在現代商業或競標語境中,使用 bid to do 來表達「出價以爭取或達成某事」是最清晰且常見的用法。
bid vs offer
bid 通常指在拍賣或競標中提出的正式價格,帶有競爭性;offer 則泛指任何形式的提議或出價,範圍更廣。
bid vs tender
bid 和 tender 都可指「投標」,但 tender 在商業或政府採購的正式文件中更為常見。
bid vs attempt
bid 作為名詞可指「努力嘗試」,但帶有更強烈的目的性和正式感;attempt 則是一般性的嘗試。
在轉述他人的出價或嘗試時,常用「bid」來簡潔表達。 EN: He was like, "I bid $500," and everyone went silent. 翻譯: 他就說:「我出價五百塊,」然後全場都安靜了。
EN:So she goes, "I bid on the job, but no luck."
翻譯:然後她就說:「我爭取過那份工作,但沒成功。」
在口語中,有時會用「bid」來強調一個最後的、孤注一擲的嘗試。 EN: This is my final bid to get through to you. 翻譯: 這是我最後一次嘗試讓你明白。
EN:I'm making one last bid for freedom this weekend.
翻譯:我這週末要做最後一次爭取自由的嘗試。
在思考或組織語言時,可能會用「bid」的相關短語作為填充詞。 EN: Well, in a bid to... you know... improve things, we changed the plan. 翻譯: 嗯,為了…你知道…改善情況,我們改了計畫。
EN:It was, like, a desperate bid to... um... save time.
翻譯:那就像是,一個絕望的嘗試,為了…呃…節省時間。
請注意:以上口語用法,特別是「停頓填充」和隨意的「引述」形式,不適用於正式書寫或學術文章中。在正式場合,應使用完整、結構清晰的句子來表達「出價」或「嘗試」之意。

動詞 'bid' 的過去式與過去分詞是不規則變化,為 'bid',而非規則變化 'bidded'。
×He bade me good luck at the auction.
✓He bid me good luck at the auction.
在現代英語中,表示『出價』或『投標』時,過去式使用 'bid'。'Bade' 是古舊用法,主要用於表示『命令』或『吩咐』的過去式,在拍賣或競標情境中應避免使用。
×I will bid at the auction.
✓I will bid on the antique vase at the auction.
'Bid' 作為『出價』或『投標』時,通常需要明確指出投標的對象(如物品、合約),常與介系詞 'on' 或 'for' 連用。僅說 'bid at...' 語意不夠完整。
×I bid $50 to sell my old phone.
✓I offered to sell my old phone for $50.
'Bid' 指的是在拍賣或競標中『出價購買』,是買方的行為。若要表達『出價出售』或『提議』,應使用 'offer'。混淆了買方與賣方的動作。
×They are biddding aggressively.
✓They are bidding aggressively.
動詞 'bid' 的現在分詞為 'bidding'。其構成規則為:單音節動詞,且最後三個字母為『輔音-母音-輔音』結構時,才需雙寫最後一個輔音字母。'bid' 不符合此條件,故直接加 -ing。
