常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Blossom"?Which "Blossom" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×The flowers are blossoming in the garden.
✓The flowers are blooming in the garden.
雖然 'blossom' 和 'bloom' 都與開花有關，但 'blossom' 通常特指果樹（如櫻花、桃花、蘋果花）開花，或用作抽象比喻（如才華、關係的發展）。一般觀賞花卉開花更常用 'bloom'。
×Their friendship blossomed a beautiful flower.
✓Their friendship blossomed into a beautiful relationship.
'Blossom' 作為動詞表示『發展、成長』時，是不及物動詞，後面常接 'into' 來引導發展的結果或狀態，不能直接接賓語。
×I want to blossom my skills.
✓I want my skills to blossom. / I want to develop my skills.
'Blossom' 是不及物動詞，不能用於使役結構（如 make something blossom）。正確用法是讓主語（如 skills, talent）自己『blossom』，或用 'develop', 'cultivate' 等及物動詞。
×The tree is full of blossoms.
✓The tree is in blossom. / The tree is full of blossoms.
這個錯誤在於混淆詞性。'Blossom' 作動詞時是不及物的（The tree blossoms）。'Blossoms' 作名詞複數時，指『花朵』本身（The tree has many blossoms）。'In blossom' 是片語，表示『正在開花（的狀態）』。原句文法沒錯，但想表達『正在開花』的狀態時，'in blossom' 更地道。
×The project blossomed quickly in just two days.
✓The project developed quickly in just two days.
'Blossom' 隱含著一個從潛伏、準備到自然、美好地展現的過程，通常需要一定的時間，不適用於描述極短時間內發生的快速變化。描述快速發展應使用 'develop quickly', 'grow rapidly' 等。
