boo doing vs boo to do
- boo doing 通常用於描述對一個正在發生或經常發生的行為表示不滿或喝倒采。
- boo to do 則常出現在特定結構中，如
would boo to + V，用來表達對一個假設性或未來可能發生的行為的反對。 - 在許多情況下，兩者可以互換，但 boo doing 更強調對活動本身的厭惡，而 boo to do 有時更強調對特定場合或時機下該行為的不認同。 EN: The audience started to boo the actor forgetting his lines repeatedly. 翻譯: 觀眾開始對那位演員一再忘詞喝倒采。

常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Boo"?Which "Boo" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×The audience booed the actor because they liked him.
✓The audience booed the actor because they disliked him.
「boo」表示發出噓聲以表達不滿、反對或輕蔑，不是表示讚賞。當觀眾喜歡表演時，應該用「cheer」或「applaud」。
×She booed her friend to surprise her.
✓She said "boo!" to her friend to surprise her.
「boo」作為動詞通常指在公開場合（如表演、比賽）對某人發出噓聲。要表示突然出現並喊「Boo!」來嚇人，應使用片語「say 'boo!'」或「shout 'boo!'」。動詞「boo」不直接用於朋友間開玩笑的嚇人動作。
×They were booing happily at the concert.
✓They were cheering/shouting happily at the concert.
「boo」帶有負面情緒（不贊成、憤怒、失望）。描述快樂、興奮的呼喊應用「cheer」、「shout with joy」或「yell enthusiastically」。用「booing happily」在語意上是矛盾的。
×I booed the bad news.
✓I groaned at the bad news. / I was disappointed by the bad news.
「boo」是對「人」或「其表現」發出的公開、有聲的抗議，通常用於現場活動。對抽象事物（如消息、結果）感到失望時，應用「groan」、「moan」、「express disappointment」等。
×He got booed from the stage.
✓He was booed off the stage.
常見的慣用語是「boo someone off the stage」，意思是噓聲大到讓某人離開舞台。使用「from」或「at」無法準確傳達這個強制離開的結果。
