常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Bowl"?Which "Bowl" sentences look correct but are wrong?

×She bowls me over with her kindness.
✓Her kindness bowls me over.
片語 'bowl over' 意為「使大吃一驚、使印象深刻」，其主語通常是令人驚訝的事物本身，而非執行驚訝動作的人。

'Bowl' 指的是投球這個動作或表現，而不是贏得比賽這個結果。贏得比賽應使用 'win'。
×He bowled a perfect score.
✓He bowled a perfect game. / He scored a perfect 300.
在保齡球中，'bowl' 的受詞通常是 'a game', 'an over' (板球) 或 'the ball'，而非 'a score'。完美表現應說 'bowl a perfect game' 或 'achieve a perfect score'。
×Let's go to bowl.
✓Let's go bowling.
表示「去從事保齡球這項活動」時，應使用動名詞 'go bowling'，這是固定的活動表達方式，而非使用動詞原形 'bowl'。
