。
