常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Boot"?Which "Boot" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×I booted my computer to install the new software.
✓I booted up my computer to install the new software.
當「boot」作為動詞表示「啟動電腦」時，通常會搭配「up」使用，即「boot up」。單獨使用「boot」雖然有時可被理解，但「boot up」是更自然、更常見的搭配。
×He was booted from the team because his poor attitude.
✓He was booted from the team because of his poor attitude.
「boot someone from...」表示「將某人趕出/開除出...」。在說明原因時，需要使用「because of + 名詞」或「because + 子句」的結構。原句缺少了連接詞「of」，導致文法錯誤。
×The system is booting. Please wait.
✓The system is booting up. Please wait.
在進行式時態中，表示「正在啟動」的動作，使用「booting up」比單獨使用「booting」更為自然和常見，強調啟動的過程。
×I need to boot the car.
✓I need to start the car.
動詞「boot」主要用於啟動電腦、電子系統或作業系統。對於啟動汽車、引擎這類機械裝置，標準的動詞是「start」。使用「boot」來表示啟動汽車是不正確的。
×The manager booted him to leave the company.
✓The manager booted him out of the company.
「Boot someone」表示強制驅逐或開除。若要明確指出從某個地方或團體中被趕出，應使用「boot someone out of + [地點/團體]」的結構。原句使用不定詞「to leave」來表示目的，不符合此動詞片語的慣用搭配。
