常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Bone"?Which "Bone" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×I boned the fish yesterday.
✓I deboned the fish yesterday.
當表示「去除骨頭」時，應使用「debone」而非「bone」。「Bone」作動詞時通常指「用骨頭支撐」或「非常努力學習」，而「debone」才是「去骨」的標準動詞。
×He bones up for the exam.
✓He is boning up for the exam.
片語「bone up (on something)」表示「努力學習/溫習」，通常用於進行式或不定式，以表示正在進行的準備動作。單獨使用「bones up」不符合慣用語法。
×The dog boned the meat.
✓The dog gnawed on the bone. / The dog ate the meat off the bone.
動詞「bone」不直接用於描述動物「啃骨頭」的動作。應使用更準確的動詞如「gnaw on (a bone)」或描述性片語「eat ... off the bone」。
×This steak is very boned.
✓This steak is boneless. / This steak has been deboned.
「Boned」作為形容詞通常指「有骨的」或「用骨支撐的」，與想表達的「無骨的」意思相反。表示「無骨的」應使用「boneless」，或使用動詞的被動式「has been deboned」。
×He boned the structure with steel.
✓He reinforced the structure with steel.
雖然「bone」作動詞有「用骨狀物支撐」的技術性含義，但在日常描述「用鋼材加固結構」時，使用「reinforce」更為自然且常見。「Bone」在此語境下過於狹義且不自然。
