常見錯誤

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

×He was very belligerent to help.

He was very belligerent and refused to help.

「belligerent」描述好鬥、挑釁的態度或行為,而非不願意或拒絕的狀態。它不直接等於「不合作的」,而是帶有敵意或攻擊性的不合作。

×She felt belligerent after hearing the sad news.

She felt depressed/angry after hearing the sad news.

「belligerent」主要指外在表現出的敵對或好戰行為,而非內在的悲傷、沮喪等情緒。它強調的是對外的攻擊性,而非內向的負面感受。

×The two belligerent countries finally signed a peace treaty.

The two warring/belligerent countries finally signed a peace treaty.

雖然「belligerent」作名詞可指「交戰國」,但在形容國家處於戰爭狀態時,「warring」更為常見和自然。單獨使用「belligerent countries」可能讓讀者聚焦於其「好鬥的」特質,而非正式的交戰狀態。在正式語境中,兩者皆可,但學習者常誤以為只能使用「belligerent」。

×He is a belligerent person, always ready to argue.

He is a belligerent person, always ready to argue.

此句文法正確,但學習者常誤解「belligerent」與近義詞(如 aggressive, hostile)的細微差別。「Aggressive」可指積極進取或具攻擊性;「hostile」強調強烈敵意;而「belligerent」特指渴望爭鬥、好戰的態度,常帶有準備好吵架或打架的意味。在非正式口語中,用「argumentative」可能更貼切。

×She gave him a belligerent look that meant she was confused.

She gave him a confused/perplexed look.

「belligerent look」指的是帶有敵意、挑釁或憤怒的眼神,而非困惑或不解的眼神。這是對形容詞所修飾的非語言溝通(如表情、姿態)的常見誤用。
