常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Beloved"?Which "Beloved" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×He is a beloved person.
✓He is beloved.
在英文中，'beloved' 本身已帶有強烈的情感，通常不與 'person' 這類泛指名詞連用，以避免冗餘。它更常直接修飾特定對象（如 'beloved father'）或用作補語。
×This is my most beloved book.
✓This is my beloved book.
'Beloved' 本身已含有「最受喜愛」的極致意味，通常不再與 'most' 等最高級副詞連用。若想強調，可使用 'deeply beloved' 或 'truly beloved'。
×I gave a gift to my beloved.
✓I gave a gift to my beloved wife.
單獨使用 'my beloved' 作為名詞（指心愛的人）在現代英語中聽起來較為古老或詩意，在日常對話中可能顯得不自然。通常會接具體的關係稱謂（如 'beloved husband'）或用在非常親密/文學性的语境中。
×She is a beloved teacher for her patience.
✓She is a beloved teacher because of her patience.
使用 'for' 來表示「因為」在此處較不自然，尤其是在說明具體原因時。應使用 'because of', 'due to', 或 'for her' 後接特質（如 'for her kindness'）的結構更為常見和準確。原句可能受中文「因為她的耐心而受愛戴」結構影響。
×This beloved-by-all movie won an award.
✓This movie, beloved by all, won an award.
將 'beloved by all' 用連字號連接作為複合形容詞放在名詞前，雖然文法上可能成立，但顯得不自然且笨重。更地道的用法是將其作為後置的形容詞片語或關係子句（如 'which is beloved by all'）。
