用法說明
How is "Bind" different from similar structures?What usage mistakes are common with "Bind"?
bind to do vs bound to do
- bind to do 中的
bind是動詞原形，意思是「約束、使負有義務」，後面接to + 動詞原形，表示約束某人去做某事。 - bound to do 中的
bound是形容詞，意思是「必然的、註定的」，後面接to + 動詞原形，表示某事極有可能或一定會發生。 - 兩者結構相似，但詞性與核心意義不同：一個是主動的「約束」，一個是被動的「必然」。
- 注意
bound也可以是動詞bind的過去式或過去分詞，表示「被綁住」，例如He was bound to the chair.（他被綁在椅子上）。 EN: The contract will bind you to pay the full amount. 翻譯: 這份合約將約束你支付全額款項。
EN:With such strong evidence, he is bound to be found guilty.
翻譯:證據如此確鑿，他必然會被判有罪。
EN:They tried to bind him to keep the secret.
翻譯:他們試圖約束他保守秘密。
EN:If you keep driving so fast, you're bound to have an accident.
翻譯:如果你繼續開這麼快，你肯定會出車禍。
總結建議
使用時需根據語意判斷是表達「約束去做」（bind to do）還是「必然發生」（bound to do）。
易混淆對比
What is the difference between "Bind" and similar words?How to choose "Bind" vs alternatives?
bind vs tie
「bind」強調牢固地捆綁或約束，常帶有法律、道德或強制性約束的含義；「tie」則較為通用，指用繩、線等繫住或連接，也可指比賽平手或建立關係。
bind vs attach
「bind」側重於捆綁、束縛，使成為一體或無法自由行動；「attach」強調將一物連接、固定或附著在另一物上，不一定有束縛的意味。
bind vs restrict
「bind」通常指透過具體的捆綁或具有約束力的承諾、法律來限制；「restrict」則泛指設定規則、界限或條件來限制範圍、數量或行動。
口語用法
How is "Bind" used in spoken English?What is the spoken vs formal difference for "Bind"?
引述
在轉述他人要求或承諾時，常用「be bound to」來強調其約束力或必然性。 EN: She said she's bound by the contract, so she can't back out now. 翻譯: 她說她被合約綁住了，所以現在不能退出。

EN:I'm bound to say, I think you made the wrong decision.
翻譯:我不得不說，我認為你做了錯誤的決定。
停頓填充
在思考或組織語言時，有時會用「well, I'm bound...」或「that binds me...」作為短暫的停頓，暗示某種義務或限制讓自己難以行動。 EN: Can you join us tomorrow? — Well, I'm bound... let me check my schedule. 翻譯: 你明天能加入我們嗎？— 這個嘛，我有點被綁住...讓我查一下行程。
EN:I'd love to tell you more, but that binds me... I really shouldn't.
翻譯:我很想告訴你更多，但那會束縛住我...我真的不應該。
正式寫作注意：上述口語用法，特別是「I'll be bound」和作為停頓填充的用法，在正式書面語（如報告、論文、正式信件）中應避免使用，以免顯得過於隨意或不精確。

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Bind"?Which "Bind" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×I will bind the book.
✓I will bind the book.
雖然句子本身文法正確，但學習者常誤用此句表達『我會把書裝訂起來』。在一般口語中，『bind a book』通常指專業的裝訂過程。若想表達用繩子或膠帶固定書本，應使用更常見的動詞如『tie up』或『fasten』。
×She was binded by the contract.
✓She was bound by the contract.
動詞 'bind' 的過去式與過去分詞為不規則變化 'bound'，而非規則變化 'binded'。這是常見的動詞變化錯誤。
×This rule binds to everyone.
✓This rule applies to everyone. / This rule binds everyone.
表達『規則適用於某人』時，更地道的動詞是 'apply to'。'Bind' 雖然有『約束』之意，但在此語境下與 'apply to' 的用法不同，直接接受詞（bind someone）或使用被動語態（someone is bound by something）更為自然。
×We need to bind these two ideas.
✓We need to connect/link/combine these two ideas.
'Bind' 強調透過約束、捆綁或義務使其緊密結合，常用於具體物體或法律、道德約束。用於抽象概念如『想法』時，顯得不自然。應改用 'connect'、'link' 或 'combine'。
×I am in a bind situation.
✓I am in a bind. / I am in a difficult situation.
'Bind' 作為名詞表示『困境』時，是單數可數名詞，前面常加不定冠詞 'a'，形成固定片語 'in a bind'。它不直接修飾名詞（如 bind situation），應使用 'difficult'、'tricky' 等形容詞。
